0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22University Challenge.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Asking the questions, Jeremy Paxman.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Hello. The first round matches are over,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36and 14 victorious teams are through to the next stage of the competition.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Four teams of walking wounded remain on the battlefield, however,
0:00:40 > 0:00:44because their losing scores were higher than some winning scores in other fixtures,
0:00:44 > 0:00:48so they get to play for the last two places in the second round.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50As we never tire of pointing out,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52teams that have survived by this rule in the past
0:00:52 > 0:00:54have gone on to be series champions,
0:00:54 > 0:00:58to the two playing tonight and next time are still very much in contention.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00The team from Durham University
0:01:00 > 0:01:04were ahead for much of the first half of their match against Queen's College Cambridge,
0:01:04 > 0:01:09proving themselves knowledgeable on American Treasury Secretaries, regions of Italy
0:01:09 > 0:01:12and the vegetarian diet of Frankenstein's monster.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17But Queen's dominated the second half and snatched victory from them in the last few minutes.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Still, their score of 170 is the highest of the four teams in these playoffs.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23With an average age of 21,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25let's meet the Durham team again.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Hello, I'm Alex Richards.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32I'm from Breaston in Derbyshire and I'm studying Chemistry.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Hi. I'm Daniel Hulme from Staffordshire
0:01:35 > 0:01:37and I'm studying Theoretical Physics.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40And their captain. Hi, I'm Matt Mackenzie.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42I'm from Gloucestershire and I do History.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Hi. I'm Arthur Burnham.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48I'm originally from Hampshire and I'm working towards a PhD in Chemistry.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50APPLAUSE
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Now, the team from Christ Church, Oxford came away from their first round match with 150 points,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01exactly half that of their opponents Trinity College Cambridge
0:02:01 > 0:02:04but they can console themselves with the fact
0:02:04 > 0:02:07that they were up against the highest-scoring team of all in the first round.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Their strengths included cell biology, musical terminology
0:02:11 > 0:02:14and peculiarities of the international date line.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Also with an average age of 21,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18let's meet the Christ Church team again.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Hi. My name's George Greenwood.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I'm studying Politics, Philosophy and Economics and I'm from Exeter.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Hi. I'm Andreas Capstack, I'm from Norway and I'm also studying Politics, Philosophy and Economics.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33And their captain. Hi. I'm Euan Macaulay, from Hong Kong, and I'm reading Chemistry.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Hi. I'm Phil Ostrowski.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I'm from Poland and I'm studying Cardiology.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41APPLAUSE
0:02:43 > 0:02:45The rules are the same as ever.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Remember there's a five-point penalty if you interrupt a starter question incorrectly.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Ten points for this. Fingers on buzzers.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Early in 2013, Michael Ibsen, a cabinet maker in north London,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58showed by a DNA match that skeletal remains...
0:03:00 > 0:03:01King Richard III. Correct.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Your bonuses are on Pi.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11"I'm ashamed to tell you to how many figures I carried these computations,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13"having no other business at the time."
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Which scientist wrote those words in a letter of 1666
0:03:17 > 0:03:20having computed Pi to 15 digits?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Is it Isaac Newton? It is.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28What are the first five digits of the binary expansion of Pi?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Do any of you know this? What's binary expansion?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Expressed in binary.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41QUIET CONFERRING
0:03:42 > 0:03:44So, one zero one?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46We need five.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Zero one... No, I can't do it. I can't work it out.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I obviously don't know. Pass.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Pass. Very entertaining conferring, at least!
0:03:56 > 0:03:58It's one one zero zero one.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01And finally, whose treatise of the third century BC
0:04:01 > 0:04:03was entitled The Measurement of the Circle
0:04:03 > 0:04:07and includes the first rigorous calculation of Pi?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Archimedes. Archimedes. Is it Archimedes? Yes, it is.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Ten points for this. Having the potential to cause fires and contaminate land and water,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17what controversial process involves drilling into shale...
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Fracking. Fracking is correct.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24So you get a first set of bonuses, Christ Church. They're on a play by Shakespeare.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Milton's Comus and Auden's collection, The Sea and the Mirror,
0:04:27 > 0:04:32are among the works inspired by which of Shakespeare's later plays?
0:04:33 > 0:04:38The Tempest. Correct. Its characters including Robby the Robot and Dr Edward Morbius,
0:04:38 > 0:04:43which 1956 science fiction film is noted for its many similarities to The Tempest?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Science fiction.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48It's not Dune, or something?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Your call.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Pass.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00It's Forbidden Planet. Finally, described as "A Fantasia after Shakespeare's Drama",
0:05:00 > 0:05:04The Tempest is an 1873 work by which Russian composer?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Well, I've got no idea. Let's go for someone like... Tchaikovsky?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13No, it's not Tchaikovsky. Rimsky-Korsakov.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14No, it was Tchaikovsky!
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Ten points for this. "For 20 years, I've stared my level best
0:05:18 > 0:05:23"to see if evening, any evening, would suggest a patient etherised upon a table.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26"In vain. I simply wasn't able."
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Born in Belfast in 1898,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30which novelist, academic and Christian apologist
0:05:30 > 0:05:33made this comment on Eliot's Prufrock?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Is it C.S.Lewis? Yes, it is.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Bonuses, this time, Durham, on hypotheses.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44After a character in Through the Looking Glass,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46what name is given to the hypothesis
0:05:46 > 0:05:48that evolution will always continue in a given species
0:05:48 > 0:05:54in order to catch up with the evolutionary advances made by competing species?
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Red Queen hypothesis. Correct.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58In economics, what two-word term denotes the hypothesis
0:05:58 > 0:06:01that an individual cannot make an abnormally high profit
0:06:01 > 0:06:06by trading on a financial market using widely available and generally understood information,
0:06:06 > 0:06:10as the market price will itself be influenced by the same information?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Nominate Richards. No.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22We don't... Just go. Broken Window?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26No, that's an entirely... That's a sociological theory.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28No, it's the Efficient Markets hypothesis.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Finally, named after a Greek goddess,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33which hypothesis was propounded by James Lovelock
0:06:33 > 0:06:36and views the Earth as a self-sustaining living organism?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Gaia. Gaia is right. Ten points for this.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Formed around 15 million years ago, and with a diameter of around 25 kilometres,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44the Nordlinger Ries in Germany
0:06:44 > 0:06:49is an example of what extra-terrestrially-generated land form?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52A crater.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Specifically?
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Asteroid crater. Yes, it is an asteroid crater. An impact crater is what it's properly called.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02At least you didn't say "hole in the ground"!
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Your bonuses are on cell biology. What name is given to undifferentiated animal cells
0:07:06 > 0:07:08that are able to proliferate for long periods
0:07:08 > 0:07:12and have the potential under certain conditions to differentiate into specialised cells?
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Stem cells. Correct.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17The potency of stem cells is their ability to differentiate into other types of cell.
0:07:17 > 0:07:23What specific term describes those stem cells able to differentiate into all possible cell types?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Totipotent. Totipotent is correct. Finally,
0:07:30 > 0:07:34what totipotent cell is formed after fertilisation of an egg?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Zygote. Correct.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38We'll take a picture round now.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42For your picture starter, you will see the logo of an international organisation
0:07:42 > 0:07:44with any helpful wording removed.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47For ten points, give me the acronym by which it is known.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53It's UNESCO. It is, yes!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Here's the whole thing.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59You were astonished it was so easy. See how you go with these.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Bonuses are logos of three more specialised agencies of the United Nations,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07with helpful wording removed. I want the full name of the agency.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Firstly for five.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13QUIET CONFERRING
0:08:21 > 0:08:25United Nations Council for Human Rights?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Nominate Richards. United Nations Council for Human Rights?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31No, amazingly, apparently it's the International Monetary Fund.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Let's see the whole thing.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Secondly...
0:08:38 > 0:08:41It's the Atomic Energy Agency, isn't it?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Atomic Energy Agency. I'll give you that. It's the International Atomic Energy Agency.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50I'll accept that on the basis that we were kind to Christ Church a moment ago.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Let's see the whole thing.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53And finally, what's this?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58World Health Organization. It is.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00There it is. Another starter question.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Fingers on buzzers. The first six books of the Old Testament
0:09:03 > 0:09:05are collectively known as the Hexateuch,
0:09:05 > 0:09:09comprising the Pentateuch and which other, the sixth book of the Old Testament,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12named after Moses' designated successor?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Joshua. Yes.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23This set of bonuses, Christ Church, is on weather extremes.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Iquique, where there was no rainfall for 14 years,
0:09:26 > 0:09:31and Bahia Felix, which has an average of 325 rainy days a year,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34are both settlements in which country?
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Are they South American?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Try Chile? Chile, or... I think so.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Chile.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46Correct. In which country is Cherrapunji, often described as the wettest place on Earth?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49It averages more than 450 inches of rain per year.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52The comparable figure for Manchester is only 32 inches.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53I think that's India. Yes, try that.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57India. Correct. And finally, in which country is Dallol,
0:09:57 > 0:10:01where a mean annual temperature of over 34 degrees Celsius has been recorded?
0:10:01 > 0:10:02That sounds horrible!
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Something that's far from the sea.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Something internal.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Like central... Chad?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17OK. Chad. No, it's Ethiopia.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Ten points for this. Standing up to three metres tall,
0:10:20 > 0:10:24the flightless elephant bird became extinct around 1,000 years ago
0:10:24 > 0:10:26and was native to which large island?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Madagascar. Correct.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35That gives you the lead. Your bonuses now are on classical music.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40The Canadian pianist Glenn Gould's 1955 recording of which of Bach's works for harpsichord
0:10:40 > 0:10:42enjoyed an unusual level of popular success?
0:10:42 > 0:10:46The work is named after the virtuoso who's thought first to have performed it?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Somebody's concerto?
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Palestrina. Palestrina? No, it's the Goldberg Variations.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Oh, yeah. Premiered in 1899, which orchestral variations
0:11:02 > 0:11:04are based on the counter-melody to an unheard theme
0:11:04 > 0:11:09which its composer said was a well-known tune he wouldn't identify, hence their title.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Enigma?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Enigma. The Enigma Variations is right.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18And finally, the Austrian composer and publisher Anton Diabelli
0:11:18 > 0:11:22is best known for a waltz that inspired which German composer to write 33 Variations for Piano
0:11:22 > 0:11:24in 1823?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26That sounds like Schumann, doesn't it?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Yeah. Guess that.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Schumann. No, it's Beethoven. Oh. Ten points for this starter question.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Haversian canals are found in which tissue of the body?
0:11:34 > 0:11:38They contain small vessels responsible for the blood supply to osteocytes.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44This set of bonuses on being.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Usually translated in existentialist writings as "being in the world",
0:11:49 > 0:11:54which six-letter German word means "to be there", or "being there",
0:11:54 > 0:11:56and in the philosophy of Hegel denotes existence.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I don't know.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I'm going to pass. Pass.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11It's "Dasein".
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Secondly, "The Question Concerning Technology" is a 1954 work
0:12:15 > 0:12:17by which German philosopher?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20He believed that human beings should be conceived as "Dasein"
0:12:20 > 0:12:23using the concept as a replacement for "mind" and "consciousness".
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Do you know any philosophers of the 1950s?
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Guess Heidegger.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Heidegger. Correct. Which work of 1927
0:12:31 > 0:12:34is generally considered to be the most important of Heidegger's writings?
0:12:34 > 0:12:38It begins by posing the "Seinsfrage" question, what is the meaning of being?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Being and Time. Nominate Greenwood.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Being and Time. Correct. Being and Time is right. Ten points for this.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Published in 1954,
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Confessions of the Confidence Trickster Felix Krull
0:12:50 > 0:12:53was the final full-length novel by which Nobel Laureate
0:12:53 > 0:12:57who fled Nazi Germany and became a US citizen in 1944?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Grass. Nope.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07One of you may buzz from Durham.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Take a punt. Come on.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Kissinger. Kissinger?!
0:13:14 > 0:13:16That really wasn't worth saying!
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Thomas Mann. Ten points for this.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24What five-letter word links the composer of the 1967 minimalist work Piano Phase,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26the armed forces of the Weimar Republic
0:13:26 > 0:13:30and the waterfall at which Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty fought...
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Reich. Reich is correct, yes.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38These bonuses, Christ Church, are on a political theorist.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Born in Normandy in 1805,
0:13:40 > 0:13:45which political theorist is especially noted for the 1835 work Democracy in America?

0:14:05 > 0:14:07"and carries fertility to the whole world."
0:14:07 > 0:14:12Of which English city did de Tocqueville say those words in 1835?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Birmingham. Birmingham.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19No, it's Manchester.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23According to de Tocqueville, what academic field is "a gallery of pictures
0:14:23 > 0:14:26"in which there are few originals and many copies"?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Philosophy. No, it's history.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40We're going to take a music round now.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42For your starter, you'll hear a piece of popular music.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Ten points if you can name the artist, please.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48# J'irai chercher ton coeur... #
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I'm embarrassed to know this, but Celine Dion.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Yes, well, never mind, it's useful, I suppose!
0:14:56 > 0:14:58It gets you ten points even if it is embarrassing!
0:14:58 > 0:15:03Now, with 66 nominations, Celine Dion is, somewhat inexplicably,
0:15:03 > 0:15:07the most nominated artist in the history of the Canadian Music Juno Awards.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11For your bonuses, you'll hear three more female Canadian artists,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13regularly nominated for Juno awards.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Five points for each artist you can identify.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18First, with 30 nominations.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22# You'll still the one I run to
0:15:22 > 0:15:26# The one that I belong to
0:15:26 > 0:15:30# Still the one I want for life #
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Shania Twain. It is. You have no shame at all, have you?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Secondly, with 15 nominations...
0:15:35 > 0:15:39# My moon, my man, so changeable...#
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Leslie Feist. Feist.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Yep. And finally, with 23 nominations...
0:15:44 > 0:15:47# You've already won me over
0:15:47 > 0:15:50# In spite of me
0:15:50 > 0:15:54# And don't be alarmed if I fall... #
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Alanis Morissette.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Oh, my godfathers, yes! Ten points for this.
