Asking the questions, Jeremy Paxman.

0:00:230:00:25

Hello. Down but by no means out, yet anyway,

0:00:280:00:32

two more teams who lost their first-round matches,

0:00:320:00:35

but did so with scores equalling or exceeding

0:00:350:00:37

winning scores in other fixtures,

0:00:370:00:39

compete tonight for the last of the 16 places in the second round.

0:00:390:00:43

Now, the team from University College London

0:00:430:00:45

suffered only a very narrow defeat

0:00:450:00:47

at the hands of Trinity College, Oxford,

0:00:470:00:50

with 145-160 at the gong.

0:00:500:00:53

Strengths on that first outing included Henry I,

0:00:530:00:56

Alexander von Humboldt,

0:00:560:00:58

the Hughes Medal, and famous paintings at Holkham Hall.

0:00:580:01:01

With an average age of 22, let's meet the UCL team again.

0:01:010:01:05

Hi, I'm Tom. I'm from Whitchurch in Hampshire, and I'm studying history.

0:01:050:01:10

Hi, I'm Charlie.

0:01:100:01:12

I'm from Chelmsford and I'm studying for an MSc in neuroscience.

0:01:120:01:15

And this is their captain.

0:01:150:01:17

Hi, I'm Robert Gray, I'm from Kingston upon Thames,

0:01:170:01:19

and I'm doing a PhD in cell biology.

0:01:190:01:22

Hello, my name is Omar, I'm originally from Kabul,

0:01:220:01:25

and I study mathematics.

0:01:250:01:27

APPLAUSE

0:01:270:01:30

Now, it was also a close shave for St Hughes College, Oxford, in

0:01:300:01:33

their first-round match, and they, too, lost by a 15 point margin.

0:01:330:01:37

In their case to Emmanuel College, Cambridge.

0:01:370:01:40

Going to minus five on the first question perhaps wasn't helpful,

0:01:400:01:44

but they quickly redeemed themselves on quantum mechanics,

0:01:440:01:47

Allen Ginsberg,

0:01:470:01:48

and paintings of Westminster Bridge to have 155 points at the gong.

0:01:480:01:53

With an average age of 21, let's meet the St Hughes team again.

0:01:530:01:57

Hi, I'm Kazi Elias, I'm from Cambridge and I'm reading history.

0:01:570:02:01

Hi, I'm Euan Grainger, I'm from Shrewsbury in Shropshire,

0:02:010:02:04

0:02:040:02:06

And here's their captain.

0:02:060:02:08

Hello, I'm Daniel De Wijze, I'm from Manchester,

0:02:080:02:10

Fingers on the buzzers, here's your first starter for ten.

0:02:230:02:26

Quote, "A woman, especially if she had the misfortune of knowing

0:02:260:02:30

"anything, should conceal it as well as she can".

0:02:300:02:33

0:02:430:02:47

"Spink" and "shelled apple" are dialect names for which bird?

0:02:470:02:52

Carl Linnaeus gave it the binomial Fringilla coelebs

0:02:520:02:56

after the Latin for "bachelor", when he observed that the female

0:02:560:02:59

migrates further south in winter than the male?

0:02:590:03:02

Fringilla...

0:03:020:03:04

Maybe a tern?

0:03:050:03:07

No, tern is Sternida, its Latin name. Something else. Not sparrow.

0:03:070:03:11

Swallow? It's not swallow.

0:03:110:03:13

Just say a bird, I don't know.

0:03:150:03:17

Swallow?

0:03:170:03:18

It's the chaffinch.

0:03:180:03:20

Which bird does Bottom refer to as the "ousel cock"

0:03:200:03:22

It's also known poetically as the merle.

0:03:250:03:28

-Ousel cock could be like a peacock?

-Yes, peacock.

0:03:290:03:33

A Midsummer Night's Dream, there's a cockatoo?

0:03:330:03:35

-Cuckoo?

0:03:350:03:38

Cuckoo?

0:03:380:03:40

Cuckoo.

0:03:400:03:42

No, it's the blackbird.

0:03:420:03:43

Found in the west of mainland Britain,

0:03:430:03:46

the ring ouzel is a member of the family given what common name,

0:03:460:03:50

for which the Latin is Turdus?

0:03:500:03:52

-Oh, that's blackbirds and thrushes.

wend, shrift and petard,

0:04:050:04:08

that occur only in set phrases or idioms,

0:04:080:04:11

and are otherwise obsolete?

0:04:110:04:13

0:04:310:04:34

"Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed",

0:04:340:04:38

and "Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material"?

0:04:380:04:42

It is the only book in the Bible named after a tribe of Israel.

0:06:170:06:19

coined the term black body radiation?

0:06:190:06:23

He gives his name to various laws applying to spectroscopy,

0:06:230:06:26

radiation, thermo-chemistry, and electric circuits.

0:06:260:06:29

Black body radiation...

0:06:300:06:33

Helmholtz, could be?

0:06:360:06:38

-Yes...

-Waves...

0:06:380:06:40

Yeah, I can't think of another one.

0:06:400:06:41

Helmholtz?

0:06:410:06:43

No, it's Gustav Kirchhoff.

0:06:430:06:45

According to one of Kirchhoff's laws of spectroscopy,

0:06:450:06:48

if light with a continuous spectrum passes through

0:06:480:06:51

a cool low-density gas, what type of spectrum is produced?

0:06:510:06:55

-Discrete spectrum?

-I don't know.

0:06:570:07:00

Discrete?

0:07:000:07:01

No, it's absorption.

0:07:010:07:02

Finally, Kirchhoff's current law of electric circuits says that the

0:07:030:07:07

sum of all currents in a set of wires that meet at a point

0:07:070:07:10

should add up to what?

0:07:100:07:11

It's the set of currents that leave...

0:07:110:07:14

Or, no... It's just zero, isn't it? Zero.

0:07:150:07:18

Zero is correct.

0:07:180:07:19

We're going to take a picture round now.

0:09:440:09:46

"Economic control is not merely control of the sector

0:09:460:09:49

"of human life which can be separated from the rest,

0:09:490:09:52

"it is the control of the means for all our ends."

0:09:520:09:54

0:10:050:10:08

In 1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus described what process as a curve?

0:10:080:10:14

The US psychologist Daniel Schachter later deemed it to be an

0:10:140:10:18

essential function of human memory, allowing it to work efficiently.

0:10:180:10:22

-Learning curve?

-Yes.

0:10:220:10:24

Learning curve?

0:10:240:10:25

No, it's forgetting.

0:10:250:10:26

Schachter described the ways in which memory formation

0:10:260:10:30

and retrieval can malfunction,

0:10:300:10:32

including misattribution and bias.

0:10:320:10:34

0:11:220:11:26

and were translated into English.

0:11:260:11:28

0:11:410:11:43

I think it's Chinese because Mao called the country a paper tiger.

0:11:430:11:46

It sounds right. It sounds Chinese. Chinese.

0:11:460:11:49

Chinese is correct.

0:11:490:11:50

What language is the origin of loan translations,

0:11:500:11:53
