Asking the questions, Jeremy Paxman.

0:00:210:00:24

Hello. Two more teams who've already battled hard

0:00:280:00:31

to get into this quarterfinal stage of the competition

0:00:310:00:33

now have to fight even harder to get out of it,

0:00:330:00:37

with not one but two victories required

0:00:370:00:39

before they make the sunlit uplands of the semifinals.

0:00:390:00:43

Now, the team from the University of Edinburgh

0:00:430:00:45

appear to relish a close-run thing,

0:00:450:00:47

having arrived at this stage with two wins,

0:00:470:00:49

both by the smallest of margins, five points,

0:00:490:00:52

against Ulster University in round one

0:00:520:00:54

and University College London in round two.

0:00:540:00:57

With an accumulated score of 335 and an average age of 22,

0:00:570:01:02

let's meet the Edinburgh team again.

0:01:020:01:04

Hi, I'm John, I'm from Edinburgh,

0:01:050:01:07

and I'm studying Russian and history.

0:01:070:01:10

Hi, I'm Stanley, I'm from Edinburgh,

0:01:100:01:13

and I'm studying for an MSc in speech and language processing.

0:01:130:01:16

And here's their captain.

0:01:160:01:18

Hi, I'm Innis, I'm from Glasgow, and I'm doing a PhD in chemistry.

0:01:180:01:21

Hi, I'm Philippa, I'm from Oxford and I'm studying biology.

0:01:230:01:27

APPLAUSE

0:01:270:01:29

It was also a close-run thing for the team

0:01:300:01:33

from Emmanuel College Cambridge in their first-round match

0:01:330:01:36

against St Hugh's College Oxford, which they won by 170 points to 155.

0:01:360:01:41

But Strathclyde University let them off rather more lightly,

0:01:410:01:45

with a margin of 105 points to 170.

0:01:450:01:48

Their accumulated score of 340, therefore,

0:01:480:01:51

is just five points ahead of their opponents tonight.

0:01:510:01:54

So we may be in for another close match.

0:01:540:01:57

With an average age of 19, let's meet the Emmanuel team once more.

0:01:570:02:01

Toronto, does that sound like...?

-Vancouver?

0:14:100:14:12

I don't know.

0:14:130:14:15

Try that?

0:14:150:14:17

Nominate Fraser.

0:14:170:14:18

Pff.

LAUGHTER

0:14:200:14:21

Bad luck!

0:14:210:14:22

Toronto.

0:14:220:14:24

The church of Toronto?! No, it's Philadelphia.

0:14:240:14:26

Right, we're going to take a music round now.

0:14:260:14:28

For your music starter,

0:14:280:14:30

you're going to hear an aria from an opera.

0:14:300:14:32

For ten points, just identify its composer, please.

0:14:500:14:52

Bizet.

0:15:120:15:13

No, it's Softly Awakes My Heart from Samson and Delilah

0:15:130:15:16

by Camille Saint-Saens.

0:15:160:15:18

So, music bonuses in a moment or two. Another starter question.

0:15:180:15:21

The Oyo Empire and the Aro Confederacy

0:15:210:15:25

were historical states that lay largely within the territory

0:15:250:15:28

of which present-day country?

0:15:280:15:31

The latter was defeated by Britain early in the 20th century.

0:15:310:15:34

Afghanistan.

0:15:430:15:44

No. Anyone like to buzz from Emmanuel College?

0:15:490:15:50

Right, ten points for this.

0:15:500:15:52

Listen carefully. I need a seven-letter word here.

0:15:520:15:55

In his treatise On The Equilibrium Of Planes,

0:15:550:15:58

Archimedes outlined the importance of what mechanical component,

0:15:580:16:02

the support or pivot of a lever?

0:16:020:16:05

-Fulcrum.

-Fulcrum is correct, yes.

0:16:050:16:07

APPLAUSE

0:16:070:16:09

So, you'll be thrilled to hear you get the music bonuses.

0:16:110:16:14

We heard Saint-Saens earlier as a starter.

0:16:140:16:17

That piece was written for the mezzo-soprano Pauline Viardot.

0:16:170:16:21

As a performer, teacher, composer and leader of a Paris salon,

0:16:210:16:24

she was an important influence on many now better-known composers.

0:16:240:16:28

Firstly, for five, can you give me the composer of this work?

0:16:280:16:32

Viardot gave its premiere in 1870.

0:16:320:16:34

OPERA MUSIC PLAYS

0:16:370:16:41

It sounds a bit like Wagner, if you ask me, but...

0:16:460:16:49

What's the name of the work?

0:16:490:16:50

I do not know.

0:16:500:16:52

-The name of the work?

-Is it the opera or just...?

0:16:520:16:55

-What were we asked for?

-The composer.

0:16:550:16:57

Just the composer.

0:16:570:16:59

Is it Wagner?

0:16:590:17:00

No, it's Brahms, his Alto Rhapsody.

0:17:000:17:02

Secondly, I want the composer of this work,

0:17:020:17:04

one of several he dedicated to Viardot.

And finally, here, I want the name of this operatic role,

0:17:310:17:35

rewritten in French for Viardot by Hector Berlioz.

That would be in French in the first place, wouldn't it?

0:18:000:18:03

Oh, yeah, true, so it can't be that.

0:18:030:18:05

-Does anyone have any thoughts?

-No, sorry.

0:18:120:18:15

between titanium and chromium in the periodic table? The...

0:18:150:18:18

V-A-N.

0:18:180:18:20

V-A-N is correct, yes.

0:18:200:18:22

APPLAUSE

0:18:220:18:25

You get a set of bonuses on the playwright, Laura Wade.

0:18:250:18:28

Wade is perhaps best known as the author of which play,

0:18:280:18:31

first staged at the Royal Court Theatre in 2010

0:18:310:18:34

and later adapted as the film The Riot Club?

0:18:340:18:38

It concerns a privileged Oxbridge club similar to the Bullingdon.

0:18:380:18:41

-Posh.

-Posh is correct.

0:18:410:18:44

In 2003, Wade adapted for the stage Young Emma,

0:18:440:18:47

a memoir by which Welsh author

0:18:470:18:50

whose other works include The Autobiography Of A Super-Tramp?

0:18:500:18:54

-Don't know.

-No.

-No.

Dylan Thomas.

0:18:590:19:01

No, it's WH Davies.

0:19:010:19:02

In 2015, which novel did Wade adapt for the stage?

0:19:020:19:05

The debut novel of Sarah Waters, it follows the lives

0:19:050:19:08

of the musical performers Kitty Butler and Nan King.

0:19:080:19:11

I don't know.

0:19:140:19:15

Sarah Waters... Is she not...?

0:19:150:19:18

She wrote Instance Of The Fingerpost, I think,

0:19:180:19:20

-but I don't think it's that.

-Sarah Waters?

-I don't know.

0:19:200:19:23

0:19:230:19:24

It's Tipping The Velvet. Ten points for this.

With about 30,000 species,

0:19:270:19:29

teleost are a diverse infraclass of what general type of vertebrate,

0:19:290:19:34

distinguished by having...?

0:19:340:19:36

Fish.

0:19:360:19:37

Fish is correct, yes. APPLAUSE

0:19:370:19:39

Your bonuses are on Chaim Weizmann,

0:19:390:19:41

the first president of Israel and a noted chemist.

0:19:410:19:44

Weizmann was born in the Russian Empire in 1874,

0:19:440:19:48

not far from the city of Pinsk.

0:19:480:19:50

In what present-day country is Pinsk?

0:19:500:19:53

Do you have any idea?

0:19:530:19:55

I THINK it's in Belarus.

0:19:550:19:56

We'll just try that. Belarus.

0:19:560:19:58

-Correct.

-Well done.

0:19:580:20:00

In 1915 in Manchester, Weizmann developed a process

0:20:000:20:02

known as ABE fermentation for use in the manufacture of munitions.

0:20:020:20:08

For what common solvent does the letter A stand in this case?

0:20:080:20:12

-Yeah, that's an idea.

-Yeah.

0:20:120:20:14

Alcohol.

0:20:140:20:16

-No, it's acetone.

-Oh.

-Sorry.

-Don't worry.

0:20:160:20:18

And, finally, a shortage of grain for acetone production

0:20:180:20:21

led to an exploration of other sources.

0:20:210:20:24

This included organised collections, for example, by Boy Scouts,

0:20:240:20:27

of what nut-like seeds, which are inedible, usually, to humans?

0:20:270:20:31

Could it be beech nuts?

0:20:330:20:35

Maybe. I don't have anything else to suggest. Anyone...? No?

0:20:350:20:38

Beech nuts.

0:20:380:20:39

No, they're conkers, or horse chestnuts.

0:20:390:20:41

Beech nuts are definitely edible. Ten points for this.

0:20:410:20:44

Which French sociologist introduced the term anomie

0:20:440:20:47

to describe that condition in which norms for conduct are

0:20:470:20:51

either absent, weak or conflicting

0:20:510:20:53

in his ground-breaking study in 1897, Suicide?

0:20:530:20:57

..human prehistory.

0:21:030:21:04

0:21:040:21:07

early remains of Homo sapiens were discovered in 1967

0:21:070:21:10

in the Omo River Valley in which east African country?

0:21:100:21:14

-That's in Ethiopia.

-Ethiopia.

0:21:140:21:15

-Correct.

-Well done.

0:21:150:21:17

Described as being among the oldest anatomically-modern humans in Africa,

0:21:170:21:21

other early remains have been unearthed at Jebel Irhoud

0:21:210:21:25

in which Mediterranean country?

0:21:250:21:27

I don't know that at all.

0:21:280:21:30

Turkey?

0:21:300:21:31

No, I think it's...Israel.

0:21:320:21:34

-I'm happy with that.

-I don't know.

-I'm not really sure, but...

0:21:350:21:37

-Israel.

-No, it's Morocco.

0:21:370:21:40

The cave paintings at Lascaux in southern France

0:21:400:21:42

are estimated by radiocarbon dating to be how old?

0:21:420:21:46

You can have 2,000 years either way.

0:21:460:21:48

-Not the faintest idea. Sorry.

-I wouldn't know where to start.

0:21:480:21:51

Maybe 40,000?

0:21:530:21:54

40,000. Is that what we're saying?

0:21:540:21:56

-40,000.

-No, it's 17,000.

-OK.

0:21:560:21:59

Right, we're going to take a second picture round.

0:21:590:22:01

No. Anyone like to buzz from Emmanuel?

0:22:100:22:14

Is it Moliere?

0:22:140:22:15

No, it's not. It's Jonathan Swift.

0:22:150:22:18

So we'll take the picture bonuses in a moment or two.

0:22:180:22:21

Ten points at stake for this.

0:22:210:22:22

Who was proclaimed King of England during his return journey

0:22:220:22:26

from the Ninth Crusade? Having visited his lands in France,

0:22:260:22:30

he landed in England almost two years later,

0:22:300:22:33

his coronation taking place in August 1274.

0:22:330:22:36

-Edward I.

-Correct.

0:22:380:22:40

APPLAUSE

0:22:400:22:42

You get the picture bonuses. In 1973,

0:22:420:22:44

the International Astronomical Union named a crater on Deimos

0:22:440:22:48

after Jonathan Swift, who was the geezer you failed to identify.

0:22:480:22:51

He speculated in Gulliver's Travels that Mars had two small satellites.

0:22:510:22:55

Your picture bonuses are three more writers who have had Martian craters

0:22:550:22:59

named after them in recognition of their speculative fiction.

0:22:590:23:03

Firstly, for five, who's this?

0:23:030:23:05

-Asimov, maybe?

-Yeah.

0:23:060:23:09

-Asimov?

-Asimov is correct.

0:23:090:23:11

The Martian Way is an early example of a terraforming story set on Mars.

0:23:110:23:15

Secondly...

0:23:150:23:17

Truman Capote?

0:23:200:23:21

-Did he do speculative fiction?

-I don't know. Just...

-Not sure.

0:23:210:23:26

Truman Capote?

0:23:260:23:28

Truman Capote?! No. SCATTERED LAUGHTER

0:23:280:23:30

It's Edgar Rice Burroughs,

0:23:300:23:31

who wrote a series of novels centring on a Martian adventurer.

0:23:310:23:34

And, finally...

0:23:340:23:35

That looks like Kafka, doesn't it?

0:23:370:23:39

But it's not...

0:23:390:23:40

-Shall we say Kafka?

-No.

-It's not Kafka.

0:23:400:23:43

Who is it, then?

0:23:430:23:44

Kafka.

0:23:460:23:48

Doesn't look at all like him.

0:23:490:23:50

-No, it's HG Wells.

-Oh.

0:23:500:23:52

Of course, Mars was the source of the invasion

0:23:520:23:55

in The War Of The Worlds.

0:23:550:23:56

Right, we're going to take another starter question now.

Rene Antoine de Reaumur explained how different alloys of what metal

0:23:580:24:03

Founded in 1409, its noted other alumni include

0:24:200:24:24

Leibniz, Goethe and Wagner.

0:24:240:24:26

What was the one that's near to Berlin?

0:24:260:24:29

-Um...

-I've got a friend that's...

-Potsdam? Is it Potsdam?

0:24:310:24:34

-Do we have any idea?

-I can't remember.

Potsdam.

0:24:370:24:39

No, it's Leipzig.

0:24:390:24:40

In 2000, Merkel became the first woman

0:24:400:24:43

and the first non-Catholic to lead which political party?

0:24:430:24:46

I need the three-word name, either in English or German.

0:24:460:24:51

Christian Democratic Union.

0:24:510:24:52

Correct.

0:24:520:24:54

In 2013, Merkel became the third three-time Chancellor

0:24:540:24:57

of post-war Germany.

0:24:570:24:59

Give the surnames of both the other two.

0:24:590:25:01

I'm not much help here, I'm afraid.

0:25:020:25:04

Helmut Kohl was one.

0:25:040:25:08

Helmut Kohl and...

-And Kohl.

-OK.

0:25:100:25:13

Which carnivorous dinosaur has a name meaning "other lizard"

0:26:040:26:08

or "different lizard"?

0:26:100:26:13

-Allosaurus.

-Yeah, go with that.

0:27:030:27:08

-Is that not Germany?

-Germany... Weimar?

-I'm not sure.

0:27:080:27:11

It could either be the Weimar Republic,
