00:30Here's your host Tom Gleeser
00:35Hello, I'm hungry
00:38Welcome to Hard Quiz Kids, these contestants are toddlers
00:41Last one to get lost in a ball pit will be tonight's Hard Quiz Champion
00:46To be part of the show at home, go to the ABC iview socials
00:49Let's say hello, g'day Rishi
00:51G'day Tom
00:52Now why do you like Pluto, it's not even a planet
00:54Yeah, it's a dwarf planet, just like me
00:57I'm very small, just like it
01:01But what, do you like it, do you feel sorry for it?
01:05Yeah, I feel sorry for being small
01:08Because when you first got into it, you thought it was a planet
01:11Yeah, I thought it was a planet, that's what all my parents were telling me
01:14Looks like they've gone to the wrong school
01:18Have you ever tried to follow in Pluto's footsteps and get kicked out of your own family?
01:22Hopefully not, but maybe we'll see
01:27And you're into stargazing
01:28Yeah
01:29What's the coolest thing you've seen in the night sky?
01:32Probably, like, three planets at a time
01:34Oh, how'd that happen?
01:37Magic
01:37Oh
01:39I preferred if you said science
01:43Tyler
01:43Hi Tom
01:44Now you're into the Titanic
01:46Both the ship and the 1997 film
01:48How did you first see the film?
01:50I was six, I'm pretty sure
01:52And I was wanting to watch some interesting films and Titanic popped up
01:58I clicked play and me and my mum were watching it
02:02And I got really into it
02:04But I didn't know it was like a real disaster at first
02:08So I googled it when I was at school
02:12And I made movies my own
02:15Got really into the Titanic
02:17So you watched it when you were six?
02:19Yeah
02:19That's a pretty weird scene, wasn't it?
02:21When Rose, like, starts cleaning the window with her hand
02:24Like, why didn't she use a cloth?
02:26She was, she was just
02:27She was just cleaning, Tom
02:29She was just cleaning, okay
02:31Now you asked your pop, uh, to build you a Titanic
02:34What were you thinking?
02:34Full size?
02:35Yeah, I asked him
02:37He was in the garage
02:38And I walked in and I was like
02:39Hey, pop, I'm really into Titanic
02:40Can you build me one?
02:41He's like
02:42Are you crazy?
02:43Oh
02:43Yeah, so
02:44Never got the Titanic, but
02:46Okay
02:47The owner?
02:48Yeah
02:48Now, why do you like Jasper Boomerah?
02:51He's a really good baller
02:52Yeah
02:53And he gets a lot of wickets
02:54And also, um, he's a really genuine and nice guy
02:57Now you're also a fan of brain rot
02:59Yeah
03:00Could you explain what that is
03:01And why you think it's goated with the sauce?
03:04Um
03:05Um, it's kind of a, uh, language
03:07That you can, um, uh, that, um, Gen Alphas and Gen Z speak
03:11Yeah
03:12Yeah
03:12It's a way that we communicate, yeah
03:14Yeah, I like brain rot too
03:15That's why I watch Tipping Point
03:17How do you know brain rot if you're a boomer?
03:19I'm not a boomer
03:20You're a boomer
03:21Sorry?
03:22You are a boomer
03:23You're like, as well as a dinosaur
03:24No, I'm not a boomer
03:24No, there was a baby boom just after World War II
03:27And I was born in 1974
03:28So I missed it by about 30 years
03:30Oh, okay, I didn't mind
03:32That's alright
03:33Sorry to annoy you with facts
03:36Now you went to the MCG to see boomer play
03:38Did you watch all five days of the test?
03:40Not, like, completely, but, like, I watched, like, the rest of the
03:44So you're into brain rot, which requires no attention span
03:46And test cricket, which you watch for five days
03:48Do you have a long attention span or a short attention span?
03:52I think it'll be medium
03:53Oh, medium
03:55Oh, so medium pace, like boomer
03:57If you think about it, that was the sickest burn I've done tonight
04:04Fader
04:04Hi
04:05What got you into dolphins?
04:07So, when I was little, probably about eight
04:10Yeah
04:10We went on a holiday to Queensland
04:12And then we went to SeaWorld
04:15So, we watched the dolphin show at SeaWorld
04:19And out of the whole big audience there
04:20They chose me to come up and pack the dolphin
04:22Oh, really?
04:23And then I just loved dolphins from then on
04:25Okay, what, you were careful not to pat it on the blowhole?
04:28Yeah
04:29Because it wouldn't be able to breathe
04:30You held it on
04:31So we can't suffocate it
04:32Unfortunately, you don't have a blowhole for me to suffocate you with, though
04:41Now you can squeak like a dolphin, is that true?
04:43Uh, sort of
04:44I got kind of worse when I got a bit older, but I can try
04:47Oh, if you don't mind
04:54It's not bad

08:23See who's got the most number of runs in a test over by using which website?
08:29It's wide open
08:31Cricket house?
08:34Incorrect, it's wide open
08:37Time's up
08:38Google
08:40Time now for Tyler and the Titanic
08:47I feel like Tyler, you love the Titanic a bit too much, you can't put it into words, you're so
08:51excited
08:51Yeah, I'm really excited, I'm like going crazy inside
08:55Are you just trying to hold it in?
08:58Yes, trying not to explode
08:59Yeah, you're like a passenger on the Titanic, you're just nervous, but excited at the same time
09:04Yes
09:05Let's hope everything works out this time, Tyler
09:09At the time of the Titanic's launch, its state-of-the-art design was described with what word that came
09:14to be notoriously linked to the ship?
09:17Tyler
09:18Unsinkable
09:18Correct
09:23Tyler, no spoilers, was it true?
09:26Um, yeah, they lied
09:27They're big liars
09:29The 1997 film Titanic tells the story of a romance between poor artist Jack and upper-class Rose
09:35on the ship's voyage to which US city?
09:38New York City
09:40Correct
09:44The Titanic hit an iceberg and sank with around 1,500 lives lost, mostly because there weren't enough of what
09:51passenger safety feature?
09:53Tyler
09:53Lifeboats
09:54Correct
10:00Why didn't they have enough lifeboats?
10:02Like you said, apparently the designer said it was unsinkable, which they are liars, um, clearly it wasn't
10:09Yeah, it actually had more lifeboats than was legally required
10:12Yes, yeah
10:13Yeah, so how about some gratitude, guys?
10:17Whinging
10:18Whinging in the North Atlantic
10:20The film Titanic won 11 Oscars, with James Cameron ending his best director's speech with what line that Jack shouts
10:27from the bow of the ship?
10:29Tyler
10:30I'm the king of the world
10:32Correct
10:38You want to do the line, don't you?
10:40I'm the king of the world
10:45I mean, that's nice, but let's not forget that I'm the king of the world
10:50Last question in your set, Tyler
10:52The wreck of the Titanic was discovered in 1985 by oceanographers who were on an unrelated secret mission for which
10:59branch of the U.S. military?
11:01First deal is Fiona
11:03Maybe
11:03Correct
11:04Double bounce
11:08Okay, last of the expert round is Rishi and Pluto
11:17Pluto
11:17In 2006, Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet after a vote was taken by around 400 members of a
11:24union for people with what profession?
11:28Um, astronomer
11:29You had a question
11:30Astronomer
11:32Correct
11:37You forgot to press the buzzer
11:40I thought it was only our older contestants from the grown-up show that did that
11:46Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930 while looking for a theoretical ninth planet that scientists were calling planet what?
11:54Pl-
11:54Rishi
11:55Planet X
11:56That was correct
12:01Yeah, scientists thought there was a ninth planet causing Neptune to have a weird orbit, but it turns out they
12:07calculated it wrong
12:08So finding Pluto was a total coincidence
12:11All right, hands-on buzzers, Rishi
12:14According to data from NASA's New Horizons probe, Pluto's mountains are thought to mostly be made of what frozen liquid?
12:21Um
12:23Frozen nitrogen
12:24Rishi
12:25Incorrect, it's still wide open
12:27For this deal, it's Fiona
12:29Hyogen
12:30Incorrect, it's still open
12:36Time's up, water
12:37Water
12:38Water
12:39Yeah, just water or ice
12:39Pluto's name was suggested by 11-year-old Venetia Burney who says she named it after the god of the
12:45underworld from which ancient civilization?
12:49Greek
12:51Incorrect, it's wide open
12:52Rishi
12:54Correct.
12:59Last question in your set, Rishi.
13:02Some chemical elements are named after planets.
13:05Which radioactive metal is named after Pluto?
13:08Rishi.
13:09Plutonium.
13:11Correct.
13:16OK, we've walked through their subjects.
13:18Now let's walk through mine.
13:20Tom's round.
13:21Tom's subject, multiple choice.
13:24This week I've been really getting into fruits and vegetables
13:27because I'm a grown-up and I need the fibre.
13:31Oh.
13:33Hello?
13:34Yep.
13:36Yeah, calm down, it's not that exciting.
13:38Yes, all right, you can ask the first question.
13:44Here's Costa.
13:47G'day, kids.
13:48What a great day to get out into the garden
13:51and talk about some veg.
13:53I've got a question for you.
13:56According to my buddies at Gardening Australia,
13:59when planted, which of these veggies is ready to harvest first?
14:04A, carrots, B, onions, C, potatoes, or D, rad radishes?
14:14The answer is D, radishes.
14:23Have you got anything to add, Costa?
14:25The great thing about radishes is they're so versatile.
14:29In fact, I've got a great recipe for a radish salad.
14:33Yeah, that's enough of that, all right, yep.
14:37Sorry, sorry, we were losing viewers.
14:42In the Wiggles classic song, Fruit Salad,
14:44what is the first step to make a fruit salad?
14:46A, chop up some apples, B, peel your bananas,
14:49C, toss in some grapes, D, put melons on your plate.
14:58The answer is B, peel your bananas.
15:08We think of them as vegetables,
15:09but tomatoes are botanically a fruit for what reason?
15:12A, their plants have green leaves.
15:14B, they grow above ground.
15:16C, they contain seeds.
15:18D, they're sweet.
15:21The answer is C, they contain seeds.
15:28Yeah, pumpkins, zucchini, and cucumbers
15:30are all technically fruit as well.
15:33According to the Australian manufacturers,
15:36what natural flavours are used in Fruit Loops?
15:39A, cherry, apricot, and coconut.
15:41B, pineapple, mango, and banana.
15:44C, strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry.
15:45D, orange, lemon, and lime.
15:50The answer is D, orange, lemon, and lime.
15:56Yeah, according to choice,
15:57100 grams of Fruit Loops has nearly 40 grams of sugar.
16:02Last question of my round's worth double points.
16:04Many of the nuts we eat are actually the seeds of a fruit.
16:08The cashew nut comes from which of these fruits?
16:11A, these orange ones.
16:13B, these furry ones.
16:14C, these pointy ones.
16:15D, this flamboyant one.
16:17E, this one with a hat on.
16:19F, these massive ones.
16:22If you're allergic to nuts, by the way,
16:24you can touch the screen with your sleeve.
16:27The answer is...
16:29E, this one with a hat on.
16:35All right, at the end of my round,
16:37Tyler and Rishi are both on five,
16:38which means it's time for a hard off!
16:41Hard off.
16:43That's right.
16:43Only one of you will survive.
16:44I'll ask just one question.
16:45First to buzz in, we'll answer.
16:47If you're right, you're staying.
16:47If you're wrong, you're dead to me.
16:48You ready?
16:50According to 2023 NAPLAN results for year three,
16:53which subject did students find harder?
16:56Reading.
16:58Tyler.
16:59Reading.
16:59Reading.
17:01Correct!
17:05Are you serious?
17:06I guess.
17:07I'll finish the question, reading or writing,
17:09but, yeah, reading is correct.
17:11All right, Rishi, that means you're dead to me.
17:13Get over here.
17:21So, Rishi, earlier on in the show,
17:23you had problems with the buzzer.
17:25You're forgetting to press it.
17:26But what happened then was outrageous.
17:29Mm-hmm.
17:29You had no chance of getting in.
17:31Yeah.
17:32But Tyler could have got it wrong, too.
17:33True.
17:34Yeah.
17:34Looks like I'm going to be kicked out of the family.
17:39You're being demoted to a dwarf planet all over again.
17:42No.
17:42All right, Rishi, you ready to go?
17:44All right.
17:45Out!
17:46Out!
17:54All right, it's a people's round.
17:56The people's round against the clock.
18:00Need a soft play along at home.
18:01Your time starts now.
18:04Tasmania is a state in which country?
18:06Fiona.
18:07Australia.
18:07Yes!
18:08What is the three-letter term for a baby goat?
18:11Tyler.
18:15Too Slow, Kid.
18:16A song from the film Frozen is Do You Want to Build a What?
18:19Tyler.
18:20Snowman.
18:20Yes!
18:21The Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne is known to exhibit
18:24what long-tailed mammals?
18:29Time's up, meerkats.
18:301.9 rounds up to what whole number?
18:33Fiona.
18:34Two.
18:35Yes!
18:35A kids' book series by Sally Rippon is about a girl called
18:39Billie B.
18:40What?
18:40Fiona.
18:41Jane.
18:42No.
18:43Brown.
18:44Rhyming with clamp, what do you usually stick on an envelope
18:47before posting it?
18:48Time's up!
18:49The answer is stamp.
18:52I'm just feeling a bugger.
18:54All right, at the end of the people's round,
18:55Tyler, you're at the bottom on five.
18:56Get over here.
19:04Do you think this studio has enough lifeboats?
19:08Sadly, no.
19:09No.
19:09What would you do differently if you had another shot at it?
19:12Hmm.
19:13I would probably try and answer questions and, like, a lot faster and, yeah, I guess just try harder.
19:20Okay, you had Rishi missing his buzz next to you, though.
19:23That was pretty good.
19:24Yeah.
19:25All right, you ready to go?
19:26Mm-hmm.
19:26Out!
19:30There he goes.
19:35All right, only two left.
19:36Who's going to be the hard quiz champion?
19:38Vader and Fiona, get over here because it's time to play a hard quiz.
19:48Now, there can only be one hard quiz champion who gets to take home the limited edition big
19:52brass mug.
19:52What will you do with the mug if you win Vader?
19:54I will fill it with popcorn to eat when I watch movies and then I'll polish it and show it
20:02off to people at school and then put it on my shelf.
20:05What about you, Fiona?
20:06I'll fill it up with Coke and I'll put a bunch of Mentos in it.
20:11That would create a big mess.
20:13Yeah.
20:14Your parents will love it.
20:15Yeah, I bet they will.
20:16And I will too.
20:18It's best of five penalty shootout style, harder questions on your expert subjects.
20:22So it's Vader's knowledge of dolphins versus Fiona's knowledge of Jasper at Bumrah.
20:27Let's play.
20:28Hard!
20:33Vader.
20:34Bottlenose dolphins are found in many places around the world but typically avoid
20:39which two oceans.
20:42Um, so I think they like the Pacific Ocean.
20:51So I'm probably going to guess one of the warmer, uh, oceans.
21:02Um, okay, maybe I'm just going to guess like the Indian Ocean and the...
21:11Mediterranean Sea?
21:14Incorrect.
21:15The correct answer is the Arctic Ocean and the Antarctic Ocean.
21:20Yeah, so it's a bit the opposite of what you're saying.
21:22They avoid the cold oceans.
21:23That's what they usually avoid.
21:24Fiona.
21:25Yeah.
21:26Coldplay frontman Chris Martin sang a song for Bumrah at a concert in Amadabad with the lyrics,
21:32the best bowler in the world of cricket.
21:34We do not enjoy watching you destroy England with what after what?
21:40Wicket after wicket?
21:41Correct.
21:43Correct.
21:49Vader.
21:50According to this study, dolphins in Shark Bay, Western Australia, have been observed using
21:56tools including protecting their snouts with sponges and using what object to help take fish
22:02above water to eat?
22:05Um, I think, I think it was like a shell.
22:11Yeah, they were using like a shovel.
22:14Yeah, I think that was it.
22:16Correct.
22:23Yeah, they were using a conch shell.
22:25Um, here's a dolphin with a shell.
22:27And, uh, have you ever seen dolphins do any cool tricks like that?
22:30I've seen them do like flips and stuff, but I think they'd only use that stuff in the wild
22:36because in the sea world they just get given fish.
22:39Yeah.
22:40Fiona.
22:41Jasper's nickname, Boom Boom Boom Ra, has led to him appearing in ads for which brand of bubble gum?
22:50I'm not 100% sure.
22:53Or, uh, it's the only bubble gum brand I know, Hubba Bubba, I don't know.
22:59Incorrect.
23:00The correct answer is Boomer Gum.
23:04Yeah, which is a gum that I do not use because I'm Generation X.
23:12Vader.
23:13To ensure they still breathe while resting, dolphins are able to keep one half of their brain alert
23:18thanks to what state of sleep?
23:21Uni-hemispheric slow-wave sleep.
23:24I think it's called that.
23:26Which is basically, like, they have, as you said, half their brain asleep at a time.
23:33Correct.
23:38Fiona.
23:39Yeah.
23:39Boomeran took his first wicket in the Indian Premier League during his 2013 debut when he dismissed batting legend Virat
23:47Kohli.
23:48How did he dismiss him?
23:51I'm not 100% sure.
23:55I actually don't know.
23:58Incorrect.
23:58The correct answer is leg before wicket.
24:02Yeah, he got him LBW.
24:03So pretty impressive to get Virat Kohli out in your first game.
24:07Yeah, and got him out LBW.
24:08Vader.
24:10Dolphins use echolocation for hunting and navigating in low visibility.
24:14They can identify objects by sending out sound waves that bounce back,
24:18focusing the outgoing waves through which of their fatty organs?
24:22The melon in their forehead.
24:26Correct.
24:34I do that too.
24:36Using my melon in my forehead.
24:39There it is, Ed.
24:40Looks like a whoopee cushion.
24:42If you sat on a dolphin's head, it would go...
24:46OK, Fiona, you need this to stay in.
24:48If you get this wrong, then, Vader, you are tonight's heart quiz champion.
24:51In January 2025, Jasper at Boomer received four honours from the International
24:56Cricket Council, including this trophy.
25:00What is this award called?
25:03Sir Garfield Samba trophy.
25:07Correct.
25:10Yeah, Boomer is the first Indian pacer to win the award.
25:14Vader, if you get this right, you are tonight's heart quiz champion.
25:18Earlier, we talked about how dolphins use signature whistles to identify each other.
25:22According to research published in 2022, bottlenose dolphins can also identify each other by tasting what substance?
25:32Um, so I'm not really sure on this one, but I think substance is kind of a tricky concept.
25:47Um, uh, maybe I'm just going to guess the substance that I can kind of think of, or even, like,
25:56salt or, like, water or something.
26:00So...
26:01So, but I know that they get their...
26:04They don't drink the seaboard and they get it from their food, so that doesn't really make sense.
26:09Sorry, I just don't know.
26:12Incorrect.
26:13The correct answer is urine.
26:15Oh.
26:17Yeah, they identify each other by tasting, uh, their urine.
26:21Which is also how Costa identifies me.
26:25Again, Vioni, you need this to stay in.
26:28Now, if you get this wrong, then Vader, you are tonight's heart quiz champion.
26:31After young Australian Sam Constance was dismissed by Boomerah in the second innings of his debut test match,
26:38Boomerah mocked him by copying a celebration Constance had made during India's first innings.
26:44What was the hand gesture that Boomerah copied?
26:48Um, so he brought his hands up in the air, because, um, Sam Constance did that, um, before,
26:55and then he was doing this to get all the Australian, um, fans to, um, cheer.
27:01Correct.
27:09All right, let's move on to the tiebreakers.
27:14Okay, here we go.
27:16Vader.
27:17It thought dolphins are able to conserve energy while travelling at speed by continually alternating
27:21between swimming near the surface and breaching or leaping out of the water.
27:26What is the name of this behaviour?
27:33I thought it was just called, like, breaching or leaping.
27:36Um, no, this doesn't really sound very, like, um, proper or anything,
27:43but I may as well just guess that it's just called, like, um, half above water swimming.
27:52Incorrect.
27:53Uh, the correct answer is porpoising.
27:57Now that I've said it, does it sound familiar?
28:00Yeah.
28:01Yeah.
28:02Fiona, if you get this right, you are tonight's hard quiz champion.
28:05Yeah.
28:06In a 2016 interview, Boomerah revealed that his all-time favourite bowlers are Wasim Akram,
28:12Mitchell Johnson, and which other Australian fast bowler?
28:17I'm not 100% sure again.
28:20Um, this is in 2016, right?
28:23Yes.
28:26Um, I think I'd say maybe, like, David Warner, hopefully.
28:33Incorrect.
28:34The correct answer is...
28:36Brett Lee.
28:38All right, OK, scores are still tied.
28:41That means it's time for a Tom's tiebreaker!
28:43Tom's tiebreaker!
28:47All right, it's one random question.
28:49Nearest to the pin will be the hard quiz champion.
28:53Here we go.
28:54Built in 2013, and almost the size of a tennis court,
28:58the world's largest gingerbread house was created using how many eggs?
29:03Vader.
29:081,500.
29:12OK, Fiona.
29:131,750.
29:17Right, the answer is 7,200, which means, this is Fiona, you are tonight's hard quiz champion!
29:23Right, how do you know what this means?
29:25Yep!
29:27There she goes.
29:34Congratulations, Fiona, you are tonight's hard quiz champion,
29:36which means you get the big brass mark!
29:39That's the big brass!
29:41Do you need help with that, Mum?
29:43Yeah!
29:44I'll help you.
29:45You got it?
29:46Yay!
29:49For a bra!
29:49You got it, figuring out what you did?
29:50Yeah!
