00:00Hello and welcome to University Challenge.
00:25We're now halfway through the round of 16 in this year's competition.
00:29Darwin College Cambridge, Sheffield, Imperial and Warwick have all secured their spots in the quarterfinals.
00:35And whichever team wins this match will join them.
00:37Unlike the first round, this stage of the competition is strictly single elimination.
00:41So the losing team tonight will unfortunately be going home.
00:45This year's team from Manchester looked very much in control of their opening game against New College Oxford until the final quarter,
00:51in which New College scored 90 points and Manchester lost 15.
00:54Luckily, Captain Kai was able to right the Manchester ship last minute with their 8th and 9th correct starters of the match.
01:01Manchester answered well in that game on flags, physics and Chinese history.
01:04But they did receive the joint most five-point penalties of the teams in round one, an honour they share with their opponents tonight.
01:11Let's meet the team from Manchester for the second time.
01:13Hi, I'm Ray Power. I'm from Bangkok, Thailand and I study film and English literature.
01:19Hi, my name's Kirstie Dixon. I'm from Morley Green in Cheshire and I study medicine.
01:24And their captain.
01:25Hi, I'm Kai Matrick. I'm from Foy in Cornwall and I'm studying for a PhD in AI and astrophysics.
01:30Hi, I'm Rob Faulkner. I'm from Norwich and I'm studying physics with astrophysics.
01:34The team from the LSE are here tonight, having beaten Trinity Hall Cambridge in a high-scoring and slightly hectic heat,
01:43which featured a total of eight incorrect interruptions on starters.
01:47Trinity Hall had the better of the first half of the match, but LSE were much stronger in the second,
01:51sailing through bonus sets on ancient Roman authors, Nigerian history and geography and elements in the halogen group.
01:57Like many teams in round one, however, they scored no points at all on the music round.
02:01Let's meet the team from the LSE once again.
02:04Hi, I'm Ryan Sharp. I'm from Oakville, Ontario, Canada, and I'm studying history and philosophy.
02:10Hi, I'm Cormac Byrne. I'm from Ireland and Canada and I'm doing a master's in history of international relations.
02:15And their captain.
02:16Hi, I'm Andy Huff. I'm from Houston, Texas, and I'm studying international social and public policy.
02:21Hi, I'm Catherine Tan. I'm from Lexington, Massachusetts, and I'm studying anthropology and international relations.
02:26Welcome back. Very nice to see you all again. How are you feeling? Thumbs up.
02:34Let's get going, shall we? Fingers on buzzers. This is for a place in the quarterfinal.
02:37In 2024, the M Plus Museum in Hong Kong hosted the first solo retrospective of the work of which architect who had died five years before?
02:47The exhibition highlighted works including the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong,
02:50the Museum of Islamic Art in LSE Huff.
02:54Hey.
02:55I'll take that this time because Andy was fractionally first, but in future, Cormac, please wait for your name to be called.
03:02Right, your bonuses then, LSE, are three questions on theories of intelligence.
03:06In a paper of 1904, Charles Spearman first proposed the concept of a single general intelligence factor
03:13that enters into individuals' performance on all cognitive tasks.
03:17This factor is usually known by what single letter of the alphabet?
03:20Is it G? It's either G or Q.
03:24Q? I've said G.
03:26I'm going to go G.
03:27OK, G.
03:28Correct. Which US psychologist set out his theory of multiple intelligences in the 1983 book, Frames of Mind?
03:35He identified eight separate modalities of intelligence, including musical, kinesthetic and interpersonal.
03:41Who did the test?
03:45What's the name of that test?
03:48I'm not going to come up with it.
03:50Raven, maybe.
03:51What did you say?
03:52Like, raven.
03:53Like a raven something.
03:54I'm going to go Benet, I think.
03:55Benet?
03:56No, it's Howard Gardner.
03:57In an article of 1941, the psychologist Raymond Cattell introduced two contrasting terms to denote respectively the ability to reason and manipulate new information and the ability to use skills and knowledge acquired through prior learning.
04:11The former he termed fluid intelligence.
04:13What word did he use to describe the latter?
04:16I think it's static.
04:17That would be the opposite of fluid.
04:19Sure.
04:19Static?
04:20No, it's crystallised intelligence.
04:22Bad luck.
04:23This is a quote.
04:24The guiding motto in the life of every natural philosopher should be seek simplicity and distrust it.
04:30Which English thinker wrote those words in the 1920 work?
04:34LSE Hough.
04:35I'm afraid if you buzz, you must answer straight away.
04:37I'll pass it over, you'll lose five points.
04:38The concept of nature.
04:40His other works include the 1898 Treatise on Universal Algebra and a collaboration with Bertrand Russell entitled...
04:47Manchester Manchewick.
04:48Whitehead.
04:48It was Whitehead.
04:50Your bonuses, Manchester, are on the sculptor Zurab Seretaly.
04:54Seretaly is known for his monumental works, including some of the tallest statues in the world.
04:59Among these are The Birth of the New World, a 110-metre-tall sculpture of Christopher Columbus,
05:04located in Arecibo, on which Caribbean island?
05:08Where's Arecibo?
05:10Oh, it's in Puerto Rico.
05:11It's the telescope.
05:11Puerto Rico.
05:12Yes.
05:13Consisting of 16 pillars featuring historical figures, as well as a cross of St. Nino,
05:18Seretaly's unfinished 1985 monument is known as the Chronicle of which country?
05:23The place of his birth?
05:25He sounds...
05:25That's a very Georgian-sounding name.
05:27Georgia?
05:28Yes.
05:29Originally entitled The Tear of Grief, a sculpture by Seretaly featuring a 12-metre-metal
05:34teardrop inside a torn tower, is a memorial for what event?
05:379-11.
05:38It is 9-11.
05:39Well done.
05:41Think about it as another starting question.
05:42The main part of the Cathedral of St. Dominus in Split, Croatia, was originally constructed
05:47as the mausoleum for which Roman emperor?
05:51L.A.C. Sharp.
05:52Diocletian.
05:53It is.
05:53Well done.
05:54There are three questions on books set or partly set in Vienna.
05:58Letter from an Unknown Woman is a 1922 work by which Austrian author?
06:02It tells the story of a woman's sporadic encounters in Vienna with a writer whom she loves intensely,
06:08but who barely remembers her from one meeting to the next.
06:11I'm going to nominate you.
06:12Nominate Bern?
06:13Zweig?
06:14Yes.
06:15Erika Kohut, an instructor at the prestigious Vienna Conservatory, is the central character
06:20in which 1983 novel by Elfriede Jelinek?
06:23It was adapted into a 2001 film starring Isabel Huppert as Erika.
06:28Do you know this?
06:29It's funny.
06:30There's something about funny games.
06:31These aren't like the sunrise movies or whatever.
06:35No, I don't think so.
06:36Do you have anything?
06:37Funny games.
06:38Nominate Bern?
06:39Funny games.
06:39No, it's the piano teacher.
06:41Ulrich, a mathematician who has recently returned to Vienna after time abroad, is given what sobriquet
06:46in the title of a three-volume modernist novel left unfinished on the death of its author, Robert Musil, in 1942.
06:54The Loser, maybe?
06:56Got nothing.
06:56I don't know.
06:58The Loser?
06:59The Loser?
07:00It's a wonderful book called The Man Without Qualities.
07:03Picture round now.
07:04For your picture starter, you're going to see a diagram of a chess position
07:07and a map on which is marked the location after which the position is named.
07:12For ten points, I need the name shared by both.
07:16L.C. Sharp.
07:18Budapest.
07:19Yes, well done.
07:20For your picture starter, you saw the Budapest Gambit, first played in a recorded game in Budapest in 1896.
07:27For your picture bonuses, three more diagrams of chess positions and maps showing the European locations
07:32they're named after.
07:34In each case, I need the shared name.
07:36First, this opening.
07:38We just need the location, right?
07:39Yeah.
07:40Okay, that goes something, right?
07:42The Catalan is a chess thing.
07:43Yeah.
07:43No, that...
07:45Vienna is a chess thing.
07:46It's a specific point, though.
07:48It's not just...
07:48Okay.
07:49Is there a Zaragoza or something?
07:50I think that's Zaragoza.
07:51Okay.
07:52Nominate Sharp.
07:53Zaragoza.
07:53Yes, well done.
07:55Secondly, this variation of the Sicilian defence.
07:57Oh, that's like The Hague or Rotterdam.
08:03Is there...
08:03I think Rotterdam makes more sense.
08:05Okay.
08:06Nominate Sharp.
08:07Rotterdam.
08:07That is Shevin Ingen.
08:08And lastly, this variation of the Rui Lopez.
08:13That's Riga, I think.
08:15Yeah, that's...
08:16Is that a thing?
08:17Yeah.
08:17Okay.
08:17Go Riga.
08:18Riga.
08:18Well done.
08:19It is indeed.
08:20Let's start with the question.
08:20In eukaryotic cells, origin licensing and origin firing are necessary precursors to which fundamental
08:29biological process that occurs in the S phase of the cell cycle?
08:33These steps involve the loading and activation, respectively, of DNA helicases to allow access
08:39to DNA polymerases.
08:41LSE Hough.
08:42Replication?
08:43It is indeed, yeah.
08:45The three questions for you on an anime director.
08:47The anime series Paranoia Agent, which centres on a series of apparently random assaults carried
08:52out by a young boy with a baseball bat, was created by which Japanese director?
08:56His films include Tokyo Godfathers and Millennium Actress.
09:00I don't know.
09:00I don't know.
09:00Oh.
09:03Is his name like Bon or something?
09:06Try it.
09:07Nominate Bon?
09:08Bon?
09:08No.
09:09It's Satoshi Kon.
09:10Bad luck.
09:10Loosely based on a novel by Yoshikazu Takeuchi, which 1997 film by Con centres on a J-pop idol
09:17who becomes a victim of stalking after she gives up her music career to become an actress?
09:23What's the name?
09:26Perfect Blue or something?
09:28Do you want me to go with that?
09:29Perfect Blue.
09:30Well done.
09:31Psychiatrist Atsuko Chiba is the main character of which 2006 science fiction film by Con?
09:36She heads a team experimenting with a new technology that allows them to enter their patients'
09:40dreams and explore their unconscious thoughts.
09:43Is this where Ghost in the Shell is?
09:44No, no.
09:44This is the one that Inception steals from.
09:50I forget the title.
09:51Okay.
09:53You're sorry.
09:54Ghost in the Shell.
09:55I think you are thinking of the right film.
09:56It's called Paprika.
09:58Bad luck.
09:59Let's start the question.
10:00In 1907, which playwright co-founded a theatre company called Intima Theatern, or the Intimate
10:05Theatre, based in a small performance base modelled on Max Reinhardt's Berlin Kammenspielhaus
10:10and designed to suit what he similarly called the chamber plays he was beginning to write?
10:15He wrote a number of such plays for the company, including The Pelican and The Ghost Sonata.
10:19Ibsen.
10:22No, I'm afraid you'll lose five points, but he's perhaps better known today for some of
10:25his earlier works, such as The Father and Miss Julie.
10:29Manchester Mantwick.
10:30Strindberg.
10:31It is Strindberg, yes.
10:33Two questions for you, Manchester, on blood glucose.
10:35Used to prevent hypoglycemia, what process in the body involves the synthesis of glucose
10:40from non-carbohydrate sources?
10:44Gluconeogenesis.
10:45The synthesis of glucose from non...
10:46From non...
10:47Gluconeogenesis.
10:49Er, no, I need Dixon.
10:50Gluconeogenesis?
10:51Yes.
10:52A type of gluconeogenesis, what biochemical pathway is also known as the lactic acid cycle?
10:58It is named after the husband and wife Nobel laureates Getty and Carl?
11:03Non-glucose-deriven pathway, and it's eponymous.
11:06Yeah.
11:08Do you just have any cycles that are eponymous?
11:12I'm so sorry.
11:13Sorry, pass.
11:14It's the Corey cycle.
11:15The Corey cycle and most other instances of gluconeogenesis occur in what organ of the
11:20body?
11:21Liver.
11:22Liver.
11:22Yes, it is liver.
11:23Well done.
11:24Let's start the question.
11:25For what do the letters LT stand in the abbreviations LTP and LTV, the former being an idea popularised
11:33by John Locke, which claims that land ownership is tied to those who utilise it.
11:37The latter, a claim associated with...
11:39LSE Hough.
11:40Labour theory?
11:41It is indeed.
11:42Well done.
11:43Your bonuses then, LSE, are on a member of the House of Habsburg.
11:47Who became king of the Romans in 1486 while his father Frederick III was Holy Roman Emperor,
11:52a title he would inherit himself in 1508?
11:57I...
11:58I don't know.
11:59Frederick.
12:00Okay.
12:00Joseph I, I...
12:02Anyone feel confident about Henry IV?
12:04Henry IV?
12:06No, that's Maximilian I.
12:07In 1493, Maximilian agreed the Treaty of Sonny with Charles VIII, the France, to divide the
12:13territories of the Burgundian inheritance left by which figure, who had died at the Battle
12:17of Nancy.
12:19He was the last Duke of Burgundy of the House of Valois and was the father of Maximilian's
12:24first wife, Mary.
12:26Is this Charles the Bold?
12:27That's a Burgundian.
12:29Charles the Bold?
12:29Yes, it is indeed.
12:31Maximilian arranged for the marriage of his and Mary's son, Philip the Handsome, to Joanna
12:35the Mad.
12:35This ensured the future Habsburg inheritance of which two polities that were ruled in personal
12:40union by Joanna's parents?
12:42Which two?
12:42Yeah.
12:43Hungary?
12:44No, one of La Loca is Spanish, so it's like Castile and Aragon or Leon?
12:48I think...
12:48I think Castile and Aragon, right?
12:53Okay, Castile and Aragon.
12:54Well done.
12:55It is indeed, yeah.
12:56Let's start with a question.
12:58Which strait or channel separates the islands of Oste and Navarino from Isla Grande de Tierra
13:03del Fuego?
13:04It is named after a ship that explored...
13:06Manchester Magic.
13:08Golden Hind.
13:09No, I'm afraid you'll lose five points.
13:11A ship that explored it during an expedition of 1826 to 30 and that returned there during
13:15a notable voyage of 1831 to 36 under the captaincy of Robert Fitzroy.
13:21LSE Sharp.
13:22The Beagle Channel.
13:23It is the Beagle Channel.
13:24Your bonuses, LSE, are on the use of almonds in alcoholic beverages.
13:28Translating into English as a little bitter, what name is given to the Italian liqueur originating
13:33in the region of Saronno that may be made either from almonds or from apricot or peach kernels
13:38which impart an almond-like flavour?
13:41Amaretto.
13:42Amaretto.
13:43Delicious.
13:43A common ingredient in Mai Tai cocktails, which sweet almond-derived syrup takes its name
13:48from the French word for barley?
13:49O-R-G-E.
13:53Do you want to just say that?
13:58Oh, it's like O-R-G-E-A-T.
14:00Is that a thing?
14:01Okay.
14:01I'm going to nominate you and you're going to say that.
14:03Nominate Sharp.
14:05O-R-G-E-A-T.
14:09Yes, correct.
14:09Well done.
14:10Finally, also known for its wines, which region in the south of Portugal is the origin of a
14:15notable type of bitter armoured liqueur, specific brands of which include Amarginia?
14:21Algarve.
14:21Algarve, is that what you said?
14:22Algarve, yeah.
14:23Algarve?
14:24Yes, it is indeed.
14:25Let's start the question.
14:26And a music round now.
14:27For your music starter, you're going to hear a piece of popular music.
14:29For ten points, I need you to name the artist performing.
14:36Manchester Madrid.
14:37Scott Walker.
14:38It is Scott Walker.
14:39Well done.
14:40So, you just heard Scott Walker's cover of Jackie, originally performed in French by Jacques
14:44Braille.
14:45For your music bonuses, three English language versions of pop songs originally performed
14:49in French.
14:50In each case, I need you to name the artist or group you hear performing.
14:54First, this singer.
14:54Is it Charles Aznavour?
15:06No, that's Dean Martin.
15:08Secondly, this artist.
15:09This is going to really hurt Kirstie.
15:36It's Little Peggy March.
15:38Oh.
15:38Bad luck.
15:39Lastly, this group.
15:45Sounds like a sugar baby.
15:46Yeah, I was going for it.
15:49Number eight, Falkman.
15:50Sugar babes.
15:51Don't look so embarrassed about that.
15:53It is the sugar babes.
15:55Definitely sounds like a man.
15:56Right, now let's start the question.
15:57In optics and mathematics, what seven-letter word denotes the envelope of rays reflected
16:03or refracted by a curved surface from a light source at a given point?
16:08The same word is used in chemistry to indicate that a substance is corrosive and may burn living
16:13tissue on contact.
16:14For example, in a common name for sodium hydroxide.
16:17Manchester Metroid.
16:18Caustic.
16:19It is caustic, yes.
16:20Your bonuses are on operas that feature the card game Faro.
16:25Which opera by Tchaikovsky centres on an army officer who becomes obsessed with persuading
16:29an elderly countess to reveal a secret combination of cards that once won her a fortune at Faro?
16:34It is based on a novella by Pushkin.
16:37Ace of Spades, isn't it?
16:38Or the Queen of Spades?
16:39It's Pushkin.
16:40The Queen of Spades.
16:41Queen of Spades.
16:42Yes, it is the Queen of Spades.
16:43In which opera by Massanet, based on an 18th century French novel, do the title character
16:48and her cousin persuade her lover to win money for them by playing Faro at the Hotel Transylvania?
16:54Can you name any Massanet on?
16:55No.
16:55Can you?
16:56That's the real bad.
16:57Okay, pass.
16:58No, that's Manon, based on Manon Lescaux.
17:00A group of miners play Faro in the Polka Saloon in Act 1 of La Fanciulla del West, or
17:05The Girl of the Golden West, a 1910 opera by which Italian composer?
17:09It is just Puccini, yes, go ahead.
17:15Let's start with a question.
17:16Its inhabitants addressed in the title of a letter of St Paul.
17:19What ancient city in northern Greece was the site of a victory by Octavian and Mark Antony
17:24over Brutus and Cassius that is the scene of the final act of Shakespeare's...
17:30Philipi.
17:32Yes, Philipi.
17:33Your bonuses are on a language family.
17:35Discovered in modern-day Mongolia, the Orkon inscriptions found on two large stone monuments
17:40erected in the 8th century CE are the oldest extant records of a language from what family?
17:48Sinod Tibetan?
17:50Yeah.
17:50Sinod family, yeah.
17:51Or Indi-European.
17:53Wait, what century did it say?
17:558th century?
17:56Yeah, I think.
17:58I think Sinod Tibetan.
17:59I think it's better than Indi-European.
18:00Sinod Tibetan?
18:00There's Turkic.
18:02The most aberrant of the Turkic languages, and possibly the earliest to split from the
18:06common ancestor language, what language is one of the two official languages of the Republic
18:10within the Russian Federation that borders Tatarstan to the west and whose capital is
18:14Ceboksari?
18:15Oh, I was going to say Chechen, but that's fine.
18:20I don't know.
18:22Ah, don't worry.
18:24Um, Dr. Cestani.
18:26That is Chuvash.
18:27Which extinct Turkic literary language, once widespread across Central Asia, is the ancestor
18:33of Uzbek and Uyghur?
18:35It shares its name with a subdivision of the Mongol Empire, which was named after the second
18:39son of Genghis Khan?
18:44This is going to annoy me.
18:46It's like the second son, Genghis Khan.
18:49That's like the Ilkari, I think.
18:51Come on.
18:51Ilkari.
18:52No, it's the Chagatai.
18:54Another starter question.
18:54What German word for a common animal is also a surname shared by all of the following
18:59people?
19:00Vivian, a British explorer who led the first overland crossing of Antarctica in 1958.
19:05Klaus, a physicist convicted in 1950 of being a Soviet spy in the Manhattan Project.
19:10And Lenard.
19:11Manchester Magic.
19:12Fuchs.
19:12It is indeed, Fuchs.
19:14Well worked out.
19:15Three questions for you, Manchester, with five points in it.
19:17On a constellation.
19:18Heart and soul are names given to a pair of emission nebulae in which constellation?
19:23This constellation also contains a distinctive W-shaped asterism.
19:27Cassiopeia.
19:28Yes.
19:29Cassiopeia encompasses IC10, the nearest starburst galaxy to our solar system.
19:33IC10 is specifically an example of a BCD galaxy.
19:37The letters BCD standing for what three-word term?
19:40My mind's going blank.
19:42BCD.
19:44I don't like that.
19:45That's okay.
19:46I do.
19:46I wish I could hear it.
19:48The stars.
19:49I didn't lie, to be fair.
19:51It's okay.
19:52Pass.
19:52It's blue compact dwarf.
19:55Cassiopeia also contains a supernova remnant often known by the name of which Danish astronomer
19:59who observed the supernova in 1572?
20:02Isn't it really bright?
20:03Yeah.
20:03Bright?
20:04Yes.
20:05I could write.
20:06Don't start the question.
20:07Picture round.
20:08For your picture starter, you're going to see a 20th century sculpture.
20:11For 10 points, I need you to give me its artist's name.
20:16Manchester Magic.
20:17Duchamp.
20:17Yes, indeed.
20:19For your picture starter, you saw Marcel Duchamp's Bottle Rack,
20:22one of the artworks cited by Barbara Rose in her influential essay ABC Art,
20:27as contributing to the birth of artistic minimalism.
20:29For your picture bonuses, three more artworks discussed in Rose's essay.
20:33Five points for each artist you can name.
20:35First, this painter, whom Rose identified with the search for the transcendent universal absolute.
20:42Oh, Malavich.
20:43Malavich.
20:43Yep.
20:44Secondly, this American artist who, according to Rose, showed that spontaneous splashes and
20:48drips could be manufactured.
20:49It doesn't look like Pollock, nor does it look like Twombly.
20:53No.
20:54I could guess a random guy.
20:55I don't think he's German.
20:56I think he's German.
20:57Yeah.
20:58Do you mind if I just guess a random guy?
20:59No.
20:59Hatshoffman?
21:00No, that's Rauschenberg.
21:01Oh.
21:02Lastly, this American artist whose work Rose characterises as sharp visual punning.
21:07What was the nationality?

21:14What is it?
21:16Do you have anything?
21:17Kenneth Nolan is a colour-filled guy.
21:18Yeah.

21:19All right.
21:20Kenneth Nolan?

21:34in an annual festival for research that helped revolutionise the cultivation in Japan of
21:38what edible seaweed product?

21:57list in part for its role in popularising what theory of film that focuses on the artistic
22:02role of the director?
22:04Originating in France, it was popularised in the Anglophone world by Sarris in the 1960s.

22:41Yes, five and a half minutes to go.
22:42Which ballet by Aram Kachaturian features the dance of the...

23:01or, in some cases, is exempt entirely from ownership.

23:10Nullus?
23:10Res nullus?
23:11Okay.
23:12Res nullus?
23:13I can't accept that.
23:14It's res nullius.
23:15Oh.
23:16Bad luck.
23:16Secondly, the legal category for an individual who may be killed with impunity but may not

25:02art in Manhattan's West Village, does Porter rhyme with chitneys?

25:10Um, Whitney's.
25:12Yeah.
25:12Whitney's.

25:5110 days, though she only completed a full seven days' worth.

27:35to the sides of what type of triangle?
27:37Uh...

27:43Equilateral.
27:43Yes.
27:44What term is used for a state of...
27:46And now, the Bargain Odyssey of 135 and Manchester of 160.

28:03I'm so sorry, but it means we're going to have to say goodbye to you and your wonderful...
28:06Who is that mascot?
28:08Felix the Beaver.
28:09Felix the Beaver.
28:09Well, Felix the Beaver's been great and so have you.
28:11So thank you so much.

28:13Manchester, that was a pretty animated buzzing game at the end.
28:16Once again, I next three times.
28:18Yeah, three times.
28:18Yeah, I thought you'd screwed up big time, Kai, but then you recovered with Ethiopia towards
28:22the end and nearly fell out of your chair doing so, which was a wonderful sight.
28:26We shall see you again.

28:30But until then, it is goodbye from the LSE.
28:32Goodbye.
