0:00:42 > 0:00:45to go through as well, and we'll be saying goodbye to the losers.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47The team from Clare College, Cambridge,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50beat Loughborough University and Christchurch, Oxford,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52in closely fought matches in the first and second rounds,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55but then lost their first quarterfinal match
0:00:55 > 0:00:57against Somerville College, Oxford,
0:00:57 > 0:01:01albeit by only a 35-point margin, but tonight they'll no doubt be
0:01:01 > 0:01:03looking to recover their earlier form.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Let's meet the Clare College team again.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Hi. My name's Tom Watson,

0:01:26 > 0:01:29APPLAUSE
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Queen's University, Belfast,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34are in the same boat as their opponents tonight.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38They lost their first quarterfinal match, against Southampton,
0:01:38 > 0:01:39by a 200-point margin,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41so tonight they'll need to show the mettle
0:01:41 > 0:01:44that saw them beat Aberdeen University in round one,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47and Downing College, Cambridge, in round two.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14APPLAUSE
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Shall we just rattle on with it? Fingers on the buzzers.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Your first starter for ten.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25What surname links a major figure of the satire boom of the 1960s...
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Cook.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30How did you know what...? Yeah, you're quite...
0:02:30 > 0:02:33You get the points - I'm just amazed you could get it so fast. Well done.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Right, Queen's, you get the first set of bonuses - they're on history.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42"To be ignorant of what happened before you were born
0:02:42 > 0:02:44"is to remain forever a child."
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Who made that statement in a forensic statement of 46BC?
0:02:50 > 0:02:51(Julius Caesar?)
0:02:51 > 0:02:53(Cicero?)
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Cicero.- Correct.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00"The reign of Antoninus is marked by the rare advantage
0:03:00 > 0:03:03"of furnishing very few materials for history, which is
0:03:03 > 0:03:06"indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies
0:03:06 > 0:03:09"and misfortunes of mankind."
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Those words appear in a work of 1776, by which historian?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16(1776...)
0:03:19 > 0:03:21(Gibbon?)
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Gibbon?- Correct.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25And finally, for five points, "Universal history,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28"the history of what man has accomplished in this world,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31"is at bottom the history of the great men who worked here."
0:03:31 > 0:03:34These are the words of which Scottish historian,
0:03:34 > 0:03:35in a work of 1840?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48McClow? McClowley, something like that?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50No, it's Macaulay you're thinking of.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53And it wasn't - it was Carlisle, I'm afraid.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Right, ten points for this.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Fehlleistungen or parapraxis are more formal names for what
0:03:58 > 0:04:02error of speech, thought to reveal an aspect of the unconscious mind?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Freudian slip.- Correct.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Right, these bonuses are on the moons of Jupiter, Queen's, Belfast.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Which Jovian moon is named after the foster mother of Zeus,
0:04:15 > 0:04:19who's sometimes represented as the goat that suckled the infant god
0:04:19 > 0:04:21in a Cretan cave?
0:04:27 > 0:04:28(Io.)
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Io?
0:04:29 > 0:04:30No, it's Amalthea.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Which Galilean satellite displays the most volcanic
0:04:33 > 0:04:36activity of any body in the solar system
0:04:36 > 0:04:40and is named after the priestess of Hera, who was loved by Zeus?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44She was turned into a heifer to help her escape detection.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46(I'm tempted to say Europa.)
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Europa?- No, that WAS Io.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53And finally, the smallest of those discovered by Galileo -
0:04:53 > 0:04:56which moon is the named after the Venetian princess who bore
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Zeus three sons, including Minos, king of Crete?
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Europa?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04It was Europa, yes.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Ten points for this.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08What name links the ship that carried out the first major
0:05:08 > 0:05:11oceanographic expedition in the 1870s,
0:05:11 > 0:05:15NASA's second space shuttle, Orbiter, destroyed in 1986...
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Endeavour?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21No. You lose five points. ..and the diving submersible used by
0:05:21 > 0:05:25James Cameron to reach the deepest known point on Earth in 2012?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Challenger?
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Challenger is right, yes.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Right, these bonuses are on physics and human senses, Clare College.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39The frequency range of a healthy young person's hearing stretches
0:05:39 > 0:05:44roughly from 20Hz to 20kHz, an interval equal to how many octaves,
0:05:44 > 0:05:45to the nearest whole number?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48(Octave is doubling, so 20...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50(40, 80,
0:05:50 > 0:05:55(160, 320, 640...)
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- (So ten-ish?) - (Seven.)
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Seven?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04No, it's ten.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Secondly,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07if the term octave is interpreted to mean
0:06:07 > 0:06:11a factor of two in the frequency of any type of wave,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14then what is the human eye's range of sensitivity
0:06:14 > 0:06:17to electromagnetic waves, again to the nearest whole number of octaves?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20(Oh, no, I...)
0:06:20 > 0:06:21One?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Correct. If that visible range is said to
0:06:23 > 0:06:27be between values of 400 at the red end of the spectrum,
0:06:27 > 0:06:33and 800 at the violet end, what units of frequency are being used?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35(Nanometres?
0:06:35 > 0:06:36It is nanometres.)
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Nanometres.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39No, they're terahertz.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Ten points for this. Listen carefully.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44In an article of April 2013, in the London Review Of Books,
0:06:44 > 0:06:45it was noted that Shakespeare
0:06:45 > 0:06:49and Freud were the most written-about people in its archive.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Which British political figure was third?
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Churchill?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Clare, one of you buzz.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Margaret Thatcher?
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Correct.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Clare, your bonuses this time are on historic buildings
0:07:05 > 0:07:07in the words of the author Simon Jenkins.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Firstly, "Completed in 1588 for Sir Frances Willoughby -
0:07:11 > 0:07:15"a fussy, learned and increasingly demented tycoon
0:07:15 > 0:07:18"who'd made his fortune from local coal."
0:07:18 > 0:07:23These words describe Wollaton Hall, in which English city?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24(Coal...)
0:07:24 > 0:07:27(Coal - it's going to be...somewhere.)
0:07:27 > 0:07:30(It's going to be... 1588... York?)
0:07:30 > 0:07:31York?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33No, it's in Nottingham.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35"The hall's interior is sensational.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37"The uprights are beautifully moulded
0:07:37 > 0:07:41"and the quatrefoils on the walls have an almost jazzy effect."
0:07:41 > 0:07:46These words refer to the 15th- century Ordsall Hall in which city?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Is it Bradford?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54No, it's in Salford. It's just over there, in fact.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58And finally, "A place of which its city can be proud.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01"It ranks among the great Jacobean houses of the North."
0:08:01 > 0:08:04These words describe Temple Newsam, in which English City?
0:08:06 > 0:08:11(..going to go with York again, but... Any better ideas?)
0:08:11 > 0:08:12York?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15No, it's Leeds. We're going to take a picture round now.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16For your picture starter,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19you'll see the route of a notable motorsport endurance event.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20For ten points...
0:08:20 > 0:08:24I haven't even put the picture up yet!
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Le Mans?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Er, no, but how did you do that without...?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32No, I didn't... It was just pre-emptive buzzing.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Oh, I see! Right.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36You were very foolish, because I'm going to have to offer it
0:08:36 > 0:08:37to them and they will see the map.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41The Dakar Rally?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It is the Dakar Rally.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46It used to be held near Dakar.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Now it's clearly in a different continent altogether.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Logically enough.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53So you're going to see, for your bonuses,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56more routes of longstanding motorsport endurances races.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Five points for each you can name.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Firstly...
0:09:05 > 0:09:06The Mille Miglia?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10It is indeed, yes, generally raced in classic cars,
0:09:10 > 0:09:12from Brescia to Rome and back again.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Secondly, this route for 2013.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23We don't know.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24That's the Gumball Rally -
0:09:24 > 0:09:27for people with more money than sense, I believe.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28And, finally...
0:09:32 > 0:09:34The Isle of Man TT.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36It is indeed. For motorbikes, yes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Right, ten points for this starter question.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43Quote - "She will find a match in my son, the most pig-headed,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46"stubborn boy who ever lived, and who has round his brains
0:09:46 > 0:09:49"such a thick crust that I defy any man or woman
0:09:49 > 0:09:51"ever to discover what is in them."
0:09:51 > 0:09:55These words of his mother refer to the marriage of which future
0:09:55 > 0:09:57king of Great Britain to...
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Edward VII?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03No. I'm afraid you lose five points.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05..to Sophia Dorothea of Celle?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Edward VIII?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Edward VIII?! No. It was George I.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Right, ten points for this.
0:10:17 > 0:10:23What unit of pressure is defined as 101,325 newtons per square metre?
0:10:23 > 0:10:24It's equivalent...
0:10:25 > 0:10:26The atmosphere?
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Correct.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Clare College, your bonuses are on French utopian socialists now.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38Born in 1760, an early proponent of economic planning,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40which French thinker suggested that scientists should take
0:10:40 > 0:10:43the place of priests in the social order of mankind?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46(Is that Comte?)
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Comte?
0:10:48 > 0:10:49No, it's Saint-Simon.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50In a work of 1834,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53which follower of Saint-Simon stressed
0:10:53 > 0:10:55the importance of philosophical triads,
0:10:55 > 0:11:00asserting that man comprised sensations, sentiment and intellect.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03He was one of the first to analyse socialism as a scholarly topic.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Chuck Norris?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14No, I think he was a little later. It was Pierre Le Roux.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17And finally, often credited with coining the word "feminism"
0:11:17 > 0:11:20in the 1830s, which French social theorist advocated
0:11:20 > 0:11:23the reconstruction of society into communal associations
0:11:23 > 0:11:26and producers, known as phalanxes?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32(I'm going to go with Comte again.)
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Er, Auguste Comte.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43No, it's Charles Fourier.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Right, we're going to take another starter question.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48What four-letter suffix appears at the end of verbs meaning
0:11:48 > 0:11:52to interrupt, to force a fluid into a passage or cavity,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54and to cause an image to appear...
0:11:54 > 0:11:56-ject.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57-ject is correct. J-E-C-T.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03So, these bonuses for you, Queen's, Belfast,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06are on megafauna of the Pleistocene epoch.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Firstly, members of which extinct genus of predators
0:12:10 > 0:12:13of the Pleistocene epoch are known collectively
0:12:13 > 0:12:15by the term sabre-toothed cat?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25(Just...pass.)
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Raptor.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28No, they're Smilodons.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Around the size of a modern elephant, the giant ground sloth
0:12:31 > 0:12:36is known by what name from the Greek for "great beast"?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45(Dinosaur...?)
0:12:45 > 0:12:48(No, that's "terrible lizard".)
0:12:48 > 0:12:49(Megalosaur...?)
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- (Yeah.)- (No, cos that'd be...)
0:12:51 > 0:12:52(It'd be mega- something.)
0:12:52 > 0:12:53(Megadon...?)
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Megadon?
0:12:55 > 0:12:56No, it's a Megatherium.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59And finally, around the size of a rhinoceros,
0:12:59 > 0:13:03the extinct Diprotodon is the largest known member of which

0:13:07 > 0:13:09- (It's got to be marsupi...) - (Yeah.)
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Marsupial.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Correct. Ten points for this.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17" 'Ustopia' is a world I made up by combining Utopia and Dystopia,
0:13:17 > 0:13:21"the imagined perfect society and its opposite, because, in my view,
0:13:21 > 0:13:25"each contains a latent version of the other."
0:13:25 > 0:13:27These are the words of which Canadian author, describing
0:13:27 > 0:13:28three of her novels...
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Margaret Atwood.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Correct.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39These bonuses, Queen's, are on vulgarity.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42"To be more interested in the writer than the writing is just
0:13:42 > 0:13:44"eternal human vulgarity."
0:13:44 > 0:13:46These are the words of which British novelist,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49whose works include Yellow Dog and Time's Arrow?
0:13:49 > 0:13:50(It's Amis, isn't it?)
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Martin Amis.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Correct.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57"Economy was always elegant and money-spending always vulgar
0:13:57 > 0:14:00"and ostentatious. A sort of sour grapeism which made us
0:14:00 > 0:14:03"very peaceful and satisfied."
0:14:03 > 0:14:06These words appear in which novel of 1853 by Elizabeth Gaskell?
0:14:08 > 0:14:12(North And South, is it? North And South?)
0:14:12 > 0:14:13North And South.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16No, it's Cranford. "She is hard upon vulgarity.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19"Not, however, on good-natured vulgarity such as that
0:14:19 > 0:14:23"of Mrs Jennings, but on vulgarity like that of Miss Steele."
0:14:23 > 0:14:27These words refer to which novelist, born in 1775?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30(Jane Austen?)
0:14:31 > 0:14:33(Yeah.)
