0:00:28 > 0:00:31Hello. Another second-round match lies ahead of us,
0:00:31 > 0:00:35with a prize for the winning team being a place in the quarterfinals.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Perhaps almost as welcome for the losers
0:00:37 > 0:00:40will be the opportunity to watch the quarterfinals
0:00:40 > 0:00:43from the comfort and safety of their own homes.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Wolfson College Cambridge gained an early lead

0:00:47 > 0:00:50against the School of Oriental and African Studies, then lost it,
0:00:50 > 0:00:54then had a neck-and-neck race to the gong, which ended on a tie-break.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Knowing what goes on in the mouth of a mollusc gave victory to Wolfson,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01proving, as so often in this contest, that no knowledge,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04however recondite, is ever wasted.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08With an average age of 25, let's meet the Wolfson team again.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43which was pretty close against Corpus Christi College Oxford,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46but then won their play-off against Queens College Cambridge,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49having built up a commanding lead by the halfway point.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52After that, they rather rested on their laurels,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55and only beat Queens to the buzzer twice in the second half.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58With an average age of 20, let's meet the Jesus team again.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31let's just crack on with it.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Is it Crewe?- It is Crewe, yes.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26APPLAUSE
0:07:28 > 0:07:30That puts you in the lead. Crewe is an example, of course,

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Could that be Bradford, maybe?
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Or is that too far east?
0:07:54 > 0:07:55It could be. Shall we try it?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Can you think of anything else? - No, try it.- Bradford?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I think Bradford's a bit further north than that. That's Doncaster.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25It's not Salisbury, that's a really old town.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26I'm sorry, we don't know.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28It's Swindon, it WAS Wiltshire.
