0:00:37 > 0:00:41Both teams playing tonight lost their first quarterfinal matches,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44which means that the winners will earn themselves one last
0:00:44 > 0:00:49chance to qualify, while the losers will head off into the sunset.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53The team from the University of Birmingham had wins in rounds one

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Although their first quarterfinal
0:00:58 > 0:01:01saw them trip up against Edinburgh University,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03they did manage to earn an impressive clean sweep of
0:01:03 > 0:01:06paintings on bacchanalia, which suggests
0:01:06 > 0:01:09they know how to enjoy themselves on their nights out.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01APPLAUSE
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Your first bonuses, Birmingham, are on world history.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11In each case, name any one of the three successive years in which
0:04:11 > 0:04:13the following events occurred.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19the Treaty of Waitangi in New Zealand, and the death of
0:04:19 > 0:04:23the US president William Henry Harrison, succeeded by John Tyler.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25It's the 1830s.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Was the Opium War not 1860?
0:04:28 > 0:04:301860s, so...?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Say, early 1860s?
0:04:33 > 0:04:341863?
0:04:34 > 0:04:361863.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40No, you're way out, it's 1839, 1840 and 1841.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56American Civil War? 1866.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- 1867.- Was it '65 it started?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Because Gettysburg was 1863.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06So it can only be a couple of years before that.
0:05:06 > 0:05:071863.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11No, it was 1860, 1861 and 1862.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14And finally, the looting of Beijing by foreign troops during the
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Boxer Rebellion, the establishment of the Commonwealth of Australia
0:05:18 > 0:05:21and the end of the Second Boer War.
0:05:21 > 0:05:251900. Was it 1902, the Second Boer War finished?
0:05:25 > 0:05:26OK, so that's 1901?
0:05:26 > 0:05:281901.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31It was, the other events were in 1900 and 1902.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Ten points for this - popularised by the Dutch Nobel laureate

0:05:38 > 0:05:41in which humans have significantly...
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Anthropocene.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Anthropocene is correct, yes.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46APPLAUSE
0:05:46 > 0:05:50You get a set of bonuses, Balliol, on Mendelian genetics.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Firstly for five - Mendel crossed pea plants that were homozygous
0:05:54 > 0:05:59for round seeds with those that were homozygous for wrinkled seeds.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01What two-word term denotes that technique?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Oh, yeah, hybridisation. Hybridisation. Oh, two words.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- No, it's a monohybrid cross. - Sorry.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Secondly, what term denotes Mendel's second law of inheritance?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16It's based on the observation that crossing pea plants,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19which are heterozygous, for two traits, results in traits
0:06:19 > 0:06:25being segregated as they would in two parallel, monohybrid crosses.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- I don't know the name of it. - How's your GCSE biology?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Allelisation? I don't know.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Allelisation.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33No, it's independent assortment.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38And finally, in Mendel's nomenclature of generations,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40for what do the letters P and F stand?
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Parent and family?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Yeah, I'll go for it - parent and family.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50No, it's parental and filial.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Ten points for this.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Sky - S-K-Y - is an acronym widely used for the three most
0:06:57 > 0:07:00prestigious universities in which country?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04The S and K indicate universities named after the country's
0:07:04 > 0:07:07capital and the country itself, respectively...
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Singapore.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11No, you lose five points.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15..while the final letter stands for Yonsei.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- South Korea.- South Korea is correct.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20APPLAUSE
0:07:21 > 0:07:27You get three bonuses on the actor and director Ida Lupino.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30In the 1940s, Ida Lupino was viewed by Hollywood as a potential
0:07:30 > 0:07:34replacement for which actress, known for her confrontational manner
0:07:34 > 0:07:39as well as for her roles in films such as Jezebel and Now, Voyager?
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Bette Davis?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Could be.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Davis. Bette Davis.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Correct.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Lupino is regarded as the first female director of a mainstream
0:07:48 > 0:07:53US film noir, after the release in 1953 of which film, based on
0:07:53 > 0:07:56the true story of a highway killer?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- No idea.- Know any highway killers?
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Pass.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02It's The Hitch-Hiker.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05And finally, who starred opposite Lupino in
0:08:05 > 0:08:11They Drive By Night and High Sierra, both directed by Raoul Walsh?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Errol Flynn? When are we? - No, that's too late.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17A Western? John Wayne?
0:08:17 > 0:08:18John Wayne.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21No, it was Humphrey Bogart. We're going to take a picture round.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23For your picture starter,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26you'll see the titles of two pop songs by the same band,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30originally released in English, but here in German translation.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34For ten points, I need both the original English titles.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I Want To Hold Your Hand and She Loves Me.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46LAUGHTER
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Anyone like to buzz from Birmingham?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I Want To Hold Your Hand and She Loves You?
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Correct.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54APPLAUSE
0:08:56 > 0:08:58So you get the picture bonuses then, Birmingham.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02In 1964, the Beatles re-recorded those two songs in German
0:09:02 > 0:09:05and released them as a double A-side single.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08For your bonuses, you're going to see the titles in translation
0:09:08 > 0:09:13of three more tracks, re-recorded by 1960s artists for release in Europe.
0:09:13 > 0:09:19For the five points each, I need the precise, original English title.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Firstly for five, I need a six-word title here.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28So, always...
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Always Something There To Remind Me.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- Huh?- Always Some...thing? Someone?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Yeah, I mean, it's taken as someWHERE, but...
0:09:38 > 0:09:40The title.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Always Someone There To Remind Me.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Always Someone There To Remind Me.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49No, it's Always Something There To Remind Me.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Secondly, I need a five-word title here, please.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- If You Have A Heart, is it? - Anyone Who Had A Heart?- Yeah.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Anyone Who Had A Heart.- Correct.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04And finally, the five-word title
0:10:04 > 0:10:07under which this was released in English?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- It's like, Where Is Our Love?- Yeah.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14But a five-word title.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- "Unsere" is our, isn't it?- Yes.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38as the home shirts of Wales and France in rugby union,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41and he sometimes works as a self-employed taxi driver.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45No, sorry.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Anyone like to buzz from Balliol?
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Tintin?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55No, it's Noddy.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I'm afraid that was a technical interruption, Birmingham,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00so you've had five points taken away from you.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Here is another starter question, fingers on the buzzers.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Give the three words that complete this remark by Ronald Hutton
0:11:06 > 0:11:12in a history covering the years from 1485 to 1660.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13"The Irish had precipitated,
0:11:13 > 0:11:17"the Welsh had ensured and the Scots had failed to prevent
0:11:17 > 0:11:20"a conflict that was to go down in history as the...?"
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- English Civil War.- Correct.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25APPLAUSE
0:11:27 > 0:11:32These bonuses, Balliol College, are on Australian deserts.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Firstly, Crossing The Dead Heart is a 1946 account of the geologist
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Thomas Madigan's journey into which central Australian desert,
0:11:40 > 0:11:45named by Madigan after the financier of the expedition?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Sturt Stony Desert?
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Nominate Pope.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Sturt Stony Desert.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53No, it's the Simpson Desert.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58Lying between the Little and Great Sandy Deserts in Western Australia,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02which desert did the explorer Ernest Giles cross in the 1870s,
0:12:02 > 0:12:07naming it after a companion who died on an earlier expedition?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Can we think of any good...?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Shall we go with that again? Was it Sturt Stony?
0:12:12 > 0:12:13I guess.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Sturt Stony Desert?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17No, that's very odd name for somebody.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20It's Gibson, the Gibson Desert.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23And finally, also visited by Ernest Giles, which desert in
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Western and South Australia is the largest in the country?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30The Nullarbor Plain? I don't know!
0:12:30 > 0:12:31LAUGHTER
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Nominate Pope.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Nullarbor Plain?
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- No, it's the Great Victoria Desert. - Sorry!
0:12:38 > 0:12:40What is the point of having an Australian if
0:12:40 > 0:12:42he can't answer things like that? LAUGHTER
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- There is physics! - Ten points for this.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Quote, "All violent feelings have the same effect, they produce
0:12:49 > 0:12:53"in us a falseness in all our impressions of external things."
0:12:53 > 0:12:57These words of the critic John Ruskin refer to which literary
0:12:57 > 0:13:01device, known by a two-word term, which attributes human emotions...
0:13:03 > 0:13:04- Pathetic fallacy.- Correct.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06APPLAUSE
0:13:07 > 0:13:10These bonuses, Balliol, are on physics.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13"I have committed the ultimate sin, I have predicted
0:13:13 > 0:13:17"the existence of a particle that can never be observed."
0:13:17 > 0:13:20These words of Wolfgang Pauli refer to what particle -
0:13:20 > 0:13:24wrongly, as it transpired, in terms of detectability?
0:13:24 > 0:13:25It's going to be neutrino, probably.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Neutrinos.- Correct.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Pauli was also involved in establishing the CPT theorem,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34which implies that simultaneously changing three aspects of
0:13:34 > 0:13:38a system leaves the results of quantum field theory unchanged.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41For what do the letters C, P and T stand?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Charge, parity and time.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- Charge, parity and time.- Correct.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50And finally, Pauli formulated the exclusion principle, by which no
0:13:50 > 0:13:54two identical particles in a system can occupy the same quantum state.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57This applies to which broad class of particles?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Fermions.- Fermions.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Correct.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02APPLAUSE
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Right, we're going to take a music round now.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08For your music starter,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11you're going to hear part of a cantata by a Russian composer.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Ten points if you can identify the composer.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17DARK, SWEEPING MUSIC
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Stravinsky?
0:14:28 > 0:14:32No, you might be able to hear a little more, Birmingham, I think.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Mussorgsky?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42No, that was Prokofiev. It was Battle On The Ice.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46It originated as a collaboration with the director Sergei Eisenstein.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50So we're going to take the music bonuses in a moment or two.
