00:27Hello and welcome to University Challenge.
00:30Where we're still in the round of 16.
00:32For tonight's teams, this will be their second match in this year's competition.
00:35And what's at stake is a place in the quarterfinals.
00:38The winners of this game will be the sixth team through to the next round.
00:41The losers will be the 18th team to be eliminated.
00:44The team from Trinity College Cambridge qualified for this second round by beating Lydeca College Oxford.
00:49Trinity made a very strong start to that game, taking the first five starters and all but two of the
00:53bonuses that followed.
00:54And though the rest of the match was a much more even contest, that early lead ultimately proved insurmountable.
01:00So far, Trinity have demonstrated particularly impressive knowledge of pop music, modern theatre and synthetic diamonds.
01:06And the only bonus set they've really struggled with was about evolutionary biology.
01:10Let's meet the Trinity team for the second time.
01:12Hi, I'm Piers Marchant. I'm from Sanbury-on-Thames and I'm studying history.
01:18Hello, my name's Alessandro D'Anazio. I'm from London and I'm studying physics.
01:21And their captain.
01:22Hi, I'm Yusuf Kand. I'm from Liverpool and I'm studying physics.
01:27Hi, I'm Lily Carney. I'm from Backwell near Bristol and I'm studying for Masters in Systems Biology.
01:35They're facing this year's team from Edinburgh, who won their first round heat against Newcastle by 200 points to 105.
01:42Edinburgh in that match were just a bit too quick on the buzzer for their northeastern rivals,
01:46making a number of very well-judged interruptions on questions about Brazilian music,
01:51weaving terms, pistachio nuts and the Marquis de Sade.
01:54They did, however, only convert around half the bonuses they won.
01:57They made short work of sets on Japanese food and Russian flags, but dropped a lot of points on architecture
02:03and mathematics.
02:04Let's meet the team from Edinburgh once again.
02:07Hi, I'm Parthav Ishwar. I'm from Portland, Oregon, in the US, and I'm studying for a Masters in Sustainable Lands
02:11and Cities.
02:13Hi, I'm Johnny Richards. I'm from Los Angeles, California, and I'm doing a PhD on Ancient DNA.
02:18And their captain.
02:19Hi, I'm Alice Leonard. I'm from Portsmouth and I'm studying for a Masters in Environment, Culture and Society.
02:25Hi, I'm Rehan Amjad. I'm from Dublin and Glasgow, and I'm studying for a PhD in Computer Science.
02:34Welcome back to all of you. Very nice to see you all.
02:37Best of luck. Fingers on buzzers. Here's your first starter for ten.
02:41What eight-letter word links all of the following?

02:55The name of the home ground of the oldest association football club in the whole of Ireland, Cliftonville.
03:01The name of the polar fortress that serves as Superman's base.
03:04Edinburgh Amjad.
03:06Solitude.
03:06It is solitude. Well done.
03:08Your bonus is Edinburgh on plays about a literary figure.
03:12First performed in 2000, Neil Bartlett's play In Extremis centres on which writer's reported visit to a palm reader on
03:19the night of the 24th of March, 1895,
03:22to seek advice about the likely outcome of an upcoming libel suit?
03:26Oscar Wilde.
03:27It's giving Wilde, yeah.
03:28Wilde.
03:29It's got to be Oscar Wilde.
03:30Subtitled The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde, what is the title of Marseille Kauffman's 1997 play about Wilde's arrest and
03:37imprisonment?
03:38It takes his two-word title from the specific crime with which Wilde was charged in 1895.
03:44I'll do that.
03:45Gross Indecency.
03:46Yes.
03:46The 1998 play The Judas Kiss, concerning Wilde's relationship with Alfred Douglas,
03:51was written by which British playwright whose other works include the 1978 play Plenty and 2022's Straight Line Crazy?
03:59Do you have a good guess?
04:00Just any British playwright recently?
04:02That's not Tom Stoppard, I don't think.
04:03No, it's not.
04:04Just go with it if you don't have anything.
04:05Stoppard?
04:05It's not Stoppard, no.
04:06It's David Hare.
04:07Another question.

04:33Swedish.
04:34It is Swedish, yes, well done.
04:36Three questions for you, Trinity, on metals.
04:39In material science, what ten-letter term is used to denote a small group of metals
04:43with exceptionally high resistance to heat and wear that includes tungsten and tantalum?
04:49In physiology, the word designates a period of reduced responsiveness.
04:53Unconscious?
04:54Um, yes.
04:55Unconscious?
04:57Unconscious?
04:59Um, anything?
05:00Imperfuous?
05:01Yeah.
05:02Is that, that's probably the best we've got.
05:04Imperfuous?
05:05No, it's refractory.
05:06Located above tungsten in the periodic table,
05:09which refractory metal is the base of the alloy TZM,
05:13in which it is combined with titanium and zirconium?
05:16This metal is also often added to stainless steel
05:18to increase corrosion resistance.
05:21Melipidum?
05:21Sounds right.
05:22Melipidum.
05:23Yes.
05:23Used in rocket engine nozzles because of its high heat resistance,
05:28C103 is an alloy of hafnium and which refractory metal
05:32with very similar chemical and physical properties to tantalum?
05:36Um, niobium.
05:37Niobium is what I was, yeah.
05:39Niobium.
05:40Yes, well done.
05:40Let's start the question.
05:42What is the last word in the title of a work of political philosophy

05:50the first replying to Robert Filmer's patriarca
05:52and the second declaring that the purpose of law is
05:54to preserve and enlarge freedom?
05:57The work is the principal political work of the philosopher John Locke
06:00and the word in question follows two treatises on what?
06:04Trinity can't.
06:05Government.
06:06It is, of course, government, yes.

14:10The 1959 lecture,
14:12there's plenty of room
14:12at the bottom
14:13concerning the physics
14:14of nanoscale motors
14:15and writing the
14:16Encyclopedia Britannica
14:17on a pinhead
14:18was given by which
14:19Nobel-winning physicist

14:23Feynman.
14:24Great man.
14:25The 2023 Nobel Prize
14:26for physics
14:27was awarded
14:27to Mungi Bawendi,
14:29Louis Bruce
14:29and Alexei Yekimov
14:31for their work
14:32on which
14:32zero-dimensional
14:33semiconductor particles
14:35with unusual
14:35optical and electronic
14:37properties
14:37arising from
14:38quantum confinement?
14:41There's two bells
14:42there, is it?
14:43That was the year before.
14:46Any ideas?
14:51Yes, that's true.
14:52Quantum dots.
14:53It is quantum dots.
14:54Well done.
14:54Coined by K. Eric Drexler
14:56in the 1986 book
14:57Engines of Creation,
14:59what short

15:04nanobots consume
15:05all the biomass
15:06on the planet?
15:07Grey goo.
15:08Grey goo.
15:09Well done.
15:10Now to start the question.
15:11Music round now.

15:38but not that much.
15:43Edinburgh Richards.
15:44Talamon?
15:44No, it's Bach.
15:46We'll take your music bonuses
15:47when we get the next starter right.
15:49The biologist,
15:49Svante Perbo,
15:51winner of the
15:512022 Nobel Prize...
15:53Trinity Cant.

16:00what specific
16:00scientific discipline
16:01which may be defined
16:03as the study
16:03of the DNA
