0:00:28 > 0:00:32Hello. Last time, we saw Imperial College, London take the first of the

0:00:32 > 0:00:35eight places in the quarterfinal stage of this competition.

0:00:35 > 0:00:39Whichever team wins tonight will join them.

0:00:39 > 0:00:43The team from Warwick University beat Clare College, Cambridge

0:00:43 > 0:00:45by 195 points to 100.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48Their strengths included chemical elements, central

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Asia, Scandinavian crime fiction, Cypriot wine and exclamation marks.

0:00:52 > 0:00:58Let's see if they can demonstrate a similarly eclectic knowledge tonight.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27trailing in their first-round

0:01:27 > 0:01:30match against Queen Mary College, London, but managed to pull

0:01:30 > 0:01:35ahead and had 165 points at the gong, compared to their opponents' 130.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39Despite their international line-up, they were quick to recognise

0:01:39 > 0:01:43that very British phenomenon drizzle, and they were strong on 19th-century

0:01:43 > 0:01:48paintings of Paris, book titles in IPA and Henry the Navigator.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14APPLAUSE

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Right, you all know the rules by now, so let's just get on with it.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Fingers on the buzzers. Your first starter for ten.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25In Roman legend, which hero escaped from the fallen city of Troy...

0:02:26 > 0:02:27Aeneas.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Aeneas is correct, yes.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34The first set of bonuses are on prime ministers, Nuffield.

0:02:34 > 0:02:39Born in Dublin in 1737, the Earl of Shelburne became Prime Minister

0:02:39 > 0:02:41towards the end of which war?

0:02:41 > 0:02:44His immediate predecessors were the Marquess of Rockingham

0:02:44 > 0:02:46and Lord North.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49The War of American Independence.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53Indeed. Also born in Dublin before the 1801 Act of Union, which former

0:02:53 > 0:02:57military figure became Prime Minister for the first time in 1929?

0:02:59 > 0:03:01The Duke of Wellington.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Correct. Born in New Brunswick, Canada,

0:03:03 > 0:03:06who became Prime Minister after a meeting of the Carlton Club

0:03:06 > 0:03:10in October 1922 during which he spoke against the coalition?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Arthur Bonar-Law.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16It was Andrew Bonar-Law, but Bonar-Law was the surname I wanted

0:03:16 > 0:03:20and I got it. Thanks. Right, ten points for this.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23What single-word term was coined by the author

0:03:23 > 0:03:28William Gibson in 1982 in a short story called Burning Chrome

0:03:28 > 0:03:32and is used to mean the virtual world created by the links...

0:03:33 > 0:03:34Cyberspace?

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Cyberspace is right, yes.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Your bonuses are on animals this time, Nuffield.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43Which large raptor has two species native to Britain, the golden

0:03:43 > 0:03:45and the sea or white-tailed?

0:03:48 > 0:03:49Hawk.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Oh, no, that's too generic. It's an eagle.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55The beagle is a dog breed whose ancestors are thought to

0:03:55 > 0:03:57include which extinct breed?

0:03:57 > 0:04:01Its six-letter name is a traditional pub name, perhaps because of

0:04:01 > 0:04:05its association with heraldic badges and with the Earls of Shrewsbury.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Should have gone to more pubs!

0:04:14 > 0:04:15Sorry, we don't know.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18It's a talbot. You sound as if you've never been in a pub!

0:04:18 > 0:04:21And finally, found chiefly in the North Atlantic,

0:04:21 > 0:04:25the porbeagle is a species of which broad group of cartilaginous

0:04:25 > 0:04:28fish related to rays and skates?

0:04:32 > 0:04:37- I'd say flatfish or flounder.- Right, well, which one do you prefer?

0:04:37 > 0:04:38Plaice?

0:04:38 > 0:04:40All right. Plaice.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43No, it's a shark. Ten points for this.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45What is being described?

0:04:45 > 0:04:49A two-dimensional graph with space on the x-axis and time on the y...

0:04:51 > 0:04:52Oh. Er...

0:04:52 > 0:04:53Acceleration?

0:04:53 > 0:04:56No. If you buzz, you must answer straight away, and I'm going to have

0:04:56 > 0:04:59to fine you five points for an incorrect interruption.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01..space on the x-axis, time on the y-axis,

0:05:01 > 0:05:05straight lines depict fermions, wavy lines depict bosons.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08They're used by physicists to calculate processes

0:05:08 > 0:05:12such as electron-electron scattering in quantum electrodynamics.

0:05:15 > 0:05:16Feynman diagram?

0:05:16 > 0:05:17Correct.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23These bonuses are on astronomy, Warwick.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27What six-letter term did the US astronomer Ed Spiegel

0:05:27 > 0:05:32coin in 1978 to denote an unusually strong source of gamma rays?

0:05:32 > 0:05:37The extragalactic object Markarian 421 is an example.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Quasar.- Quasar?

0:05:39 > 0:05:40No, it's blazar.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Varying by as much as 50% flux in a single day,

0:05:43 > 0:05:47for what does the abbreviation OVV stand when referring to

0:05:47 > 0:05:53a class of blazar consisting of a few rare, bright radio galaxies?

0:05:57 > 0:06:00I don't know. Any ideas?

0:06:00 > 0:06:02I don't know.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- No, we don't know. - It's Optically Violent Variable.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09And finally, named after a US astronomer in 1943

0:06:09 > 0:06:13and believed by many astronomers to be the same objects as quasars

0:06:13 > 0:06:18but viewed differently, what type of active galactic nuclei show

0:06:18 > 0:06:20broad emission lines in their spectrum?

0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Nominate Osborn.- Seyfert galaxies?

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Correct. Ten points for this.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30Dating from the early 2nd century BC, the Rosetta Stone carries

0:06:30 > 0:06:33the same inscription in three distinct writing systems.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Please name two of them.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Er, Greek and Ancient Egyptian.

0:06:40 > 0:06:41That's correct, yes.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Right, you get a set of bonuses on the Circle Line.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51In each case, give the single-word name of the station that

0:06:51 > 0:06:53shares its name with the following.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55And for the avoidance of doubt, we're talking about the

0:06:55 > 0:06:59Circle Line of the Singapore Mass Rapid Transit System.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00LAUGHTER

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Firstly, ultimately from the Latin meaning "levelled"

0:07:03 > 0:07:07and later applied to the flat ground on the top of a rampart,

0:07:07 > 0:07:10the term that now denotes an area where one walks for pleasure,

0:07:10 > 0:07:11typically by the sea.

0:07:13 > 0:07:14Promenade?

0:07:14 > 0:07:15No, it's Esplanade.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Secondly, the naval commander who became Viceroy of India in 1946.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23He was assassinated in Ireland in 1979.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Lord Mountbatten.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Mountbatten is correct. And finally,

0:07:28 > 0:07:32a designation used by the RAF for the Douglas DC-3 airliner.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35It appears in the names of two US states.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Dakota?- Think so?

0:07:38 > 0:07:40I think it's Dakota.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43But wouldn't it be weird to have Dakota in...

0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Or Carolina. - I feel better about Dakota.- OK.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Dakota.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Dakota is correct, yes. We're going to take a picture round.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55For your picture starter, you'll see part of the cast list of a film.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57For ten points, I want both the name

0:07:57 > 0:07:59of the missing actress who won an Oscar

0:07:59 > 0:08:03for her performance in the film and the name of the character she played.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Faye Dunaway, Annie Hall?

0:08:14 > 0:08:15Correct.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19For your bonuses, three more lists which omit the name

0:08:19 > 0:08:22of the actress who won an Oscar for her performance in that film.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Five points. In each case I'd like the name of the actor

0:08:25 > 0:08:27and her character. Firstly...

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Liza Minnelli. It's...

0:08:33 > 0:08:35- Sally Bowles.- Nominate Stevenson.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Liza Minnelli, Sally Bowles.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42That's correct, as in Cabaret, yes. Secondly...

0:08:45 > 0:08:48It's Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Do you know who played her? - Smith?

0:08:51 > 0:08:54It's Nurse Ratched and... Ann Radcliffe?

0:08:54 > 0:08:55No, it was Louise Fletcher,

0:08:55 > 0:08:59who played her in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. And finally...

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Is this Fargo?

0:09:03 > 0:09:07Yeah, this is Fargo, so it's Frances McDormand. Ah, what's her name?

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- The detective.- Any idea what her name is?

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Start with Smith.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Frances McDormand and...Smith.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19No, it was Marge Gunderson, was the name of the character.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23Never mind, you did well enough there. Right, ten points for this.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Quote - "Do you feel an uncomfortable heat at the pit of your stomach,

0:09:26 > 0:09:30"sir, and a nasty thumping at the top of your head? Ah, not yet.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34"It will lay hold of you. I call it the detective fever."

0:09:34 > 0:09:38These are the word of Gabriel Betteredge in which work of 1868,

0:09:38 > 0:09:41often considered the first detective...

0:09:42 > 0:09:43The Moonstone?

0:09:43 > 0:09:44The Moonstone's right, yes.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Right, these bonuses are on pairs of anagrams.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54In each case, give both words from the definitions.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Firstly, two five-letter words meaning

0:09:57 > 0:09:59added an ingredient to enhance flavour,

0:09:59 > 0:10:04for example whisky in coffee, and a noun denoting a design

0:10:04 > 0:10:08prepared on a treated paper for transfer onto another surface.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Trace...

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Lace.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16No, they're anagrams.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Caret...?!

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Yeah, trace and...caret?!

0:10:23 > 0:10:25- No, it's laced and decal. - Ah.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Secondly, two seven-letter words, one meaning to cover,

0:10:28 > 0:10:31entwine or encircle, the other meaning the general

0:10:31 > 0:10:34state of the atmosphere at a particular time and place.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Climate...

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Weather?

0:10:45 > 0:10:49Both seven letters. Can anyone think of an anagram?

0:10:50 > 0:10:54- No, we don't know. - It's wreathe and weather. Bad luck.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56And finally, two seven-letter words,

0:10:56 > 0:10:59one a colloquial term meaning damaged or wrecked,

0:10:59 > 0:11:03the other an informal term used primarily in the US to mean clothes.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25the same year that his father was elected Labour MP for Kettering?

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Six years later, he became the first man to have won at some

0:11:28 > 0:11:33point in his career each of the Lawn Tennis Grand Slam singles titles.

0:11:35 > 0:11:36Fred Perry?

0:11:36 > 0:11:37Correct.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43These bonuses could give you the lead, if you get them.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46They're on exhibitions in the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50Firstly for five points, "It's a work about mass production,"

0:11:57 > 0:12:00consisted of millions of hand-crafted pieces of porcelain?

0:12:00 > 0:12:01Ai Weiwei.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Correct. Made from 14,000 polyethylene casts

0:12:04 > 0:12:07of the interiors of different cardboard

0:12:07 > 0:12:12boxes, Embankment was the 2005 exhibit by which

0:12:40 > 0:12:44- Kraftwerk. - Correct. Ten points for this.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47What word results when one concatenates the initial

0:12:47 > 0:12:50letters of the capitals of Ecuador, Mongolia,

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Pakistan and Croatia?

0:12:55 > 0:12:56Quiz.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Quiz is correct, yes.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06Right, your bonuses are on a mathematical function, Warwick.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10What is the name of the mathematical function that for positive integers N

0:13:10 > 0:13:14is defined as the product of the integers from 1 to N?

0:13:15 > 0:13:16Factorial.

0:13:16 > 0:13:17Factorial is correct.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Which 18th-century Scottish mathematician gives his name

0:13:20 > 0:13:24to a commonly used approximation to the factorial function?

0:13:25 > 0:13:28Could be Napier?

0:13:28 > 0:13:29I'm not convinced.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Napier?

0:13:32 > 0:13:35No, it's Stirling, the Stirling approximation.

0:13:35 > 0:13:39And finally, the gamma function evaluated at N = 10

0:13:39 > 0:13:41is equal to the factorial of which integer?

0:13:46 > 0:13:50Y'know, I don't know, and I feel like I probably should.

0:13:50 > 0:13:51Just guess.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53100.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56No, it's 9. We're going to take a music round.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59For your music starter, you'll hear a piece of classical music.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Ten points if you can identify the composer.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Johann Sebastian Bach?

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Nope. You can hear a little more, Warwick.

0:14:27 > 0:14:28Handel?

0:14:28 > 0:14:33No, it was one of Vivaldi's concerti for recorders.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36So we'll come to the music bonuses in a moment or two.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38In the meantime, here's a starter question.

0:14:38 > 0:14:42A Kerr-Newman with both charge and angular momentum,

0:14:42 > 0:14:46and a Schwarzschild, which has no charge and no angular momentum,

0:14:46 > 0:14:50are two of the four possible types of what astronomical object?

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Black hole?

0:14:54 > 0:14:55Correct.

0:14:59 > 0:15:03Right, so we're going to go back to the music bonuses now,

0:15:03 > 0:15:07and your music bonuses, three more reminders that the recorder is

0:15:07 > 0:15:09good for more than just primary-school assemblies.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13I want the name of the German-born composer in each case, please.

0:15:13 > 0:15:14Firstly for five...

0:15:30 > 0:15:31Handel?

0:15:31 > 0:15:34It is Handel, yes. And secondly...

0:15:41 > 0:15:42Bach?

0:15:42 > 0:15:45No, that's Telemann. And finally...

0:15:50 > 0:15:51Bach.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55That IS Bach, yes! Ten points for this.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58In addition to methane, what gas is released suddenly and in great

0:15:58 > 0:16:03quantity in the phenomenon known as a limnic eruption or lake overturn?

0:16:03 > 0:16:05The gas...

0:16:05 > 0:16:06Carbon monoxide?

0:16:06 > 0:16:09No. You lose five points.
