0:00:32 > 0:00:36Whichever team wins will take their place in the next round of the competition,
0:00:36 > 0:00:40and the losers could get to compete again if their score's high enough.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44The University of Strathclyde began life as Anderson's Institution
0:00:44 > 0:00:46in 1796 after John Anderson,

0:00:55 > 0:00:59to the extent that he earned himself the nickname Jolly Jack Phosphorus.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02It was his bequest that founded the institution which
0:01:02 > 0:01:06would educate the future missionary and explorer David Livingstone,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09and eventually become Glasgow's second university.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12It's now the third largest in Scotland
0:01:12 > 0:01:13with around 26,000 students.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Tonight's team tell us they aren't the swottiest in the competition
0:01:17 > 0:01:21but promise to make up for it by being ambitious and competitive.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24With an average age of around 25, let's meet them.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Hi there, my name's Michael Doroszenko.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04the comforts of the oldest inhabited university building in the world.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Teaching is done generally at university rather than college level,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11which is why Durham enters this competition as
0:02:11 > 0:02:14a single entity and tonight's team are drawn from two of its colleges.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Viewers who saw our short series for graduates last Christmas
0:02:18 > 0:02:21will know that it's alumni include the crime writer Minette Walters

0:02:28 > 0:02:30the Tsarina of Blue Peter, Biddy Baxter.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Teams from Durham have taken the title twice in the past.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47on which supercontinent would one eventually land?
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- I think it might be Gondwana. - Are you sure?

0:07:52 > 0:07:53Was it Neptune?

0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Wasabi, but...- Come on, let's have an answer.- Tofu.- No, it's miso.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Including soy sauce and mature cheeses,

0:09:36 > 0:09:40Five points for each currency and country you can identify.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Firstly...
0:09:44 > 0:09:47They have the baht in Thailand so it could be that but I don't really know.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- It's got to be country and currency, yeah?- Go for it.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- The Thai baht? - It is indeed.- Secondly...
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Looks kind of south Indochinese sort of thing.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Is it not potentially Arabic?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- Er, it might be, but which country? - What were you going to say?

0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Cambodian riel?- No, it's the Israeli shekel. And finally...
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I think that looks central Asian, like Uzbekistan.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Absolutely no idea.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25I really couldn't tell you.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- The Uzbek shekel? - No, it's the Indian rupee.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Ten points for this starter question.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Right, these bonuses, Durham, are on US state mottos,
0:10:56 > 0:11:00specifically those in languages other than in English and Latin.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Firstly, what is the only US state to have an Italian motto?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Often translated as 'strong deeds, gentle words',
0:11:07 > 0:11:11it was the motto of the English peer Cecilius Calvert who named
0:11:11 > 0:11:14the original colony after the Catholic queen of Charles I.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Maine.- No, it's Minnesota.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41And, finally, Montana is the only state with a Spanish motto,

0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Gold and silver, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Gold and silver.- Correct. Another starter question now.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53The native language of the Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore...
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Bengali.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Bengali is correct, yes.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Right, Durham, these bonuses on cocktails.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06In each case, name the cocktail from its description.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Said to have been created by a bartender in New York state,
0:12:10 > 0:12:14a popular version mixes equal parts of rum, gin, vodka, tequila and triple sec
0:12:14 > 0:12:16with sugar syrup and lemon juice,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19shaken with ice and topped with cola.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- Long Island iced tea?- Correct.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24From the Tahitian for 'out of this world',

0:12:28 > 0:12:33ice, rum, Curacao, almond sugar syrup and rock candy syrup.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I can't even think... I know what it is.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38It's not Mahiki, that's a club!
0:12:40 > 0:12:44The only thing I can think of that is even close is mojito, but it's not that.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45No, it's not mojito.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- No, I don't know.- No, we don't know.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49That's a Mai Tai, apparently.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52And, finally, its name probably derived from the Latin for blood,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55which Spanish punch is typically made with red or white wine,
0:12:55 > 0:12:59sugar, fruit juice and soda water, sometimes laced with brandy?

0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Dalton?- It is John Dalton, yes.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Right, there's still plenty of time, Strathclyde.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38We're going to take a music round now.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Your music starter is a piece of popular music.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Ten points if you can identify the band performing.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48# You're the best thing
0:14:48 > 0:14:51# You're the best thing
0:15:07 > 0:15:10# My simple heart will live and learn... #
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Well, none of you know who that was.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14That was D:Ream, so music bonuses shortly.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Another starter question in the meantime.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Quote - "I've spent much of my life fighting the Germans and fighting the politicians.
