0:00:31 > 0:00:33with a small and ancient Oxford college
0:00:33 > 0:00:36playing one of the UK's largest universities.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39As always, the object is to win a place in the second round
0:00:39 > 0:00:43or at least to lose with a score decent enough to earn
0:00:43 > 0:00:46one final chance to stay in the competition.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Oriel College Oxford was granted its Royal Charter in 1326

0:00:52 > 0:00:55which lay on the site of what is now the first quad.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00It has around 460 students and alumni include Sir Walter Raleigh,
0:01:00 > 0:01:04the historian AJP Taylor, Countdown's Rachel Riley,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07the fashion icon, Beau Brummell, and Cecil Rhodes,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11whose statue within Oriel's grounds has caused so much controversy.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15The college won the series championships back in 1966.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Needless to say, none of tonight's four was born then
0:01:17 > 0:01:20and it's quite possible their parents weren't, either.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24With an average age of 23, let's meet the Oriel team.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Hi, I'm Owen Monaghan.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Right, Manchester University has had an exceptional run
0:01:54 > 0:01:57in this competition, winning four times in the last ten years.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59But they showed an Achilles' heel, when they crashed out
0:01:59 > 0:02:01of the first round of the last series.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Manchester's origins lie in the early 19th century
0:02:05 > 0:02:09and a series of amalgamations since then have created an institution
0:02:09 > 0:02:11with a student body of 38,000,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15which in the past has included Anthony Burgess and Norman Foster.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16The comedians Jack Whitehall,

0:03:13 > 0:03:17in return for an undertaking to convert part of the national debt
0:03:17 > 0:03:19to a lower rate of interest?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22This led to gross over-speculation and in 1720...
0:03:24 > 0:03:26The South Sea Company.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Correct. Yes, it's bubble burst, then.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57you identified the work, but not the quote.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Ten points for the starter question. In the early 17th century,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03what scientific instruments were known as Dutch trunks,
0:05:03 > 0:05:07after the nationality of their probable inventor, Hans Lippershey?

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Correct.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18APPLAUSE
0:05:19 > 0:05:21You're off the mark, Oriel.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Your bonuses are on Germanic tribes.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Firstly, led by Alaric I, which Germanic tribe sacked Rome in 410?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32They ruled southern Gaul in the fifth century and most of Spain
0:05:32 > 0:05:33until early in the eighth.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35That's the Visigoths.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Correct.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Which branch of the Goths split from the Visigoths
0:05:38 > 0:05:41in the fourth century and, under Theodoric the Great,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44established the Gothic kingdom of Italy?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Is it Ostrogoths?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48What is it?
0:05:48 > 0:05:49The Ostrogoths.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Correct. The Goths drove other tribes out of France and Spain,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54including which Germanic people,
0:05:54 > 0:05:58who established a kingdom in north Africa from AD 429
0:05:58 > 0:06:00and sacked Rome in 455?
0:06:00 > 0:06:01That's the Vandals.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Ten points for this.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06In a novel of 1894,
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Strelsau is the capital of which central European country,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13although the book's title refers to a small town 50 miles
0:06:13 > 0:06:16from Strelsau, where a captive is being held in a castle?
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Prisoner of Zenda.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21No, anyone like to buzz from Oriel?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25The Czech Republic?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27No, it's Ruritania. You got the right novel,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29but I asked again for the name of the country.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30So, ten points for this.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33The cultural events and movements that occurred in Italy
0:06:33 > 0:06:36during the 15th century are often referred to
0:06:36 > 0:06:37by what term meaning 400?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40The Renaissance.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41No, you lose five points.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Meaning 400.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45It is an abbreviation of a term meaning 1,400.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Quattrocento?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Quattrocento is correct, yes.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55APPLAUSE
0:06:55 > 0:06:59You get a set of bonuses, having taken the lead, on medicine.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01From the Latin meaning "to raid",
0:07:01 > 0:07:05what six-letter common name is given to a viral disease
0:07:05 > 0:07:07caused by the lyssavirus species?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10It produces inflammation of the nervous system

0:07:25 > 0:07:26No, it's rabies.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Secondly, rabies is often contracted by a bite from an infected dog.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34What term denotes infections that are passed from animals to humans?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36What's infect?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Zoo-transmitted.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46No, it's zoonosis, but you've got the right area.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48But the word is zoonosis or zoonotic.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51And finally, uncontrollable spasms of the throat muscles, leading to
0:07:51 > 0:07:55difficulty in swallowing, is a late symptom of rabies
0:07:55 > 0:07:58and gives rise to what alternative name for the disease?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Hydrophobia or something like that.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Yes.- That might be right. Yeah, hydrophobia.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Correct. We're going to take a picture round now.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08For your picture starter,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11you're going to see an equation expressing a physical law.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14For ten points, I want you to name the scientist who's generally

0:08:21 > 0:08:22Newton.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23It is Sir Isaac Newton.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25It's his law of universal gravitation.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27APPLAUSE
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Well, Manchester, that was listed by the mathematician and writer
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Professor Ian Stewart as one of the 17 Equations That Changed The World
0:08:35 > 0:08:37in his 2012 book.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Your picture bonuses are three more of those equations.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43In each case, I want you to tell me the scientist who formulated
0:08:43 > 0:08:46and gave his name to the equation, or equations, you see.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Firstly, for five.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Maxwell's equations, is it?
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Maxwell.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18The equation defines the Fourier transform,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21which is a mathematical tool, as you know, for analysing waveforms.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Finally, here you can give me either of the mathematicians
0:09:24 > 0:09:27who independently identified this relationship.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Bernoulli.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37No, it's Euler, or Descartes is also credited with it, of course.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Right, ten points for this.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40According to Karl Popper,
0:09:40 > 0:09:45what specific concept demarcates the difference between science and...
