00:00Hello and welcome to University Challenge.
00:21Asking the questions, I'm all right.
00:28Hello and welcome to University Challenge where another two teams are about to face off for a place in the quarter finals.
00:35Tonight's game is the penultimate match in round two of the competition and at this point in proceedings the format leaves teams no room for error.
00:43The losing team this evening will be leaving the competition for good.
00:47Our first ever team from Lincoln made a big impression in their debut match dispatching strong opposition from Lancaster.
00:53With three minutes to go the scores were level but Lincoln's knowledge of Gothic architecture, English geography and electrical engineering ultimately allowed them to secure a narrow victory.
01:02Lincoln were quick on the buzzer throughout that game but had a more difficult time with bonuses, struggling through sets on classical music and British birds.
01:09Though they did display an impressive knowledge of the main characters of Pixar films.
01:14Let's meet the team from the University of Lincoln once again.
01:17Hi, I'm Grace Blainfield. I'm from Buckingham and I study chemistry.
01:21Hello, I'm Laura Bruce. I'm from Perth and I study conservation and cultural heritage.
01:26And their captain.
01:27Hello, I'm Samuel Ormond Chan. I'm from Derbyshire and I study computer science.
01:32Hi, I'm John Clayworth. I live in Wigan and I study history.
01:35They're facing this year's team from UCL who played fellow Londoners SOAS in their opening game.
01:44UCL took the first starter of that match and from that point on they were never once behind.
01:48Though SOAS did make sure that they were never ahead by a margin of more than a couple of questions.
01:54They converted more than three quarters of their bonuses breezing through sets on fine art, the American War of Independence and the languages of Pakistan.
02:01European and African geography, however, proved a little less straightforward for them.
02:06Let's meet the team from UCL for the second time.
02:09Hi, I'm Zach Lakota-Baldwin. I'm from London and I'm doing a PhD in science and technology studies.
02:15Hi, I'm Alice Lee. I'm from Kendal in Cumbria and I'm studying for a Masters in Russian and post-Soviet politics.
02:22And their captain.
02:23Hi, I'm Michael Dougherty. I'm from Derry and I'm doing a PhD in optical communications.
02:28Hi, I'm Manny Campion-Dye. I'm from Bath and I'm studying for a PhD in philosophy.
02:33APPLAUSE
02:36Welcome back. Very nice to see you all. How are you feeling? Feeling good?
02:40Oh, yeah.
02:42I think we'd better get on with it. All right, fingers or buzzers, here's your start for ten. Good luck.
02:46During a visit to an exhibition of JMW Turner's works at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1966, which artist is reported to have said,
02:55This man, Turner, he learnt a lot from me.
02:58You sell campion-die.
03:00Rothko?
03:01It is Mark Rothko. Well done.
03:02APPLAUSE
03:03Three questions for you on bosses in the Diablo series of video games.
03:07Along with Diablo and Baal, which demon lord is one of the three prime evils and features as a major boss in several of the games?
03:15His name is derived from that of a devil who features in the Faust legend.
03:21Oh, Mephistopheles?
03:22Yeah, Mephistopheles.
03:23Mephistopheles.
03:24Oh, yeah? Okay.
03:25Mephistopheles?
03:26I'll accept that. The name of the boss is Mephisto. It's from Mephistopheles.
03:29A daughter of Mephisto, who is the primary antagonist of Diablo IV. She shares her name with a character in Jewish folklore, sometimes said to be the first wife of Adam.
03:39Lilith.
03:40Lilith.
03:41Yes. Sarat and Queen Aranei are among the bosses featured in the Diablo series that take the form of what arthropods?
03:50Could it just be like spiders, maybe? Because that's like a sort of freaky thing that you could have them though.
03:55Are they arthropods?
03:56I suppose it's just anything that includes like insects, arachnids, etc. So do you want to try spiders?
04:00Yeah, okay. Spider?
04:01Yes, spiders.
04:02That's correct. Well done.
04:03Let's start with a question. Established by Edward III in 1348 in imitation of the legends of King Arthur.
04:11Lincoln Clayworth.
04:12The Order of the Garter.
04:13Well done. It is indeed.
04:15Your bonuses, Lincoln, are three questions on science in 1925.
04:20In a groundbreaking PhD thesis published in 1925, the Harvard researcher Cecilia Payne
04:25established that stars are primarily composed of what two chemical elements?
04:29Hydrogen and Helium.
04:30Yes.
04:31Austrian-born Richard Gigmundi won the 1925 Nobel Chemistry Prize for his work on what class of sub-microscopic particles dispersed in another substance?
04:41Their name derives from the Greek for glue.
04:46I actually don't know the other one.
04:48Pass.
04:49The colloids.
04:50In 1925, which Austrian physicist proposed the exclusion principle stating that no two electrons in an atom can have all four quantum numbers the same?
04:59Is it the Alfvau principle?
05:03Nominate Bloomfield.
05:05Alfvau principle.
05:06No, it's Wolfgang Pauli.
05:08Let's start the question.
05:09On which modern wind instrument were Richard Mulfeldt, Heinrich Berman and Anton Stadler notable performers?
05:16The three inspired quintets by Brahms, Karl Maria von Weber and Mozart respectively.
05:20With Weber and Mozart also writing concertos.
05:23You still campy and die.
05:25Clarinet.
05:26It is a clarinet, yes.
05:27Your three questions, three bonuses on public art found at London's Liverpool Street Station.
05:32Installed in 2024 and comprising dozens of metal spheres suspended in the air, Infinite Accumulation is the largest permanent public sculpture by which artist?
05:41In the same year both the Tate Britain and Victoria Mirror Galleries exhibited some of this artist's infinity mirror rooms.
05:48Is that Kusama?
05:49Oh, it's Kusama.
05:50Kusama?
05:51Yes.
05:52Situated at the station's Broadgate exit, Fulcrum is a 55-foot tall 1987 sculpture by which American artist who died in 2024?
06:01It consists of five vertical leaning sheets of core 10 steel, one of this artist's signature materials.
06:08American sculptor.
06:10I mean Gary did loads of stuff with steel but it was...
06:16Maybe...
06:17Maybe Calder?
06:18Didn't Calder do more like mobiles and stuff though?
06:20Yeah, but...
06:21Did he do stuff that big if it's like that tall?
06:23I think it's better than Gary.
06:24I mean Gary's more like an architect but...
06:26Yeah.
06:27Uh, Calder?
06:28No, it's Richard Serra.
06:29Sculptures by Frank Meisler, Ari Ovedia and Floor Kent commemorate what government authorised programme of the late 1930s in which thousands of unaccompanied children arrived in London at Liverpool Street?
06:41Kindertransport.
06:42Kindertransport.
06:43It is indeed, yeah.
06:44Now let's start the question.
06:46In chemistry, what nine-letter term denotes a reagent added to a system to remove or bind particular trace components, usually with the aim of preventing unwanted reactions from occurring?
06:56An example being the sachets of iron powder and salt commonly added to packaged food...
07:01Desecant.
07:02Desecant.
07:03I'm afraid you lose five points to absorb oxygen.
07:07In zoology, this word means an animal that principally feeds on decaying matter or carrion.
07:13Lincoln Bloomfield.
07:14Decomposer.
07:15No, scavenger.
07:16Bad luck.
07:17Let's start the question.
07:18Which film director's work includes a cycle of films following the character Antoine Douanel, who was, according to the director, a synthesis of himself and the actor who portrayed him, Jean-Pierre Léaude?
07:29Antoine appears as an adult in films such as Love on the Run, Bed and Board, Stolen Kisses and as a mischievous schoolboy in the dark...
07:37UCL champion died.
07:38Truffaut.
07:39It is Francois Truffaut.
07:40Well done.
07:41Your bonuses UCL are on some of the useful knots which every scout ought to know.
07:46Described by Robert Baden-Powell in Scouting for Boys.
07:49Colloquially referred to as the King of Knots, which knot was described by Baden-Powell as for making a loop that will not slip, such as you tie round a man when you want to rescue him from fire?
08:02I don't know.
08:04Reef knot is a knot, but I don't know if it is.
08:07Yeah, reef knot, I can't think of any others.
08:09Ah, something to rescue him.
08:11Double under or a triple or, yeah, reef.
08:12I don't know.
08:13Reef?
08:14Nope, it's the bowline.
08:15Described by Baden-Powell as for tying two rope ends together, the principal benefit of which knot is its usefulness in joining two ropes of different sizes.
08:24It likely derives its name from its use in fixing a rope to the corners of a sail.
08:29Is that a reef knot?
08:30This could be a reef knot.
08:31Really?
08:32Reef?
08:33Or could it be like boat or boatsman or something?
08:35Corner of a sail.
08:36Yeah.
08:37Sailors?
08:38Sailors knot?
08:39Reef, okay.
08:40Reef knot?
08:41Nope, that's the sheet bend.
08:43The first knot described by Baden-Powell, which knot is used to tie two similar ropes together?
08:48Its fastening may be described as left over right and under, then right over left and under, or the reverse.
08:54Reef?
08:56Got there in the end.
08:57Well done.
08:58Yes.
08:59Picture round now.
09:00And for your picture starter, you will see a national flag. For ten points, name the country it represents.
09:11Take a Norman Chan.
09:12Senegal?
09:13No.
09:14You can never get no time.
09:15UCL like it a Baldwin.
09:16Togo.
09:17It is Togo, yes.
09:18Well done.
09:19Which is the only flag where the proportions of its length and height match the golden ratio.
09:24For your picture bonuses UCL, you will see three more national flags with unique aspect ratios.
09:30Name the country in each case.
09:32First, this flag with an aspect ratio of 189 to 335. Helpful wording has been covered.
09:40It's either El Salvador or Nicaragua I think is the other one.
09:45I think it's Monadi to El Salvador.
09:47I think it's El Salvador.
09:48You guys know this, yeah.
09:49El Salvador?
09:50Correct.
09:51Next, this flag with an aspect ratio of 10 to 17.
09:57That's Cape Verde.
09:58Cape Verde?
09:59Correct.
10:00This flag with an aspect ratio of 11 to 28.
10:04Oh wait, it's either Qatar or Bahrain.
10:06I think it's Qatar because it has lots more.
10:08Is Qatar the more stretched out one?
10:09Yeah.
10:10Yeah.
10:11Okay.
10:12Qatar?
10:13It is indeed, yes, well done.
10:14We'll start with the question.

10:35Lincoln Clayworth.
10:37Cavalier.
10:38Yes, well done.
10:39Your bonuses, Lincoln, are on a literary movement and an associated concept.
10:43Quote,
10:44The enemy of false sensibility and objective description.
10:47It seeks to clothe the idea with a sensory form which should not exist as an end in itself, but as a form which must remain subjective.
10:55Taken from an essay of 1886, those words of French poet Jean Morayas referred to which literary movement?
11:03Other poets associated with this movement include Stéphane Mallarmé.
11:07Pass.
11:09Symbolism.
11:10Which poet did Morayas credit with being the precursor of the symbolism movement?
11:15His poem Correspondences, notable for its use of synesthesia as a poetic device, is often cited as anticipating the symbolist movement.
11:24Pass.
11:25Charles Baudelaire.
11:26The sonnet Voyel, or Vowels, is a work by which symbolist poet? In it he assigns different colours, sounds and images to particular letters.
11:38Pass.
11:39That was Arthur Rambo. Let's start the question.
11:41The first OED citation of what word dates to a British patent of 1861 in which a French inventor describes an aerostatic apparatus, which I intend denominating aeronef,
11:54numerous experimental versions of this device appeared in the early 20th century, but mass production did not begin until the 1940s with the R4 made in the USA by Sikorsky.
12:08Jet engine.
12:09No.
12:10Anyone want to buzz? You may not confer.

12:20The preface to the first edition of which novel of the 1760s presented its contents as an English translation of a recently discovered manuscript written around the time of the Crusades and later printed in Naples in 1529.
12:34Lincoln Ormond Chan.
12:35House of Othello.
12:36No one afraid to lose five points.
12:37In 1529, opening with Prince Manfred impatiently awaiting the marriage of his sickly son to the Princess Isabella.
12:45The novel is often considered to be the foundation of the horror story as a literary form, and the first English language Gothic novel, and it was written by Horace Walpole.

14:45The 17th century works of Baruch Spinoza.
