0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Six?- Ooh.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Five? Six? Or nine?

0:07:54 > 0:07:57- I don't know.- I think people who share a thing...

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Could just go for five.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Maybe like seven?- Seven.

0:08:02 > 0:08:03No, it's six.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26but the areas of its major rivers' drainage systems

0:08:26 > 0:08:30grouped by the seas into which they flow.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32One of those rivers' basins has been highlighted.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34For ten points, I want you to identify

0:08:37 > 0:08:39in the area highlighted in red.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36It's Mont Ventoux.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39Secondly, the name Ventoux is often said to refer

0:10:39 > 0:10:41to the strong winds the mountain experiences,

0:10:41 > 0:10:43including which cold north-westerly wind?
