00:00University Challenge. Asking the questions, Amol Wrentham.
00:23Hello and welcome to University Challenge. The second round of the competition continues tonight.
00:28The two returning teams are playing for a place in the quarterfinals and if they want to progress, they must win.
00:34This round is a knockout round with no second chances on offer.
00:39This year's team from Southampton played Bath in their opening game and their winning score of 255 points was the highest of the first round.
00:47Bath started that game well, but after the first 10 minutes, they hardly got a look in.
00:50Southampton were very quick on the buzzer on subjects ranging from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to Charlie XCX
00:56and very consistent on their bonuses, converting two out of three on average
01:01and scoring full marks on Black Rivers, the city of Bia Vistoc and Dungeons and Dragons.
01:06Let's meet the team from Southampton once again.
01:08Hi, I'm Cormac Stevenson. I'm from Stratford in East London and I'm studying maths.
01:13Hello, I'm Zayn Mahmood. I'm from Skipton in North Yorkshire and I'm studying mathematics with computer science.
01:18And their captain.
01:19Hi, my name's Florence Williams. I'm originally from Essex and I'm studying medicine.
01:25Hi, I'm Ben Hermanns-Cormac from Horsham in West Sussex and I'm studying chemistry.
01:33The team from Imperial earned their place in this second round by beating SOAS in the round one repishage.
01:38They lost their first game against Churchill College Cambridge, but their score of 160 points proved high enough to secure them a second chance at qualification, which they duly took.
01:48Imperial have also had some notably quick buzzes in both their matches on the Lambda Calculus, All World's 1984 and the first president of Botswana.
01:56And against SOAS, they made particularly light work of bonus sets on Virgil's Aeneid and water polo.
02:01Let's meet the team from Imperial for the third time.
02:04Hi, I'm Raheem Dina. I'm originally from Seychelles and I'm doing a PhD in ecology and evolution.
02:10Hi, I'm Eugenia Tong. I'm from Hong Kong and I study chemistry.
02:13And their captain.
02:14Hello, I'm Oscar Flanagan. I'm from London and I'm doing a PhD in atmospheric physics.
02:19Hi, I'm Justin Koen. I'm from Hong Kong and I study computing.
02:26Welcome back, all of you. Very nice to see you.
02:28No second chances tonight, I'm afraid. If you lose, you're out.

05:47representing each of the major arcana of the tarot.
05:51Large-scale, colourful.
05:52It's not Louise Bourgeois or...
05:53No, I don't.
05:54I think she died later.
05:55There's nothing better.
05:56Well, she's alive possibly, I don't know.
05:58Louise Bourgeois.
05:58No, that's Nicky de Saint-Fal.
06:01According to de Saint-Fal, her tarot garden was inspired by Park Goel,

06:25Well done.
06:26Your bonus is Imperial.
06:29Three questions on sulphide minerals.
06:32Sudbury in Ontario is a major source of pentlandite, a sulphide of iron,
06:38and which other ferromagnetic element of which it is a primary ore?
06:41OK, other ferromagnetic...
06:42There's cobalt, there's nickel.
06:44Zinc on it?
06:44I don't know.
06:44Zinc is not ferromagnetic.
06:46It's either cobalt or nickel.
06:46So I'll just get it on the phone.
06:47Nickel.
06:49Nickel.
06:50Got it.
06:50Well done.
06:51Covalite and calcassite are sulphide ores of what metal?
06:55The latter is found at Escondida in northern Chile, the largest mine of this metal in the world.
07:01Yeah.
07:01Yeah.
07:02Copper?
07:02Yeah.
07:03Mined in central Wales and Derbyshire, among other places, the mineral galena is a sulphide of what metal?
07:09Galena is the primary ore mineral of this metal, though it may also be mined as a source of silver,
07:14which is often present in traces.
07:17Lead.
07:17Yes, it is.
07:18Let's start the question.
07:19Picture round now.
07:21And for your picture starter, you will see a piece of sheet music for piano from 1912.
07:27For ten points, name the composer.
07:30Imperial Kirk.

07:35Southampton Stephenson.
07:37Satie?
07:37It is Satie, yes.
07:38Eric Satie.
07:39Well done.
07:40Your picture starter showed the opening of Flabby Prelude for a Dog, written by Eric Satie,
07:45with its typically unusual title and performance directions.
07:48For your picture bonuses then, Southampton, you will see three more of Satie's unusual performance
07:52directions in the original French.
07:55I want you to give the sense of each in English.
07:58First from Deloterie.
07:59Something listening to teeth?
08:03What?
08:04Something with a toothache.
08:08Sounding like a king with a toothache?
08:10I don't know.
08:11It's not a king.
08:12Sounding like someone with a toothache.
08:14You're so close, but not quite close enough.
08:16Rossignol means nightingale.
08:18So I needed to hear like a nightingale with toothache.
08:21Bad luck.
08:22Next from his work, Nusien, number three.
08:25Sonneusement?
08:27I don't know.
08:28I don't know what these words mean.
08:28Concierge is like, advice.
08:33Like, go carefully or something.
08:36That's not...
08:38Go carefully.
08:38No, bad luck again.
08:40Spaniusement does mean carefully, but the verb here means either to think or consider.
08:45And finally, from La Piège de Meduse, the first part here may be translated as please behave.
08:51You need to give the sense of the last four words.
08:56Sage?
08:57What's sage?
08:58I don't know.
09:00It's like something is watching you.
09:02It's not fun.
09:04It's so long.
09:04Monkey is watching you.
09:05Yeah, a monkey is watching you.
09:07Well done.
09:08Absolutely.
09:09Let's start with a question.
09:10What place name appears in the full names of both of the following?
09:14The town where, according to the Anglo-Saxon chronicle, Athelstan and Aethelred, the Unready were crowned, and a city which Sir John Hotham refused to open to Charles I at the start of the English Civil War.
09:24In both cases, this place name is followed by the word upon and the name of rivers.
09:29The latter emptying into the Humber, the latter emptying into the...
09:31Southampton Williams.
09:32Newcastle.
09:33No, I'm afraid you lose five points.
09:35Emptying into the Humber and the former, the longest river entirely in England.
09:39Imperial O'Flanagan.
09:43Oh, Stratford.
09:44No, it was Kingston.

10:10Two questions, Hughes-Adamsen, on plays attributed to Aeschylus.
10:13Which play begins with King Aetircles beseeching Zeus to protect the city named in its title?
10:18The play centres on the rivalry between Aetircles and Polynices, the two sons of Oedipus.
10:23Is this...
10:24Seven upon Thebes, is that the title?
10:26OK, that sounds...
10:27It has a city in the title, so that sounds...
10:28Seven upon Thebes.
10:31Nominate my maid.
10:33Seven upon Thebes.
10:34I can't accept that.
10:36Seven against Thebes.

10:38In Prometheus Bound, which mortal priestess is among the characters who visit the chained Titan?
10:43The daughter of Inakus, she was transformed into a white heifer after Zeus fell in love with her.
10:49Ayo.
10:49Yes.
10:50What is the title of the final play in the trilogy known as The Oresteia?
10:53Meaning gracious or benevolent ones, it is a euphemistic name for the Erinyes or Furies.
10:58Of course it's...
11:00I was going to say, um, this is...
11:02I've read The Oresteia, um...
11:04I can't remember, sorry.
11:09Pass.
11:10It's Humanides.
