00:00Hello and welcome to University Challenge.
00:21Asking the questions, Amal Roger.
00:24Hello and welcome to University Challenge,
00:30where two more teams are about to face off
00:32for one of the few remaining places in the second round.
00:35A win guarantees qualification,
00:37but there may still be hope for the losing team,
00:39provided they can score at least 145 points,
00:43which would put them, for the moment, in a reperchage place.
00:47What's now Harper-Adams University was founded in 1901,
00:50following a bequest from landowner Thomas Harper-Adams
00:54for the creation of an institution
00:56that taught theoretical and practical agriculture.
00:59It's since expanded its remit to include subjects
01:01such as engineering and veterinary science.
01:03When it gained university status in 2012,
01:06it became the only university in Shropshire,
01:09and its notable alumni include the cricketer Boyd Rankin,
01:12politician Sarah Dyke,
01:14and animal behaviourist Barbara Woodhouse.
01:16Tonight marks not only Harper-Adams' first appearance on this programme,
01:19but the first appearance of any agricultural university.
01:22Let's then meet the first ever team from Harper-Adams
01:25on University Challenge.

01:54The University of Strathclyde has its origins
01:57in an endowment made by natural philosopher John Anderson
02:00in 1796 for a place of, quote,
02:02useful learning.
02:04It was designated as the UK's first technological university in 1964,
02:08at which time it was producing 10% of all students in Britain
02:12with university-level technology qualifications.
02:15Former students include John Logie Baird, Annabel Goldie,
02:18and Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Capranos.
02:21And this is Strathclyde's 12th time on University Challenge,

20:27In Molecular Biology, the more common name given to the 60s subunit of the eukaryotic ribosome.
20:33In Astronomy, the name of a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way located approximately 163,000 light-years from Earth.
20:41And in Anatomy, the organ whose sections include the...
20:46Large.
20:47It is large, yes.
20:48Well done.
20:49Three questions for you, Strathcline, on poems with similarly structured titles.
20:53The opening stanza of which 18th century poem includes the lines,
20:57The ploughman homoplods his weary way and leaves the world to darkness and to me?
21:0218th century?
21:03Is this...
21:05It appears to something like, like, Pope or...
21:09I don't know what Pope did.
21:10Is it the poet or the poem?
21:12It's the poem, isn't it?
21:13Yeah, okay.
21:14What's...
21:15No, I don't know.
21:16I don't know.
21:19Pass.
21:20Elegy written in a country churchyard by Thomas Gray.
21:22Wow.
21:23A poem by Shelley contains the lines,
21:24Alas, I have nor hope nor health, nor peace within nor calm around.
21:29Its title is,
21:30Stanzas written in dejection, near which European city?
21:36Shelley died in Rome, didn't he?
21:38Yeah.
21:39But...
21:40Is it Venice?
21:41Could be, I don't know.
21:43Do you know?
21:44No.
21:45Venice, maybe?
21:46Venice.
21:47A poem by Wordsworth includes the words,
21:49I have felt a presence that disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts.
21:53This poem's title is,
21:54Lines written a few miles above...
21:56Which ruined building?
21:57Ruined building?
21:58Is it...
21:59Is it a cathedral?
22:00Or a...
22:01Or a graveyard?
22:02A church?
22:03Perhaps a cathedral.
22:04I don't know.
22:05Come on.
22:06Do you know?
22:07No.
22:08Pass.
22:09It's Tintern Abbey.
22:10Another start of the question.
22:11Picture round now.
22:12For your picture starter, you'll see a painting,
22:13and for ten points, name the artist.
22:14Botticelli.
22:17Botticelli.
22:18It is Botticelli.
22:19Well done.
22:20For your picture starter, you saw Botticelli's depiction of the Annunciation.
22:23And for your bonuses, you're going to see three more paintings on this theme.
22:27Name the artist in each case.
22:29First, this Italian artist.
22:33Um...
22:34Looks kind of renaissance.
22:35Um...
22:37I don't know.
22:38Maybe it's, um...
22:39Um...
22:40I don't know.
22:41Tishin?
22:42No, that's by Leonardo.
22:43Secondly, this artist, also Italian.
22:45This looks quite old.
22:47Um...
22:48I'd maybe go with Tishin for this one, but...
22:50I don't know.
22:51Yeah.
22:52Only if you don't have any other ideas.
22:53I just don't know, to be honest.
22:55Come on.
22:56Tishin.
22:57No, it's Crivelli.
22:58Finally?
22:59Oh, this is like...
23:00This is like El Greco or something.
23:01It looks weird.
23:02Yeah.
23:03Yes, El Greco.
23:04Maybe.
23:05El Greco?
23:06It is El Greco.
23:07Well done.
23:08The resort town of Liszt, on the low-lying island of Silt,
23:12is the northernmost municipality in which European country?
23:17Germany.
23:18It is Germany, yes.
23:19Your bonus presents Strathclyde.
23:20Three questions on early setters of cryptic crosswords.
23:23Edward Poes Mathers, author of the puzzle book,
23:26Cain's Jawbone,
23:27and the first person to publish crosswords compiled exclusively
23:30of cryptic clues,
23:31used the name of which Dominican friar and leader
23:34of the First Spanish Inquisition as his pseudonym?
23:39Um...
23:40It's for Spanish, who was it?
23:41Is this like De La Casa?
23:42Who was the guy in there?
23:43Yeah, I would go with that.
23:44De La Casa?
23:45No, it's Torquemada.
23:46Derek Somerset McNutt,
23:48known as a cryptic setter by the pseudonym Jimenez,
23:51served as Torquemada's successor at which weekly paper,
23:55whose crosswords are today set by Jimenez's immediate successor,
23:58Azed?
24:03You got an idea?
24:06At least...
24:07Come on.
24:08No, it's The Observer.
24:09Accompanied by an article in which he praises Jimenez,
24:11who published the first-ever cryptic crossword
24:14written by an American in a 1968 issue of New York magazine.
24:19His musical, Company, would receive its Broadway premiere
24:22two years later?
24:24Yeah.
24:25American musicians?
24:26Um...
24:27I don't know.
24:28Come on.
24:29No, pass.
24:30Companies by Sondheim.
24:31Stephen Sondheim.
24:32Let's start the question.
24:33I'm looking for the name of a city here.
24:35General Moller's coining of the term,
24:37fifth column,
24:38and Dolores Ibaruri's rallying cry,
24:40not pass Iran,
24:41or they shall not pass,
24:42were both made specifically in reference to what city,
24:46capital of its country since 16...
24:48Strathclyde McHugh.
24:49Madrid.
24:50It is Madrid, yes.
24:51Your bonus is then, Strathclyde,
24:52three questions on a physicist.
24:54Which Italian-American physicist born in 1905
24:57gives his name to a chart
24:58on which the known nuclides of chemical elements
25:01are plotted
25:02and which provides a visualisation of nuclear stability?
25:05Fermi.
25:06Fermi.
25:07No, Segre.
25:08Early in his career,
25:09Segre was one of a group of young scientists
25:11known as the Via Panisperna boys,
25:13working at the University of Rome
25:14under which nuclear physicist?
25:16The group helped extend his work
25:18on using neutron bombardment
25:19to induce radioactivity.
25:25There's a nuclear physicist.
25:27Oh, I don't know.
25:29I don't think it's going to be Fermi.
25:30I don't have anything else.
25:32Come on.
25:33Fermi.
25:34Yes.
25:35In 1959, Segre shared the Nobel Prize in physics
25:37with Owen Chamberlain
25:38for producing and identifying which anti-particle
25:41composed of two up-anti-quarks
25:43and one down-anti-quark.
25:45Antiproton.
25:46Antiproton.
25:47Antiproton.
25:48Antiproton.
25:49Antiproton.
25:50Antiproton.
25:51Antiproton.
25:52Antiproton.
25:53Antiproton.
25:54Antiproton.
25:55Antiproton.
25:56Antiproton.
25:57Antiproton.
25:58Antiproton.
25:59Yes, it is antiproton.
26:01Listen carefully.
26:02Name the two chemical elements
26:04that are both found in all of the following compounds.
26:07Thiazole, pyridine, sodomide and salammoniac.
26:11They are also both present in an amino-functional group.
26:14Nitroton.
26:15It is indeed.
26:16Yes, well done.
26:17Three questions on the Lake District.
26:18Brantwood, near Coniston Water, was the home of what prominent writer and artist?
26:25In 1851, he published a pamphlet defending the Pre-Raphaelites against hostile abuse.
26:30Rossetti?
26:31Or Wordsworth?
26:32I think he's dead then.
26:33Oh, right.
26:34Maybe Rossetti?
26:35Because he's Pre-Raphaelite.
26:36Come on.
26:37Rossetti.
26:38No, it's John Ruskin.
26:39Blackwell, above Lake Windermere, was designed by Mackay Hugh Bailey Scott from 1898 in the style of what aesthetic movement inspired by Ruskin's writing and associated with William Morris?
26:51Oh, Arts and Grass.
26:52Yeah.
26:53Arts and Grass.
26:54What smaller lake shares its name with a village that is the location of Dove Cottage, where William and Dorothy Wordsworth lived from 1799?
27:01I think this is Grasmere.
27:02Number eight, Lockrey.
27:03Grasmere?
27:04It is Grasmere.
27:05Well done.
27:06Another started question.
27:07The origins of political order and the end of history and the last man are among the works of which American political theorist born in Chicago in 1952?
27:17Foukeyama.
27:18It is Francis Foukeyama, yes.
27:22Three questions on geology.
27:23In 2024, scientific findings revealed that the altar stone of Stonehenge was transported not from Wales, but from the north of Scotland, more than 700 kilometres away.
27:32It is composed of a sedimentary rock known as O-R-S.
27:37For what do these letters stand?
27:39Arkany something?
27:40Like Arkany something?
27:41Stone?
27:42Arkany?
27:43O?
27:44Like North of Scotland?
27:45Yeah.
27:46Arkany.
27:47Arkadians.
27:48Come on.
27:49And now they've gone.
27:50Half Radims have 45.
27:51A soft line of 205.
27:56Well, the answer to that last one was Old Red Sandstone.
27:59Bad luck.
28:00Arkadians.
28:01The thing that is so brutal about this game is that when they're quicker on the buzzers, you have to sit through the bonuses which you knew all the answers to.
28:06And I could see that there were so many bonus questions which you guys did know the answers to, but they were just slightly quicker on the starters.
28:11So I think in a way that score line somewhat misrepresents you.
28:13But thank you so much for coming along and playing so well.
28:15Strathclyde, that was a brilliant performance.
28:17And I know I'm not meant to pick out individuals, but I've got to say, Captain Jack Sterling, you seem to know a lot of answers.
28:21And that was really, really impressive.
28:23So very well done.
28:24We shall see you again.
28:25And I hope you could join us next time too for another first round match.
28:28But until then, it is goodbye from Harper Adams.
28:30Goodbye.
28:31Goodbye.
28:32It's goodbye from Strathclyde.
28:33Goodbye.
28:34And it's goodbye from me.
28:35Goodbye.
28:36Goodbye.
28:37Goodbye.
28:38Goodbye.
28:39Goodbye.
28:40Goodbye.
