University Challenge. Asking the questions, Jeremy Paxman.

0:00:200:00:25

Hello. So far we have seen the teams from Trinity College, Cambridge,

0:00:280:00:32

the London School of Oriental and African Studies,

0:00:320:00:35

and Somerville College, Oxford,

0:00:350:00:37

win the first of the two quarterfinal victories

0:00:370:00:40

our draconian rules demand

0:00:400:00:41

if they are to claim a place in the semifinals.

0:00:410:00:44

Tonight, two more teams are looking for the first

0:00:440:00:46

of their quarterfinal victories, whichever team loses

0:00:460:00:50

will have just one more chance to stay in the contest.

0:00:500:00:53

Now, the team from Queen's University, Belfast,

0:00:530:00:55

beat Aberdeen University in the first round, despite trailing

0:00:550:00:58

until the final minutes,

0:00:580:01:00

when they managed to pull away

0:01:000:01:02

and secure a winning margin of 35 points.

0:01:020:01:04

Round two was kinder to them when they were up against

0:01:040:01:07

Downing College, Cambridge, whom they beat convincingly, 210-135.

0:01:070:01:13

Let's meet the Queen's team for the third time.

0:01:130:01:16

Hi, my name is Suzanne Cobain, I'm from County Down,

0:01:280:01:32

0:01:350:01:37

APPLAUSE

0:01:370:01:41

The team from Southampton University lost their first-round match

0:01:410:01:44

against the London School of Oriental and African Studies,

0:01:440:01:47

but survived thanks to the mollycoddling clemency

0:01:470:01:50

of the highest scoring losers rule, which allowed them

0:01:500:01:53

to return and beat Loughborough University in the play-offs.

0:01:530:01:57

Then in round two they came away with a score of 335

0:01:570:02:01

against a Bangor team who, suffice to say,

0:02:010:02:04

failed to find the form they were on in round one.

0:02:040:02:06

Let's meet the Southampton team for the fourth time.

0:02:060:02:09

Hello, I'm David Bishop, from Reading. I'm studying physics.

0:02:090:02:14

Hello, I am Richard Evans, I'm from Frimley in Surrey,

0:02:140:02:16

0:02:160:02:17

And let's meet their captain:

0:02:170:02:19

Hi, I am Bob De Caux I am originally from West Sussex,

0:02:190:02:22

What two-word phrase was introduced on the BBC's Third Programme

0:04:130:04:18

at 6:30 PM on 28 March 1949

0:04:180:04:19

and later became a familiar designation

0:04:190:04:22

of a cosmological model of the development of the universe?

0:04:220:04:26

-Big Bang Theory?

-Two words.

-Three words.

0:05:030:05:07

in 1960, Hoyle developed the idea

0:05:070:05:09

that runaway nuclear fusion was the energy source

0:05:090:05:12

0:05:120:05:14

0:05:570:06:00

Colostrum.

THEY WHISPER

0:09:350:09:39

-Any ideas?

-I don't know.

What do you reckon?

0:09:400:09:42

THEY WHISPER

0:09:420:09:45

Christian Scientist.

0:09:450:09:46

No, it is Methodism.

0:09:460:09:48

William Hastings was a prominent courtier,

0:09:480:09:50

executed by Richard of Gloucester, probably on the grounds

0:09:500:09:53

0:10:250:10:26

The bonuses this time, Southampton, on the 2011 census.

0:10:260:10:30

According to the 1911 census,

0:10:300:10:32

36 million people were resident in England and Wales.

0:10:320:10:35

How many residents did the 2011 census record?

0:10:350:10:39

You can have 1 million either way.

0:10:390:10:40

England and Wales together.

0:10:400:10:42

-Wales? How many in Scotland, then, say?

-About 5 million from Scotland.

0:10:420:10:48

So that's 65.

0:10:480:10:49

-No...

-I'd go 64, 65.

0:10:490:10:52

-Maybe bit lower.

-63? 64? OK.

0:10:520:10:55

0:10:550:10:57

No, it is 56, I'm afraid.

0:10:570:10:59

Secondly, in 1911, 5% of the population was aged 65 or over.

0:10:590:11:04

To the nearest whole number, what was the percentage for 2011?

0:11:040:11:08

You can have 2% either way.

0:11:080:11:10

THEY WHISPER

0:11:100:11:14

No, it is 16.

0:11:210:11:22

And finally, in 1911, the median age

0:11:220:11:25

of the population in England and Wales was 25.

0:11:250:11:28

What was it in 2011?

0:11:280:11:29

Again, you can have two years either way.

0:11:290:11:32

I think I had a look at this and it is somewhere about 37.5.

0:11:320:11:37

About 37.5!

0:11:370:11:39

37.

0:11:390:11:40

I'll accept that, yes, it is actually 39.

to its composition, and the vapour pressures of the pure components?

0:12:540:12:59

-Is that Raoult? That sounds right.

-Raoult.

0:12:590:13:02

Raoult is correct.

you'll be able to come back,

0:28:140:28:15
