They're on the footballer Johan Cruyff, | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |

Right, your first bonuses, | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
Edinburgh, are on defining minerals in the Mohs scale of hardness. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
In each case identify the mineral from the description. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
Firstly, a common sulphate mineral that can be scratched with | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
a fingernail, its hemihydrate form is used in mouldings | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |

Gypsum. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:46 | |
Correct. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
Harder than gypsum and softer than fluorite, this mineral is the | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
stable form of calcium carbonate at most temperatures and pressures. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
-Limescale? -Calcium, it's calcium. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |

I don't know. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:11 | |
Chalk. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:12 | |
No, it's calcite. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:13 | |
And finally, this mineral scratches glass easily. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
Composed mainly of silica, it's abundant in the Earth's crust | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
and has numerous varieties, including amethyst, agate and onyx. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |

These bonuses could give you the lead. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:54 | |
They are on countries and their relative sizes. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
In each case the answer is a combination of two of | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
the four countries of the UK. For example, England and Wales. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
Firstly, Switzerland is somewhat larger than the total areas | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
of which two countries in the UK? | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
THEY CONFER | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |

And finally, the combined total area of which two countries is | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
closest to that of South Korea? | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
THEY CONFER | 0:07:58 | 0:07:59 | |
We've already had England and Scotland, haven't we? | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
Yeah. England and Wales? | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |

No, it's Scotland and Wales. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:08 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
Right, we're going to take a picture round now. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
For your picture starter, you're going to see the flag of an | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
autonomous community of Spain. You must identify it to get ten points. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
The Basque Country. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:22 | |
Correct. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:23 | |
So you retake the lead, and we follow on from the flag of the | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
Basque Country with three more flags of autonomous communities of Spain, | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
with any helpful wording removed. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
Five points for each autonomous community you can name. Firstly... | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
THEY CONFER | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
Andalusia, maybe. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
THEY CONFER | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
Andalusia's got the snow-covered mountains. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
Andalusia. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:56 | |
No, it's the Canary Islands. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
It's the seven islands that are the clue, and then these two dogs. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
Secondly... | 0:09:01 | 0:09:02 | |
THEY CONFER | 0:09:07 | 0:09:08 | |
Is that Galicia? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |

-What's it called? What's southern Spain called? Is it Andalusia? -Yes. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:23 | |
Andalusia. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
That's correct, yes. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:26 | |
The Pillars of Hercules are the clue there. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
It's the entrance to the Mediterranean, of course. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
And finally... | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
Castile. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:35 | |
I think it's Castile. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
Castile. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:39 | |
No, it's Castile and Leon, rather obviously, from the symbols there. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:45 | |

Your bonuses now are on methods in statistics, Birmingham. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
In each case name the method from the description. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
Firstly, a method that tests the null hypothesis that | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
treatment means are equal to determine if a factor | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
has a statistically significant effect on the response variable. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
Is that the chi-square test? | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
I think so. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
The chi-square test. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
No, it's the analysis of variance. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
Secondly, a method involving the building and testing of a model | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
that can be used to predict the value of a dependant variable | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |

Regression. I think it's regression analysis. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
I think it's regression. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
Regression. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:17 | |

between two variables, wherein the coefficient is between | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
minus 1 and 1, indicating either a negative or positive relationship. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
THEY CONFER | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
Any ideas? | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
