0:04:10 > 0:04:12It's the name I was looking for, what they all have in common,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15cos they've obviously got different forenames, you see. Exactly!
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Very good. Right, you get the first set of bonuses, Sussex.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40French Revolutionary...?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Oh, it's not a British newspaper?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46What do you think? What do you think?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Sunday Times? It's my best guess.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Sunday Times.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55No, no, that's much more recent. It's the Observer.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12Correct. Which newspaper began as the Daily Universal Register in 1785
0:05:12 > 0:05:15but was renamed three years later?
0:05:15 > 0:05:20It didn't start permanently printing news on its front page until 1966.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I think it's the Times. The Times?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Yeah? With the thing, the news on the front page.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30They used to have classified ads on the front. They did, didn't they? OK.

0:06:27 > 0:06:32the 1958 work Vanessa was the first opera by which US composer?

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Is it John Cage?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I don't know, this would be a guess. OK.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43John Cage?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45No, it was Samuel Barber.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47And finally, which opera of 1896

0:07:10 > 0:07:13greengrocers that the most space-economical arrangement
0:07:13 > 0:07:18of identical spheres is either hexagonal or cubic close packing?

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Er, Johannes Kepler.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Correct.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28APPLAUSE
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Leicester, your bonuses are on the science of throwing snowballs.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Firstly, for five, what is the optimum angle relative to the ground
0:07:35 > 0:07:37at which to throw a snowball
0:07:37 > 0:07:40to maximise its horizontal distance travel
0:07:40 > 0:07:42for a given velocity, assuming no air resistance?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:07:46 > 0:07:48BELL RINGS
0:07:48 > 0:07:52You don't need to buzz, you can confer. Oh, right!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Yeah, 45 degrees. 45, I think. 45 degrees.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Correct. If the snowball's initial vertical velocity at ground height
0:07:58 > 0:07:59is 15 metres per second,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02and the acceleration due to gravity, G,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04is 10 metres per second per second,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07for how many seconds is the snowball in the air?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09THEY LAUGH
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Jeremy, naughty!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16No, you're the naughty one, you're not answering. Come along.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18It's less than that.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I'd say six. Six? You're going for six.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24All right, we're going for six.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Some snowball. No, it's three seconds.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29In the same circumstances, if the snowball has been
0:08:29 > 0:08:34thrown at a 45-degree angle, what is the horizontal distance travelled?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Depends how hard, depends how hard you throw it.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I've just given you all the information.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47I've told you the angle it's going at, how long it's in the air.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Come on, how far does it go? I'll go for three metres.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Three metres?! Sorry.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54LAUGHTER
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Unbelievable! If it's going 10 metres per second, erm...
0:08:57 > 0:09:02Three seconds. So, it's 30 metres. 30 metres? It seems too obvious.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04It's going that way, so it's going...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Oh, it's 45 degrees. Oh, right, so...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09So, that's... 20. 20. All right.
0:09:09 > 0:09:1220 metres. No, it's 45 metres.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Wrong angle.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Very impressive snowball, Jeremy.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19More impressive than your maths, anyway!
0:09:19 > 0:09:20We're going to take a picture round now.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22For your picture starter you're going to see
0:09:22 > 0:09:25the title of a well-known fairytale in its original language.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27For 10 points, please give me

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Come along, Sussex, one of you buzz. You may not confer.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31One of you, no, you may not, don't you understand English?!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33You can't confer, just buzz!
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Buzz, buzz. No, cos I don't know. Can't confer.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05the so-called "hippie era" of the 1960s.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06BELL RINGS
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Patchouli oil. Yes.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10APPLAUSE

0:11:20 > 0:11:21In each case, for five points,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I want the title as it's usually given in English.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Firstly for five.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29The little...
