00:00Hello and welcome to University Challenge where we're still in the round of 16.
00:27For tonight's teams this will be their second match in this year's competition and what's at stake is a place in the quarterfinals.
00:33The winners of this game will be the sixth team through to the next round.
00:36The losers will be the 18th team to be eliminated.
00:39The team from Trinity College Cambridge qualified for this second round by beating Lydeca College Oxford.
00:44Trinity made a very strong start to that game taking the first five starters and all but two of the bonuses that followed.
00:50And though the rest of the match was a much more even contest that early lead ultimately proved insurmountable.
00:55So far Trinity have demonstrated particularly impressive knowledge of pop music, modern theatre and synthetic diamonds.
01:01And the only bonus set they've really struggled with was about evolutionary biology.
01:05Let's meet the Trinity team for the second time.
01:08Hi, I'm Piers Marchant. I'm from Sunbury on Thames and I'm studying history.
01:12Hello, my name is Alessandro Lasnazio. I'm from London and I'm studying physics.
01:16And their captain.
01:17Hi, I'm Yusuf Khand. I'm from Liverpool and I'm studying physics.
01:21Hi, I'm Lily Carney. I'm from Backwell near Bristol and I'm studying for Masters in Systems Biology.
01:27APPLAUSE
01:31They're facing this year's team from Edinburgh, who won their first round heat against Newcastle by 200 points to 105.
01:37Edinburgh in that match were just a bit too quick on the buzzer for their Northeastern rivals,
01:41making a number of very well-judged interruptions on questions about Brazilian music.
01:46Weaving terms, pistachio nuts and the Marquis de Sade.
01:49They did, however, only convert around half the bonuses they won.
01:52They made short work of sets on Japanese food and Russian flags,
01:56but dropped a lot of points on architecture and mathematics.
01:59Let's meet the team from Edinburgh once again.
02:02Hi, I'm Parthav Ishwar. I'm from Portland, Oregon in the US
02:05and I'm studying for a Masters in Sustainable Lands and Cities.
02:08Hi, I'm Johnny Richards. I'm from Los Angeles, California, and I'm doing a PhD on Ancient DNA.
02:13And their captain.
02:14Hi, I'm Alice Leonard. I'm from Portsmouth and I'm studying for a Masters
02:18in Environment, Culture and Society.
02:20Hi, I'm Rehan Amjad. I'm from Dublin and Glasgow and I'm studying for a PhD in Computer Science.
02:29Welcome back to all of you. Very nice to see you all.
02:32Best of luck. Fingers on buzzers. Here's your first starter for ten.
02:36What eight-letter word links all of the following?
02:39The name of a trilogy of influential radio documentaries comprising
02:43The Idea of the North, The Latecomers and The Quiet in the Land,
02:46made for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation by the classical pianist Glenn Gould.
02:50The name of the home ground of the oldest association football club
02:53in the whole of Ireland, Cliftonville.
02:55The name of the polar fortress that serves as Superman's base.
02:59Edinburgh and jazz.
03:01Solitude.
03:02It is solitude. Well done.
03:04Your bonus is Edinburgh on plays about a literary figure.
03:07First performed in 2000, Neil Bartlett's play In Extremis centres on which writers reported
03:13visit to a palm reader on the night of the 24th of March, 1895, to seek advice about
03:18the likely outcome of an upcoming libel suit.
03:21Oscar Wilde.
03:22It's giving Wilde.
03:23Yeah.
03:24Wilde.
03:25It's got to be Oscar Wilde.
03:26Subtitled The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde, what is the title of Marseille Kauffman's
03:301997 play about Wilde's arrest and imprisonment?
03:33It takes his two-word title from the specific crime with which Wilde was charged in 1895.
03:38I agree with that.
03:40Gross Indecency.
03:41Yes.
03:42The 1998 play The Judas Kiss, concerning Wilde's relationship with Alfred Douglas, was written
03:46by which British playwright whose other works include the 1978 play Plenty and 2022's Straight
03:52Line Crazy?
03:53Do you have a good guess?
03:55Just any British playwright recently?
03:57That's not Tom Stoppard.
03:58No, it's not.
03:59Just go with it if you don't have anything.
04:00Stoppard?
04:01It's not Stoppard, no.
04:02It's David Hare.
04:03Another solid question.
04:04What nationality are all of the following golfers?
04:07A debutant at the 2023 Ryder Cup who became the first player to be selected without playing
04:12in a major championship.
04:13The man who defeated Phil Mickelson at Royal Troon in the 2016 Open.
04:18And the most successful European ever on the LPGA, Annika Sorenstan.
04:24Danish?
04:25No.
04:28Swedish.
04:29It is Swedish.
04:30Yes, well done.
04:32Three questions for you, Trinity, on metals.
04:34In material science, what ten-letter term is used to denote a small group of metals
04:39with exceptionally high resistance to heat and wear that includes tungsten and tantalum?
04:44In physiology, the word designates a period of reduced responsiveness.
04:50Unconscious?
04:51No.
04:52Unconscious?
04:54Anything?
04:55Impervious?
04:56Impervious?
04:58That's probably the best we've got.
04:59Impervious?
05:00No, it's refractory.
05:01Located above tungsten in the periodic table, which refractory metal is the base of the alloy TZM,
05:06in which it is combined with titanium and zirconium?
05:11This metal is also often added to stainless steel to increase corrosion resistance.
05:16Molybdenum?
05:17Sounds right.
05:18Molybdenum.
05:19Used in rocket engine nozzles because of its high heat resistance, C103 is an alloy of hafnium and which refractory metal,
05:28with very similar chemical and physical properties to tantalum?
05:32Niobium.
05:34Niobium.
05:35Yes, well done.
05:36Let's start the question.
05:37What is the last word in the title of a work of political philosophy first published in 1689 that consists of two parts,
05:44the first replying to Robert Filmer's patriarchy and the second declaring that the purpose of law is to preserve and enlarge freedom?
05:52The work is the principal political work of the philosopher John Locke and the word in question follows two treatises on what?
06:00Government.
06:01It is, of course, government, yes.
06:03Quick questions for you, Trinity, on Japanese folklore.
06:06Written with two kanji, meaning strange and mysterious, what word is used in Japanese folklore as an umbrella term for minor supernatural entities such as Yuki Onna,
06:15a ghostly woman seen on snowy nights, and Tofu Kozo, a spirit that appears as a boy carrying tofu?
06:21Shinigami.
06:22Shinigami.
06:23Any other?
06:24What do they call, like, the Godzilla movies?
06:26It's like...
06:27I'm not...
06:28I don't think it is.
06:29I can't.
06:30No, go with me.
06:31Any ideas?
06:33Shinigami.
06:34No, they're called yokai.
06:35What short word specifically denotes a type of demonic, ogre-like creature in Japanese folklore,
06:40such as the one who swallows the title character in the folk tale Issunboshi?
06:44They are typically depicted as muscular giants with red or blue skin and horns.
06:49Any...
06:51Anything at all?
06:53No.
06:54No.
06:55Pass.
06:56What general Japanese term for a ghost or spirit, often used to mean a vengeful spirit specifically, appears in the title of a 1997 animated film by Hayo Miyazaki?
07:05Um...
07:06This is a more ghibli film.
07:08No.
07:09It's a copy of Mononoke.
07:10No.
07:11That's a princess Mononoke.
07:12Yeah.
07:13Was that Totoro?
07:14Um...
07:15Um...
07:16Um...
07:17Um...
07:18Um...
07:19Go Totoro.
07:20Totoro?
07:21Bad luck.
07:22It was Mononoke.
07:23Oh, sorry.
07:24Picture round now.
07:25For your picture starter, you're going to see a map with a city marked on it.
07:28For ten points, please name the city.
07:30BUZZER
07:32Trinity Marchant.
07:33Montreal.
07:34It is Montreal, yes.
07:35APPLAUSE
07:37For your picture starter, you saw the Canadian city of Montreal, which lends its name to the 1987 agreement intended to protect the ozone layer.
07:44For your picture bonuses, I want you to identify three more cities which lend their name to international environmental agreements.
07:51First, this city with a population of around 320,000, it gives its name to a 1979 agreement protecting migratory species.
08:01Um...
08:02So that's in North Rhine, Westphalia.
08:04Cologne.
08:05Dusseldorf?
08:06Wait, no, Cologne's bigger than that.
08:08Um...
08:09Where's Trier?
08:10Bon, maybe?
08:11Bon works, yeah.
08:12Bon.
08:13Yes.
08:14Secondly, this city which names a 1971 convention on the preservation of wetlands.
08:18Um...
08:19Tehran.
08:20Tehran.
08:21Is Tehran that far north?
08:22It's not.
08:23Tehran is on...
08:24Is Tehran on the cast emissions?
08:26I mean, I don't see what else it would be.
08:28Yeah, anything for the...
08:29Yeah?
08:30Tehran.
08:31No, that's Ramsar.
08:32And lastly, this city which lends its name to the 1997 international protocol intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

08:40Kyoto.
08:41Of course, yes.

09:00Trinitikarni.
09:01Actins.
09:02I'm afraid you lose five points.
09:03Towards the minus end, as opposed to the plus end directed kynosins.
09:11Myosins.
09:12No, it's dynines.
09:13Let's start the question.

10:21Fragonard.
10:22Yes.
10:23What is the title of the 2022 film by Hogg, in which Tilda Swinton plays both a middle-aged filmmaker and her elderly mother,
10:29who are staying in a mysterious, almost empty country hotel?
10:32I feel like I've heard of this. I don't know which is the past.
10:35I can't give a name.
10:36Yeah.
10:37Pass.
10:38It's the eternal daughter.
10:39Let's start a question.
10:40Released in 2023, the BAFTA-winning video game Chia, that's T-C-H-I-A, is set on a fictional Pacific archipelago,
10:49directly inspired by which non-self-governing territory where the game's creators Phil Crifo and Thierry Bura grew up?
10:57BELL RINGS
10:58New Caledonia.
10:59Well done.
11:00It is indeed.
11:01Your bonuses, Trinity, are questions on Portuguese India.
11:04The state of Portuguese India began with the 1510 conquest of Goa led by which explorer?
11:10His shipwreck, Flor de la Mar, is believed to contain a vast treasure.
11:14Vasco da Gama.

11:36Charlotte.
11:37Yeah.
11:38Charlotte?
11:39No, it's Catherine of Proganza.
11:41Oh.
11:42Yeah.

11:55That's what I was thinking.
11:56That's what I was thinking, yeah.
11:57Vintaloo.
11:58It is indeed, yeah.
11:59Let's start a question.
12:00In 1897, the artist Camille Pissarro painted 14 views of which of Paris' Grand Boulevard,
12:06showing it in different weather conditions and at different times of day.
12:10The boulevard is named after?
12:12Trinity Camp.
12:13Mont Poisson.
12:14No, I'm afraid you lose five points, but it's not located in a region of the city that
12:18includes the Bateau Lavoie, a building used as a studio by artists including Picasso and
12:23Modigliani, the Moulin de la Galette and the Sacre Coeur Basilica.
12:27Edinburgh Richards.
12:29Montmartre.
12:30It is indeed.
12:31Well done.
12:32The focus of Edinburgh with five points in it are on artistic depictions of Alexander
12:37the Great.
12:38Alexander is depicted as a lance wielding knight in Albrecht Altdorfer's depiction of the
12:43Battle of Issus, the first of the two fought between Alexander and which figure who is shown
12:48fleeing in a golden chariot.
12:50Darius.
12:51Darius.
12:52Yeah, Darius.
12:53Darius.
12:54I need more than that.
12:55The Great.
12:56Darius the Great.
12:57No, Darius the Great was Darius the first and we need Darius the third.
13:00Bad luck.
13:01The Battles of Alexander were part of a series of tapestries designed for the Palace of Versailles
13:07by which artist responsible for its decorative schema and court painter to Louis the 14th from 1664?
13:13I know this.
13:14I know this.
13:15I know this.
13:16I know this.
13:17I don't know.
13:18Just...
13:19Anything.
13:20Let's keep moving.
13:21Pass.
13:22Charles Le Brun.
13:23A mosaic depicting Alexander at the Battle of Issus was discovered in the house of the
13:27Thorn in the ruins of which ancient city?
13:30Is it Pompeii?
13:31Yeah.
13:32Yeah, sure.
13:33Pompeii.
13:34Yes, it is.
13:35Well done.
13:36Let's start the question.
13:37The historic centre of which major city with an estimated population of 1.5 million lies principally
13:41on a Coraline Island in the Indian Ocean that is separated from its country's mainland by
13:46Tudor Creek and Kilindini Harbour.
13:48It is...
13:50Zanzibar.
13:51No, I'm afraid you'll lose five points.
13:52It is the chief port and second largest city in Kenya.
13:58Trinity Marchant.
13:59Mombasa.
14:00It is Mombasa, yes.
14:02Three questions on the development of nanotechnology for you, Trinity.
14:05The 1959 lecture, there's plenty of room at the bottom, concerning the physics of nanoscale
14:10motors and writing the Encyclopedia Britannica on a pinhead, was given by which Nobel winning
14:15physicist and developer of quantum electrodynamics?
14:17Richard Feynman.
14:18Feynman.
14:19Feynman.

14:26for their work on which zero-dimensional semiconductor particles with unusual optical and electronic
14:32properties arising from quantum confinement?
14:35It isn't two bells there, is it?
14:38That was the year before.
14:41Any ideas?
14:42It's really original.
14:45Quantum Dots.
14:46Yes, that's true.
14:47Quantum Dots.
14:48It is Quantum Dots.
14:49Well done.
14:50Coined by K. Eric Drexler in the 1986 book, Engines of Creation, what short alliterative term
14:55describes a potential future catastrophe where self-replicating nanobots consume all the biomass
15:01on the planet?
15:02Grey Goo.
15:03Grey Goo.
15:04Well done.
15:05That's my question.
15:06Music round now.
15:07For your music starter, you're going to hear a piece of classical music.
15:10For ten points, I need you to name the composer.
15:31Handle?
15:32No, you can hear a bit more Edinburgh, but not that much.
15:38Edinburgh Richards.
15:39Talamon?
15:40No, it's Bach.
15:41We'll take your music bonuses when we get the next starter right.
15:44The biologist, Svante Perbo, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize.
15:49Trinity Cant.
15:50Circadian rhythm?
15:51I'm afraid you lose five points.
15:52I'm afraid you lose five points.
15:53In physiology or medicine, has pioneered what specific scientific discipline which may be defined as the study of the DNA of ancient and extinct species?
16:02Edinburgh Richards.
16:03Palaeogenomics.
16:04It is indeed.
16:05Well done.
16:06For your music starter, a moment ago you heard a piece from Bach's A Musical Offering, one of the 33 tracks selected by Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto to be played at his funeral in 2023.
16:18For your music bonuses, you're going to hear three more pieces played at Sakamoto's funeral.
16:22First, I want you to name the pianist and leader of this jazz trio.
16:27It's true.
16:28It could be Bill Evans.
16:29It's good.
16:30It's not like super dance style.
16:31It's quite the idea.
16:32Yeah.
16:33I mean, we should go with it.
16:34Bill Evans.
16:35Say that again.
16:36Bill Evans.
16:37Yes.
16:38Well done.
16:39Secondly, name this singer with whom Sakamoto collaborated on several projects in the 1980s.
16:48He did a lot of rock with David Sylvian.
16:53Oh, he did a lot of rock with David Sylvian.
16:56I don't think this is about me either.
16:57No, it's not.
16:58Does it sound like an art to you?
17:00No, just...
17:01Nominate Amjad.
17:02David Sylvian?
17:03Well done.
17:04Lastly, I want the composer of this piece arranged for orchestra.
17:10Oh, it's...
17:11No.
17:12No, it's Sati.
17:13It's Sati.
17:14Sati.
17:15It is, of course, Eric Sati, yes.
17:17Scores level.
17:18About which English poet, active largely in the 17th century, did critic John Kerry say the
17:23following in a major biography.
17:25If there is a single essential quality which makes him him, it is his passion for fusion
17:30or interpenetration.
17:31The impulse to bind opposites can be seen either in...
17:34And it were Richards.
17:35Done.
17:36It is John done, yes.
17:38Three questions on a writer.
17:40Born in Guangzhou in 1996, which author's works include the Poppy War trilogy of fantasy books,
17:46which, according to her, explore the question, what if Mao Zedong had been a teenage girl?
17:51What was the year?
17:52Born in Guangzhou, 1980.
17:54Is it RF Kuang?
17:55I like that.
17:56Yeah?
17:57Yeah.
17:58RF Kuang.
17:59In 2023, it was revealed that Kuang's novel, Babel, was among several works explicitly excluded
18:04from consideration at which major science fiction literature awards, which that year were held in
18:09China.
18:10These awards are named after the founder of Amazing Stories magazine.
18:13I think probably the Hugos.
18:14Yeah.
18:15The Hugos.
18:16Correct.
18:17Yes.
18:18Yellow face.
18:19Correct.
18:20Let's start the question.
18:21What word for an item of clothing follows red in the name of a radical women's liberation
18:38group founded in New York in 1969 by Ellen Willis and Shulamith Firestone?
18:44They coined the name by analogy with that of an 18th century women's social and educational
18:49movement whose leading figures included Elizabeth Montague and Elizabeth...
18:53Edinburgh Richards.
18:54Starkings.
18:55Correct.
18:56Well done.
18:57Your bonus in Edinburgh are three questions on philosophy.
18:59What term is used in moral philosophy for theories which state that outcomes determine
19:03normative properties?
19:04It is often contrasted with deontology.
19:06Consequentialism.
19:07It is.
19:08Which philosopher, the author of the 1957 work Intention, coined the term consequentialism
19:13to criticise such moral theories.
19:15Its most notable use being in her 1958 paper, Modern Moral Philosophy.
19:20Is that the foot?
19:21Yeah.
19:22Go with it.
19:23Foot.
19:24Oh, it's Anscombe.
19:25Anscombe was a student of which Austrian philosopher she would go on to translate many
19:28of his works into English including philosophical investigations?

20:58concerning the use of socialist art in Western society.
21:01For your picture bonuses, three more works discussed in Werkmeister's book.
21:05First, I need the name of the artist of this painting, which Werkmeister describes as
21:09a composite pictorial and literary icon for left-wing intellectuals with uncertain political aspirations.

21:19No, it's Paul Clay.
21:20Second, I need the name of this Italian film, described by Werkmeister as casting modern art's

24:47Oh, I don't know.
24:48I mean like...
24:49I was going to say modernism but I don't know.

25:22Let's start the question.
25:23I need two short words here.

25:30Well done.
25:31Your bonuses, then, are on vegetables mentioned in Maya Angelou's poem The Health Food Diner,
25:36which extols traditional high-calorie dishes.
25:38In each case, identify the food from the description.
25:41Among things that are, quote, sure to make me run, Maya Angelou lists no smoking signs,
25:45raw mustard greens, and what summer squash by the ton?

27:03In order to lure Iphigenia to Aulis, Agamemnon arranges a fake marriage for her to whom?
27:08After the bridegroom discovers the plot, he vows to defend her, but she is condemned to be sacrificed.
27:13Um...
27:14Could be...
27:15And a lot of different people, maybe Odysseus or Achilles.
27:18Achilles?
27:19No, Odysseus is why I'm married.
27:20Nominate Amjad.
27:21Achilles?
27:22Yes, it is Achilles.
27:23Let's start with questions.

27:29Trinity Marchant!
27:30Argentina.
27:31Yes, your bonuses are on East Asian place names and cultural terms.
27:35In each case, I need two answers.

28:02And out the goal, Trinity have 115, Edinburgh have 180.
28:09Oh, Trinity.
28:10Bad luck.
28:11It feels so brutal to say goodbye, but you were so good.
28:14You were so good.
28:15It's just they were ever so slightly better.
28:17I'm so sorry that we have to say goodbye to you.
28:19And it's no consolation losing to a fantastic team, but we've hugely enjoyed having you.
28:23Thank you so much for coming along and playing so well.
28:25Edinburgh, my goodness me.
28:26You know, what you want to do is develop a big lead so you can relax, Robin.
28:30But anyway, you are through and we shall see you again in the quarterfinals.
28:33I hope we shall see you again, too, for another second round match.
28:36But until then, it is goodbye from Trinity College, Cambridge.
