00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34Rachel, you know more about this sort of thing than I do.
00:37Technology, isn't it amazing?
00:39Is nothing impossible?
00:41There's a new product out on the market.
00:42Here we go.
00:43It analyses your breath.
00:45It goes as a sniff.
00:49And then it measures the carbon dioxide levels in your breath to determine your metabolism.
00:55Now, it then connects to an app on your phone.
00:58It explains if you're burning carbs or fat and suggests foods that will improve your diet.
01:04Apparently, it costs 250 quid.
01:06And what do you reckon?
01:08Sounds so amazing.
01:09You never know if they're actually true or not.
01:10But this one's actual proper science.
01:12Have you not?
01:13Do you know about this?
01:14I've had a quick read about it and it does just take one breath.
01:17It analyses it and it works out whether you're metabolizing fat or carbohydrates.
01:22So if you want to lose weight or if you want to go for a run, it can tell you what you need to eat or what you might want to eat later or what you might want to do exercise-wise.
01:28It sounds very, very smart.
01:30Isn't it extraordinary?
01:30Is it not sort of thrown, perhaps, by that which you've most recently eaten?
01:34No, I think it just checks by your metabolic rate what your body is digesting.
01:39So it's proper science and it knows that you might have just eaten something or not eaten something.
01:43OK, so it's just cancerous.
01:44I think they've thought of that.
01:45Yeah, I'm sure.
01:46I'm sure they have.
01:48Now, who have we got with us, Rachel?
01:49We've got that.
01:50Hugh Davies back again.
01:51He's been project manager from Camberley, has two wins to his name and you've landed yourself a teapot.
01:58Well done.
01:59Well done.
02:00Thanks.
02:00And you're joined by Andy.
02:01Andy Myerson, financial recruitment consultant from Finchley in London.
02:06Big sports fan.
02:08Mm-hmm.
02:08Big sports fan.
02:09I think that you referee football matches, but also you're the referee secretary.
02:14This is new to me.
02:15I didn't know that referees had secretaries for the league.
02:17Tell us a bit about this.
02:19Yeah, it's a league in North London.
02:21And the referee's secretary is basically a glorified admin job.
02:25OK.
02:25You're basically just making sure that each game has a referee.
02:29They know where they're going.
02:30The teams know who's refereeing them.
02:32OK.
02:33And make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible.
02:34And the league is called, it's your local league, it's called the...
02:37It's the MSFL in North London.
02:39OK.
02:40Maccabee Southern Football League.
02:41Excellent.
02:42There are very many rules.
02:44I hardly know any of them, but Rachel and Susie know them all.
02:48So if you step out of line, they'll be on you.
02:49Good luck to you both.
02:51Big round of applause now for Andy and Hugh.
02:57And over in the corner, Susie.
02:59Of course.
02:59And once again, that wonderful, wonderful magician and comedian, Paul Zenon.
03:04Welcome back, Paul.
03:09I kept that penny I won yesterday.
03:12And it's still a penny.
03:13I'm hoping you'll work a bit of magic and make it grow.
03:16Not a chance.
03:17All right, then.
03:19Hugh, come to my rescue here.
03:22It's a letters game.
03:23OK.
03:24Good afternoon, Rachel.

04:36Now, Paul and Susie?
04:38Yes, a couple of other sevens there with entails and cankles.
04:44But there is an eight there with lankiest.
04:47Lankiest.
04:47So if you've got massive cankles, you might well with the lankiest.
04:50So if you've got massive, lankiest, well done indeed.
04:55Seven apiece.

06:10Morbid.
06:11Yes, both good.
06:12We could have a little struggle here, couldn't we?
06:14Thirteen apiece in the corner.
06:16Just a couple of other sixes, really, as well as armour, there's ardour.
06:19And also barium.
06:21A barium meal.
06:22Have you ever had one of those things?
06:24Thankfully not.
06:25No, it turns your tummy into complete concrete.
06:27Fantastic.
06:28Takes a lot of moving.
06:29Heed.
06:31Thirteen apiece.
06:32Now, Hugh, it's your numbers game.
06:35One large and five small, please, Rachel.
06:36Moved away from the fun six little ones selection back to the one large.
06:40Maybe safer.
06:41Let's see, Hugh.
06:42They are nine, seven, ten, one, four, and 75.
06:49And the target, 630.
06:52Six, three, zero.

07:26Andy?
07:276.30.
07:28Off we go, Hugh.
07:28Nine sevens.
07:2963.
07:30Multiply it by ten.
07:31Couldn't have been much easier.
07:32Andy?
07:33Slightly differently, nine plus four is 13.
07:37Yep.
07:38Take away one is 12.
07:40Take that from the 75.
07:42Four is 63.
07:43And multiply it by ten.
07:44Same result.
07:45Well done.
07:45Well done.
07:48So 23 apiece as we turn to our first tea time teaser,
07:52which is Ideal Bull.
07:54And the clue, she didn't have the best voice,
07:57but it certainly got her child to sleep.
08:00She didn't have the best voice,

08:23She didn't have the best voice,
08:24but it certainly got her child to sleep.
08:28And the answer to that is Lullabide.

12:33Andy. 285. One away. Hugh? I think 287. Andy, off we go. 6 minus 5 is 1. Add it to the 3 and multiply that by 75, 300. Yep. And then take off the 9 and the 6 for 285. 9 and the remaining 6. Lovely.
12:55OK. And Hugh, are you sticking with the 287? No, I've gone wrong. All right. Let's go to Rachel. Rachel, this 286 of yours. I've actually found just the one way, but if you say 6 divided by 6 is 1, add that to 3 for 4. And then you can times it by 75 for 300 and take the 9 and the 5. But lots of dead ends with this one.
13:18Oh, well done. Thank you, Rachel. Very good, sir. Andy. Whoa. He's getting strong here. 44 to Hughes, 30, as we link to Paul Zenon. Paul, what's cooking now?
13:33Well, not quite cooking, but it will use some kind of bakery ingredients. Eggs, because we're talking about Easter this week, obviously. In fact, I'm going to go over and see Rachel. I'm going to harass Rachel with this one. It's been a while.
13:44Thanks, Paul.
13:45And now there's a very famous trick amongst magicians, which is called the egg bag. The egg bag, as you'd probably guess, uses a cloth bag and an egg. But it's not been around for a while. But you might have seen the late, great Tommy Cooper doing this particular trick.
14:00So I'm going to show you a version of it which uses, in deference to him, rather than a cloth bag, an actual hat. And you might be thinking that the tassel's missing, but it's not really, because the hat's just inside out.
14:11It's a way of showing you that there's no one hiding inside. Now, the way the trick works is that you take an invisible egg like this. Now, just check in there. Just have a route around. Make sure there's no one hiding.
14:22No one hiding.
14:22OK, but you take an invisible egg like that, and you go, like that, and reach inside and be careful, because it is a real one.
14:30And then, I'll tell you what, let's try it slightly different. You hold onto the hat for a moment.
14:33Let's take the egg, and I'm going to use, I'm putting a glass, I'm going to use this carefully so we don't break it, and just cover the egg and the glass with the hat.
14:40OK, now watch this. We go, a one, two, three, and it's disappeared, and ends up in the pocket, like that. You don't believe me, do you?
14:50Well, I never believe you.
14:51It really has. Look, it's disappeared from there. Now, I'll tell you what, you hold your hand out flat, and just hold the glass on there, and hold it nice and tight, like that.
14:58So we're going to take, take the egg, and this time, we're going to do it with a broken egg, like that, and we'll just cover it with the hat, and go, pshh, but this time, the egg doesn't disappear, however, the bottom of the glass doesn't disappear.
15:12Oh!
15:17Thank you, Paul.
15:23The yolk's on you.
15:24The yolk is on me.
15:26I don't know what.
15:28I'm going to keep an eye on that one, I tell you.

23:26Well, Hugh?
23:36You can go for a six.
23:37Andy?
23:38Six.
23:38Hugh, six.
23:39Tiggle.
23:40Tiggle.
23:41Andy?
23:42Legate.
23:43Legate?
23:44Legate, we normally say, yeah, that's absolutely fine.
23:47What about tiggle?
23:47There's taggle, toggle, but no tiggle, I'm afraid.
23:50Tiggle.
23:51Sorry.
23:52Well, how'd you in mind, actually, Hugh, with your tiggle?
23:55I couldn't possibly say.
23:57LAUGHTER
23:57What about the corner, though?
24:00Nothing, really, no.
24:01Legate was as much as we've got there, really.
24:03That was it.
24:04All right, thank you.
24:0571 to 51, 20 points in it as we turn to Susie.
24:08Give these guys a rest, Susie.
24:10And give us your origins of words for today.
24:13Oh, a lovely email from Richard Davies,
24:16who asks where the English word neighbour comes from.
24:20And he's been doing a little bit of studying,
24:22because he says, in Dutch, it's boarman,
24:24in French, it's voisin,
24:26in German, it's nachbar,
24:28in Italian, it's vecino,
24:30in Spanish, it's vecino, and so on, and so on.
24:33And he says, none of these bear any resemblance to each other whatsoever.
24:35What's going on?
24:37Is it just a contraction of nearby?
24:39Asks Richard.
24:41So for the story of neighbour,
24:42we need to go right back to Old English,
24:45to the days of the Anglo-Saxons before the Norman Conquest,
24:48when a gubur, G-E-B-U-R,
24:51was a peasant or a tenant farmer.
24:53That was the ordinary word for somebody who tilled the land
24:56and earned their living that way.
24:58And a nigh boar, nigh, N-I-G-H,
25:01or a near boar, in other words,
25:03was simply a farmer or a peasant who lived nearby.
25:07And that is the ancestor of our word neighbour.
25:09So Richard is almost right when he says,
25:11is it just a contraction of nearby?
25:13So it's almost there.
25:15And that word, gubur, is Germanic in origin.
25:18So as I say, it came over with the Angles and the Saxons,
25:21the invading tribes.
25:22That's where it came from.
25:23But what was going on elsewhere,
25:25with the French voisin, for example,
25:27and the Italian and the Spanish and the Portuguese,
25:28who had fairly similar words,
25:30is that they were borrowing from the Romans.
25:32So they took a different word from a different route.
25:35And for the Romans,
25:36a vicinus was a neighbour.
25:38And that, of course, is where we get vicinity from.
25:40So back to gubur.
25:42And that was a perfectly neutral term, as I say,
25:44for somebody who worked on the land,
25:46until 1066, when the Normans came.
25:49And they swept away not just our existing language,
25:51but our existing social structure as well.
25:54And when gubur returned centuries later,
25:57it came as a sort of really negative stereotype
25:59of a thick-skinned, thick-headed rustic,
26:03because the Normans were the elite
26:05who sort of carried out all the aristocratic pursuits,
26:07whereas the Anglo-Saxons, as it was thought,
26:10were the people who were just the sort of ordinary peasants.
26:12But it was that gubur that gave us the word boor,
26:16B-O-O-R,
26:17for somebody who is rude, bad-mannered,
26:21coarse, uncouth, you name it.
26:23So that gubur that's there in neighbour
26:25came back and gave us a sort of completely different word
26:27with a very, very different meaning.
26:29Indeed.
26:30Excellent.
26:30Well, well, well.
26:36Beautifully packaged up for us.
26:37Lovely.
26:3871 to 51, Andy on 71.

28:02Not a lot else.
28:03No.
28:03That's it.
28:04That's it.
28:04Close that down, then.

29:12Eight.
29:13Now, Andy.
29:14Eight.
29:15Here we go.
29:16Yes, you.
29:16Action.
29:17And?
29:18Sedation.
29:19Sedation.
29:21Very good, both.
29:22Very good.
29:23APPLAUSE
29:24And what eight will come out of the corner, I wonder?
29:31Paul?
29:32There is actually a nine thing there.
29:33No.
29:33Yeah.
29:35Nothing to do with irritating pussies, but catenoids.
29:39Catenoids.
29:41Excellent.
29:41What is a catenoid?
29:44Catenoid is a term from geometry for the surface generated by rotating a catenary about its
29:52horizontal axis, and a catenary is something that you will find as a curve that's formed
29:57by a wire or a rope or a chain that kind of hangs freely.
30:01It's a kind of curve.
30:02Well, that's brilliant.
30:03Anything else?
30:04Another nine as well.
30:05Good Lord.
30:06Would you believe?
30:06With sonicated.
30:09Well, I'm not.
30:10Scientific time, this one, to subject a biological sample to ultrasonic vibration to fragment
30:15the cells.
30:17Excellent stuff.
30:17Well done, Paul.
30:19That's brilliant.
30:20Now, 85 to 65 into the final numbers game.
30:24For you, Andy.
30:25Six more ones, please, Rachel.
30:26Six more.
30:27Brave decision.
30:28You're not over the line yet.
30:29Thank you, Andy.
30:30Final numbers are 10, 8, 7, 3, 5, and 8.
30:38And the target, 970.
30:40970.
30:411, 2, 2, 3, 5, and 8.
31:11Andy, 960.
31:15960, Hugh?
31:17Yeah, 960, not written down, though.
31:18Hugh, lead us in.
31:218 8s.
31:228 8s, 64.
31:247 times 5.
31:267 times 5, 35.
31:28Add them together.
31:29For 99.
31:30And take 3 off.
31:32Take 3, which you haven't used, 96.
31:34And 960, 10 away.
31:37Andy?
31:37960, 8 plus 5 is 13.
31:41Yep.
31:43Multiply that by 7 is 91.
31:46Yep.
31:478 minus 3 is 5.
31:50The other 8, lovely.
31:52Add together to 96 and multiply by 10.
31:55Yep.
31:55And again, 10 away.
31:57Neat, but not perfect, is it?
31:58970, Rachel?
32:00Yes, Nick.
32:01If you say 5 times 8 is 40,
32:06times 3 is 120.
32:09Times 8 gets you to 960.
32:13And you have the 10 left over to add on for 970.
32:15Ah, well done.
32:16Lovely.
32:21Thanks, Rachel.
32:22Perfect, as ever.
32:23So 90 plays 70 as we go into the final round.
32:26Gentlemen, fingers on buzzers.
32:29Let's rule today's Countdown Conundrum.
32:31Andy?
32:48Photology?
32:49Photology, I wonder.
32:52No?
32:53Now then, Hugh, you've got all the rest of the time.
32:56You?
33:14Gallopathy?
33:17Gallopathy, I wonder.
33:19I don't think so, somehow, whatever that is.
33:21No?
33:23No?
33:23Whoa, stumped here.
33:24Two good players as well.
33:26Who in the audience?
33:28Yes, madam?
33:29Pathology?
33:30Pathology.
33:31Let's see whether you're right.
33:35Pathology.
33:35There we are.
33:39It was an ology, at least.
33:42Hugh, look at this.
33:43You've got a teapot.
33:44Yeah.
33:44And you've got a goodie bag, and you've played really well.
33:47Thank you very much.
33:47No, thanks for coming, mate.
33:49Thank you very much.
33:49Back to Camberley.
33:51Back to whatever it is you're up to with the British Navy.
33:54You look after them, will you?
33:55We'll try.
33:55Look after us, indeed.
33:57Andy, that's not a bad way to start, is it?
33:59Excellent stuff.
34:0090.
34:01Well done.
34:03You have a quiet night.
34:04We'll see you tomorrow.
34:05I will.
34:05All right.
34:06Well done, indeed.
34:06Well done.
34:08Paul, are you coming back tomorrow?
34:09We might pop in, yeah.
34:10Why not?
34:10What sort of damage you can do tomorrow?
34:12Yes.
34:13All right.
34:13Steaming.
34:14We'll see you tomorrow with Susie, of course.
34:16Susie will be there.
34:16Yeah, I'll be there.
34:17Lovely stuff.
34:17Well done.
34:18Yeah, well, I'm one of the minority that likes a six small selection, so I've lost one six
34:22small selector, but I've gained another.
34:23Well done.
34:24We'll see you tomorrow?
34:25See you tomorrow.
34:26Of course we will.
34:26See you tomorrow.
34:27Same time, same place.
34:28You be sure of it.
34:29A very good afternoon.
