00:27Hello and welcome back to the
00:29quarter-final stage of this year's University Challenge. This match is a must-win game for
00:34both teams. They have each lost one quarter-final already and if they lose again tonight they will
00:39be leaving the competition. If they do win they'll still need to come back and win once more if they're
00:44to join Edinburgh in the semi-finals. This year's team from Manchester started their run to this point
00:48with two impressive wins over tough opposition from New College Oxford and the LSE. Both those
00:54games were close and very competitive so it was something of a surprise when their first quarter
00:58final against Edinburgh was fairly one-sided. In the first half of that match Manchester managed
01:02just one correct starter to Edinburgh's eight. They were stronger in the second but still finished on
01:0680 points to Edinburgh's 195 meaning their average score is now around 140. Let's meet the team from
01:13Manchester for the fourth time. Hi I'm Ray Power I'm from Bangkok Thailand and I study film studies
01:18and English literature. Hi my name is Kirsty Dixon I'm from Morley Green in Cheshire and I study
01:24medicine. And their captain? Hi I'm Kai Madrick I'm from Foy in Cornwall and I'm studying for a PhD in
01:29AI and
01:30astrophysics. Hi I'm Rob Faulkner I'm from Norwich and I'm studying physics with astrophysics.
01:35APPLAUSE
01:38The team from UCL saw off first SOAS and then Lincoln to reach this round and in their first quarterfinal
01:43came agonisingly close to beating Merton College Oxford as well. That match was neck and neck throughout.
01:49In the middle third neither team had a run of more than one correct starter in a row and the
01:53lead passed back and
01:54forth from question to question but in the end it was Merton who were in front at the gong by
01:58just
01:5910 points. The UCL team's average score so far is now just over 180. Let's meet them once again.
02:06Hi I'm Zach Lakota-Baldwin I'm from London and I'm doing a PhD in science and technology studies.
02:13Hi I'm Alice Lee I'm from Kendall and I'm studying for a master's in Russian and post-Soviet politics.
02:18And their captain?
02:19Hi I'm Michael Dougherty I'm from Derry and I'm doing a PhD in optical communications.
02:24Hi I'm Manny Campion-Dye I'm from Bath and I'm studying for a PhD in philosophy.

02:32Welcome back. Very nice to see you all and to see you applauding each other.
02:36You need to win this one. No pressure. Fingers on buzzers. Good luck. Here's your first starter for 10.
02:42Writing in the early 3rd century CE, about 150 years after her death, whom did the Roman historian Cassius Dio
02:50describe as being very tall in appearance, most terrifying, with a harsh voice and with a great mass of the
02:56torniest hair itself?
02:59Boudicca. It is Boudicca, yes.
03:00Your bonuses are on transnational UNESCO World Heritage properties, that is, those with multiple sites in more than one country.
03:10A site inscribed in 1983 comprises the ruins of several religious missions in the rainforests of southern Brazil and northern
03:18Argentina.
03:18Founded in the 17th and 18th century by which religious order? For the purpose of converting the native Guarani people?
03:26I mean, it could be like the Jesuits or something like that. The Jesuits?
03:30It is the Jesuits.
03:31The mining sites of Almaden in Spain and Idria in Slovenia are two UNESCO sites inscribed under the title heritage
03:38of what relatively rare heavy metal mined at these sites since antiquity and medieval times, respectively?
03:45The international importance of this metal increased due to its role in the working of gold and silver mines in
03:51the Americas.
03:52Oh, is it mercury?
03:53Is that quite...
03:54Well, they've used that to, like, my gold and stuff, I'm fairly sure.
03:58And it's fairly rare.
03:58It's quite rare.
03:59Mercury?
04:00Yes. The Moravian church settlements listed by UNESCO include four towns and villages established according to principles reflecting Moravian religious
04:09ideals.
04:10Three are located in Germany, Denmark and the US, while the fourth is the village of Grace Hill, just outside
04:16Ballymena, in which county of Northern Ireland?
04:21Is it Catedown?
04:23I was thinking Catedown. Ballymena sounds... I don't know. I just couldn't say.
04:27Catedown?
04:28No, it's Antrim.
04:29No, let's start a question.
04:31Characters in which play that premiered in Stratford-upon-Avon in 2024 include Argentinian diplomat Raúl Estrada Oyuela?
04:39UCO do it.
04:40Kyoto.
04:41It is Kyoto. Well done.
04:42Your bonuses, UCO, are on alliteratively named psychologists.
04:46Five points for each person you can identify.
04:49First, an Austrian psychologist born 1870 whose works include practice and theory of individual psychology.
04:55He emphasised the importance of birth order and feelings of worth and belonging in a family to the development of
05:01personality and introduced the concept of an inferiority complex.
05:06Alliterative?
05:08I don't think it's just a psychologist. I don't know.
05:12Do you have a guess?
05:13No.
05:13Adler.
05:13Let's just pass.
05:14Adam Adler.
05:15Can't accept that, guys. I'm so sorry. Badler. It's Alfred Adler. Badler.
05:19Secondly, another psychologist born 1897 in Austria-Hungary, a pioneer of infant and young child psychology, she developed a model
05:27of child development known as the separation-individuation model.
05:31Um, no, I don't know. I think it's fine or fine. Are there any women psychologists?
05:36Pass it, yeah.
05:37Uh, Barnett?
05:39No, it's Margaret Mahler.
05:40Finally, born in Frankfurt in 1902, a psychologist known for a theory of personality in which people progress through stages
05:47in which the ego is pulled between what he labelled virtues and psychosocial crises.
05:52He also coined the term identity crisis.
05:55This is a tough round.
05:59If we haven't got anything, we should keep it moving.
06:00Go for a genitalist.
06:01Go for Freud first.
06:02Yeah, go for it.
06:03Freud.
06:04No, it's Eric Erickson.
06:05Now, let's start the question.
06:05In mathematics, what seven-letter adjective can precede all of the following?
06:11Graph, to indicate a graph where, for every induced subgraph, the clique number equals the chromatic number.
06:18Group, to refer to a group...
06:19Manchester metric.
06:21Complete.
06:21No, I'm afraid you'll lose five points.
06:23To refer to a group equal to its commutator subgroup.
06:26Information, to refer to a class of game in which players move alternately and each player is completely informed of
06:32all previous moves.
06:33and number, to indicate a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper divisors.
06:40You feel like it a Baldwin.
06:41Perfect.
06:42It is perfect.
06:43Well done.
06:43We're going to introduce you, Shaila, on the work of historian Timothy Snyder.
06:47Subtitled 20 Lessons from the 20th Century, Snyder's 2017 book about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States is
06:54titled On What Concept?
06:56In it, Snyder quotes James Madison's remark that this concept rises, quote,
07:00on some favourable emergency.
07:02It's not on the evil or something.
07:03It's on favourable emergency.
07:04Favourable emergency?
07:06He's doing, like, authoritarianism, right?
07:07Opportunism or something?
07:08Yeah, he does that authoritarianism, like...
07:10That's what he mentioned, isn't it?
07:11A concept?
07:13Democracy?
07:14No.
07:15On evil?
07:15I don't know.
07:17No, it's tyranny.
07:17Evil?
07:18No, it's tyranny.
07:19Snyder's 2008 book, The Red Prince, The Secret Lives of a Habsburg Archduke, centres on which historical
07:25figure and his efforts to establish a kingdom of Ukraine during World War I?
07:29During World War I, I'd go, like, Petliura, was it?
07:34I don't know who's going to say that.
07:35Can I nominate you?
07:36Sure.
07:37Nominate Lee.
07:37Petliura?
07:38No, it's arch-shoot Wilhelm Franz of Austria.
07:41Oh.
07:41Snyder has written extensively on the intellectual and cultural history of which nation in books
07:45such as nationalism, Marxism and modern Central Europe and sketches from a secret war, which
07:51centre on the thinker Kazimierz Kellis-Krauss and the artist Henrik Jusevski.
07:55I think this is Poland.
07:56Sounds Poland.
07:57Yeah?
07:57Yeah.
07:57Poland?
07:58It is Poland.
07:59Well done.
07:59I'm going to start with a question and it's a picture round now.
08:01For your picture starter, you're going to see a map on which a British city has been marked.
08:05For ten points, I need you to give me the name of that city.
08:11Manchester Manchwick.
08:12Cardiff.
08:13No.
08:13Anyone from UCL, you may not confer.
08:15UCL Doherty.
08:16Swansea.
08:17No, it's Newport.
08:18We'll take your picture bonuses in just a moment when we get the next starter right.
08:22What in motion appears in the titles of all the following films?
08:26The final film, directed by Luis Buñuel, released in 1977, the 1952 directorial debut
08:32of Stanley Kubrick about a group of...
08:34UCL Doherty.
08:36Desire.
08:36It is Desire.
08:37Well done.
08:38For your picture starter, you saw the city of Newport in Wales, which was the site of
08:42the last major armed uprising in Great Britain, when a group of Chartists staged an insurgency
08:47in 1839.
08:49For your bonuses, you're going to see three more locations of notable Chartist protests
08:53and rebellions.
08:54Five points for each place you can name.
08:57First, this city, the location of an 1842 Chartist strike and riot.
09:04We're in Lancashire, so I think it's a bit south of Lancaster, but let's go Lancaster.
09:10Yeah, you sure?
09:11Not like Preston or something like that?
09:13No.
09:13OK, Lancaster?
09:14It's Preston.
09:15Oh!
09:16Secondly, this city, the site of an 1854 rebellion inspired by Chartist demands.
09:21Wait, is this like...?
09:22It's Australia.
09:22It's Australia.
09:23It's Australia.
09:23Yeah, it's Australia, right.
09:25So, what's down there, that's...
09:27It's not coastal.
09:29I really don't know.
09:31Is it Brisbane?
09:32Is it Melbourne?
09:33No, no, no.
09:34Is it coastal?
09:35Try, like, Adelaide?
09:37Yeah, OK.
09:38Or is it, like, Canberra?
09:39No, it's not Canberra.
09:40Adelaide?
09:40No, that's Ballarat.
09:41The rebellion was the Battle of the Eureka Stockade.
09:44Lastly, this modern-day city in which the so-called Battle of Montgomery's Tavern,
09:48claimed by some historians to have been part of a global Chartist movement,
09:51took place in 1837.
09:53OK, in Canada?
09:55This is in Canada.
09:56Is this, like, going to be Toronto?
09:59It's quite near the border.
10:00Shall we try that?
10:00Is that on the lake like that?
10:02Oh, I don't know that it is, but I'm...
10:04I don't really have anything better.
10:06Go with your guy.
10:07Toronto?
10:08Yes, it is Toronto.
10:09Well done.
10:09Nice start with the question.
10:10What European minority ethnic group that speaks two mutually intelligible,
10:14standardised varieties of a Slavic language most closely related to Czech,
10:18Slovak and Polish, descend from peoples who settled from the 5th century CE
10:22in the historical region of Lusatia, now in the eastern German states of Brandenburg
10:27and Saxony, where they've been historically referred to by German speakers as Wens.
10:34Pomeranians?
10:35No.
10:36Anyone from UCL have a guess?
10:38No, I tell you, it's a Sorbs.
10:40Another starter question.
10:42The monumental winter landscape, Bigger Trees Near Water, completed in 2007.
10:46A 2025 self-portrait titled Play Within a Play Within a Play and Me With a Cigarette,
10:51and a number of works executed on an iPad during the COVID-19 lockdown.
10:55UCL Campion died.
10:56David Hockney.
10:57It is David Hockney, well done.
10:59Your bonuses are on terms coined by the 19th century academic William Huell.
11:03What adjective did Huell coin in a review of the ideas of Charles Lyle
11:06to describe the doctrine that Earth's geologic processes are relatively unchanging?
11:11He contrasted it with catastrophist, a word also of his own invention.
11:17So it's something to do with sort of being more like long-term, more like stable.
11:20It's like stable earth.
11:21I don't know that it's quite...
11:23I think it's just a single word.
11:24It's an est, like statist or something.
11:25Oh, no, it's not coming.
11:29Gaia, Gaia hypothesis.
11:30No, it's not like that.
11:31It sounds like Lovelock, that's way later.
11:33I don't know.
11:33I don't know.
11:35Statist?
11:35No, it's uniformitarian.
11:37What two Greek-derived words did Huell suggest to Michael Faraday in a letter of 1834,
11:42stating that they, quote,
11:43signify eastern and western way and imply rising and setting more simply than Faraday's original terms?
11:51If it's eastern, western, oriental and occidental, I mean, those terms probably precede him.
11:55But for Faraday, yeah.
11:57It's like anode and cathode.
11:58It's like flux.
11:59Anode and cathode, yes.
11:59Oh, wait, because I'm going to be cited.
12:01Anode and cathode?
12:02Yes, well done.
12:02In a review also written in 1834 of a book by Mary Samoville,
12:06what word did Huell first use to describe, quote,
12:09students of the knowledge of the material world collectively?
12:12He also suggested nature peeper as a possible alternative.
12:16Scientist?
12:17I mean...
12:18Oh, yes, he did coin the word scientist.
12:20Did he?
12:20Yeah, that was Hughie.
12:20Scientist.
12:21It's correct.
12:21Well done.
12:22Let's start with a question.
12:24In the Olympics, what race was first run by women in Amsterdam in 1928,
12:29with German Lina Radke winning gold?
12:31The race's intense finish led organisers to declare it too long for women to run in.
12:35UCL champion die.
12:37The 400 metres.
12:38I'm afraid you lose five points.
12:39And the event was for men only until 1960,
12:42when Lyudmila Lysenko won gold for the Soviet Union
12:44with a then world record time of two minutes and 4.3 seconds.
12:49Manchester Dixon.
12:501,500 metres?
12:52No, it's 800 metres.
12:53Down the middle.
12:54Bad luck.
12:54No starter question.
12:55What Latin-derived name is given to the fluid produced by the mammary glands
12:59during the first stage of lactogenesis during pregnancy
13:02that can be expressed from the breast from the third trimester
13:05and continues to be produced in the first few days?
13:09UCL Doherty.
13:10Clostrum.
13:10It is indeed, yeah.
13:11Your bonuses are on art in the 18th century.
13:15In the 1720s, the Venetian artist Rosalba Carriera popularised the use of what artist's material
13:21in France?
13:22It comprises pigments bound with gum or resin and moulded into sticks similar to coloured
13:26chalks.
13:28Pastels.
13:29Pastels.
13:32Pastels is great.
13:34A self-portrait of Swiss pastel painter Jean-Étienne Lyotard depicts him in a loose-fitting robe
13:39and thick beard.
13:40A legacy of his time in which eastern Mediterranean city, then the capital of a major empire?
13:46It's called the Tantanil, called Istanbul.
13:48Yeah.
13:49That's not Mediterranean, though.
13:50No, it's not really, no.
13:53Of a major empire?
13:55I mean, I don't know.
13:57In the 1720s?
13:59Eastern Mediterranean.
14:01Beirut?
14:02Yeah.
14:02That's not a capital of an empire.
14:04Come on.
14:05Constantinople?
14:05It was Constantinople, yeah.
14:06He was known as the Turkish painter.
14:08A lost pastel portrait by Adelaide Labil Guillard of which radical Jacobin, executed in 1794,
14:15had the label, The Incorruptible, one of the first recorded uses of this epithet for this
14:19figure.
14:21Is it...
14:22Is it...
14:22So, it could be Rosalba, but I think it might be Sanjust.
14:25Any strong feelings for Wahid, either way?
14:27I don't know, but I just feel like I wouldn't have thought about it.
14:29Who have you got?
14:29Sanjust.
14:30No, I'm only at Campion Dine.
14:31Sanjust?
14:32No, it's Robespierre.
14:32Good luck.
14:33Now, let's start the question.
14:35What Christian denomination links the family of Ephraim Tellwright in Arnold Bennett's
14:39Anna of the Five Towns with Diana Morris, a preacher in George Eliot's Adam Bede?
14:44Originating in the 18th century, it saw growth in Wales, Cornwall and industrial areas...
14:48Manchester Merchwick, Methodist.
14:50It's correct.
14:51Well done.
14:52Good questions for you on a British film.
14:55Directed by Robert Hamer, which 1949 film centres on the ambitious Louis Mazzini as he
14:59attempts to murder various members of the Daskoin family, all eight of whom are played
15:03by Alec Guinness in order to secure a dukedom?
15:06Oh, my God.
15:07Never heard of this.
15:0849.
15:09Yeah.
15:10Do you have anything?
15:11No, I'm sorry.
15:12Pass.
15:12It's Kind Hearts and Coronets.
15:13What day of the week is mentioned in the title of the film Hamer directed immediately
15:17prior to Kind Hearts and Coronets?
15:19Widely seen as a precursor to later Kitchen Sink realist films, it depicts the flight of
15:23an escaped convict as he attempts to hide out in the East End.
15:27Well, one in seven shots, yeah.
15:29Seven in seven shots.
15:31Friday?
15:32I've got no idea.
15:33When did you see Wednesday?
15:35Sorry, I feel...
15:36I don't know.
15:38Thursday.
15:39Thursday.
15:40No, it's Sunday, as in it always rains on Sunday.
15:41Sunday, both It Always Rains on Sunday and Kind Hearts and Coronets were produced by a
15:46studio named for which London borough best known for its namesake comedies, including
15:49Passport to Pimlico and Whiskey Galore?
15:51Ealing.
15:52It is Ealing, yes.
15:53Let's start with question, and it's a music round.
15:55For your music starter, you're going to hear a song from the 2010s.
15:58For ten points, I need you to name the band you hear playing.
16:04Manchester Faulkner.
16:05Fontaine, DC.
16:06Yes.
16:08Well done for kids with your composure as your captain nearly jumped out of the
16:11studio.
16:12For your music starter, you heard Fontaine's DC's Liberty Bell, which was produced and
16:17mixed by songwriter and producer Dan Carey.
16:19For your music bonuses, three more tracks produced by Carey.
16:22Five points for each band you can name.
16:24First.
16:27It's like me!
16:29Like me.
16:31Second, yes.
16:32Secondly.
16:35That's this.
16:37Oh, squid.
16:38Yes.
16:38You're so excited, I'm struggling to hear the answer.
16:40It's so good!
16:41Well done.
16:42Lastly.
16:45That was good until that.
16:53It's like around this.
16:55Oh.
16:56Oh.
16:58Stop.
16:59Stop wet leg.
17:00I was going to say that.
17:01Wet leg.
17:01It could be that.
17:02Wet leg?
17:02Yes, it is wet leg.
17:03Well done.
17:04Let's start the question.
17:06Born in the seventh century BCE, which Greek philosopher is the oldest figure mentioned
17:11in physicist Tuomo Suntola's textbook, The Short History of Science, which refers to him
17:16as, quote, the grandfather of the scientific tradition in Western culture?
17:20Suntola later discusses this man's theory of an archae, or fundamental substance.
17:25Use your campion, die.
17:27Failures of melatus.
17:28It is indeed.
17:28Well done.
17:29Your bonuses are on members of the Göttingen Seven, a group of professors at the University
17:34of Göttingen who were dismissed after protesting against the annulment of Hanover's constitution.
17:38In each case, I need you to name the professor from a description.
17:42First, the German physicist who, along with Carl Gauss, invented the first electromagnetic
17:47telegraph.
17:48He gives his name to the SI unit of magnetic flux.
17:52Oh, flux?
17:54Wait, so that's, oh, God.
17:59I'm thinking it's like Helmholtz, but that's not correct.
18:02I mean, that's German sounding.
18:03Yeah, that's not the unit of flux.
18:05You haven't got anything else.
18:08Helmholtz?
18:08No, that's Wilhelm Weber.
18:10Secondly, the group's leader, a German nationalist whose ideas played a large role in the proposed
18:15constitution to unite Germany, put forth by the Frankfurt National Assembly in 1849.
18:20Do you have anything for this?
18:22Another scientist.
18:23No idea.
18:23He's a scientist, but also a German nationalist.
18:25I mean, I just don't think, yeah.
18:26Yeah, I don't know.
18:27Could be Helmholtz?
18:28No, it's Friedrich Dahlmann.
18:30Lastly, a pair of linguists and folklorists who were later offered posts at the University
18:34of Berlin.
18:34One of them had published his Deutsche Mythology while in Göttingen.
18:38Their surname is enough.
18:39It is the Brothers Grimm.
18:40Oh, Grimm.
18:41It is the Brothers Grimm.
18:42Well done.
18:43Let's start the question.
18:44In Mexican cuisine, the word nopalis refers to the edible leaves of...
18:48Newseal Doherty.
18:49Cactus.
18:50Yes, absolutely right.
18:51Well done.
18:51Your bonuses are three questions on a book.
18:54What two-word term is the title of a 1998 book by Paul Anastas and John Warner, which the
19:00authors describe as, quote, a fundamental methodology for changing the intrinsic nature of a chemical
19:05product or process so that it is inherently of less risk to human health and the environment?
19:10Um, I don't, I don't know.
19:12I kind of missed the start of it.
19:14Um, just like a term for this process, basically.
19:18Come on.
19:19Um, sanitising?
19:20No, it's green chemistry.
19:21An example of a green reaction given in the book is the production of which class of organic
19:26compounds without the use of halogenated intermediates?
19:29The authors describe the traditional method for making these compounds as requiring, quote,
19:33chlorination of benzene, followed by nitration and nucleophilic displacement of the chlorine
19:38with a new substituting group.
19:41Like polyphenols, maybe?
19:44Or, yeah?
19:45Yeah?
19:46Okay.
19:46Polyphenols?
19:47Aromatic amines.
19:49Designing safer chemicals is the subject of a section of the book titled,
19:52Minimising What Quantity, typically defined as the proportion of a drug that enters circulation?
19:58Does it?
19:59Well, like, would it be, like, not severity or something similar to that?
20:03Exposure?
20:04Like that.
20:04Exposure?
20:05Oh, exposure.
20:06Mm.
20:07They might have a drug that enters.
20:08Well, isn't even a drug that enters.
20:09Like, tonicity or something?
20:10I don't know.
20:11Come on.
20:13Uh, exposure?
20:14No, it's bioavailability.
20:15Eight minutes to go.
20:16Fingers on buzzers.
20:17The Linimo in Japan, the Shanghai Transrapid in China, and...
20:22Manchester Magic.
20:23McLeod.
20:23Well done.
20:24It is indeed.
20:25Your bonuses, Manchester, are on low-seeded or unseeded players who reached the late stages
20:30of Grand Slam tennis tournaments in 2024.
20:33The 25th seed that year, which Italian player reached the semi-finals of the Wimbledon men's
20:38singles competition in 2024, where he lost to Novak Djokovic?
20:42Oh, no.
20:42Do you have a name?
20:43I was going to say Berrettini, but it won't be him.
20:46I don't think.
20:47If we've got nothing else.
20:48No, Berrettini.
20:49Berrettini.
20:49No, it's not him.
20:50It's Musetti.
20:51Which unseeded Croatian player reached the semi-finals of the women's singles competition
20:55at Wimbledon in 2024, where she lost to Jasmine Paolini?
20:59That same year, she won a silver medal at the Paris Olympics, losing in the final to
21:03Zheng Chinwen.
21:04Nothing.
21:04I wouldn't know it.
21:05Von Drusova, but I think she's Czech.
21:07Uh, not it.
21:08Faulkner.
21:08Von Drusova.
21:09That was Donna Vekic.
21:10Which British player made it to the semi-finals of the men's singles competition at the 2024
21:14US Open, having entered the tournament seeded 25th?
21:17He ended the year as the British number one.
21:19Uh, Jack Draper.
21:20Jack Draper.
21:21Yes, it is.
21:22Let's start a question, and it's a picture round.
21:23For your picture starter, you're going to see an image of an athlete.
21:27For ten points, I need you to give me his name.
21:31UCL Doherty.
21:32Fred Perry.
21:33No, you may not confirm Manchester.
21:38Manchester Mantwick.
21:39Roger Bannister.
21:39It is Roger Bannister.
21:40Yes, well done.
21:42For your picture starter, you saw Roger Bannister, who was runner-up for the BBC's first ever
21:45Sports Personality of the Year Award in 1954, the same year he ran his sub four-minute mile.
21:52For your picture bonuses, three more athletes who were runners-up for Sports Personality of
21:56the Year in the same year that they had a major achievement in their sport.
22:00Five points for each you can name.
22:02First, this 1965 runner-up.
22:05What sport is that?
22:07Absolutely no idea.
22:08I mean, do we even have a guess here?
22:11No, I can't.
22:12We should just pass, then.
22:13Yeah, pass.
22:14That's Jim Clark.
22:15It's the same year he won the Formula One World Drivers' Championship and the Indianapolis
22:18500.
22:19Secondly, this runner-up in 1998 and 2000.
22:23Oh.
22:24Uh, Denise Lewis.
22:25Yeah.
22:25Is that Denise Lewis?
22:26Yeah.
22:27Yeah.
22:27Nomad O'Klopner.
22:27Denise Lewis.
22:28Yeah.
22:282000 is the year she set the then British record in the heptathlon.
22:32And lastly, this 2021 runner-up.
22:34Tom Daley.
22:35Tom Daley.
22:35That is Tom Daley, yes.
22:37He won gold with Matthew Lee in the men's synchronised 10-metre platform diving at the Tokyo Olympics.
22:42And he also became the first Brit to win four Olympic diving medals.
22:47Ten points in it.
22:47Provinces known as Sookt and Katlon, as well as the districts under Republic subordination,
22:53are three of the primary subdivisions of which country, whose territory also includes the autonomous region of Gorno-Badakshan,
22:59in which can be found a large section of the Pamir Mountains.
23:03You see all do a team.
23:04Armenia.
23:05No.
23:07Manchester metric.
23:08Tajikistan.
23:08It is Tajikistan, yes.
23:09It's a level.
23:10Three questions on the northeast Caucasian languages.
23:13What is the most spoken language of the northeast Caucasian languages, with approximately 1.8 million speakers,
23:19the majority of whom are to be found in a republic of the Russian Federation bordering Georgia?
23:24So, bordering Georgia?
23:26I was going to say Dagestan, but I think that's wrong.
23:28I think that's on the other side.
23:29What's bordering?
23:30What's the other one?
23:32I can't think of anything else.
23:33Do you have anything?
23:34No, sorry.
23:36Dagestani.
23:36Chechen.
23:37What language closely related to Chechen in the Nakh branch of the family is an official language of a neighbouring
23:42republic
23:42of the Russian Federation to the west of Chechnya?
23:45It's just the west.
23:46For God's sake, none of these are going to be Dagestan.
23:48I don't even think it's called Kechen.
23:50It's the west.
23:52Yeah.
23:52Asecian or something, because it got south of the Seychelles.
23:54I was going to say it could be Asecian, too, yeah.
23:56Asecian.
23:56No, it's English.
23:57Avar, the second most spoken language of the family, is primarily spoken in what republic of the Russian Federation
24:02to the east of Chechnya on the Caspian Sea?
24:05It's this, Dagestan.
24:06Yeah.
24:07Dagestan.
24:08It is, although it's pronounced Dagestan.
24:10We'll take that.
24:11Right, now let's start the question.
24:13Exposition, development and recapitulation are typically the three main sections of what form of instrumental music
24:20common in this structure since the early classical period.
24:23Its name is derived from a Latin word meaning to sound, distinguishing it from the sung cantata.
24:28You feel like a de Baldwin.
24:30Sonata.
24:30Yes.
24:31Your bonus is your three questions on songs inspired by the 1992 riots in Los Angeles.
24:36Released on a posthumous 1997 album, Are You Still Down, the song Hellraiser is by what rapper?
24:41He's one of many songs by this artist to mention the 1991 killing of Latasha Harlins, one of the events
24:46that led to the riots.
24:48I mean, if it's like a posthumous one of a rapper, like maybe like Easy E or something?
24:51Yeah, or Tupac.
24:54But where's the location of this, was it?
24:55This is L.A.
24:56L.A. I mean, they're both.
24:57I'd go Easy over Tupac.
24:59Easy E.
24:59No, it is Tupac.
25:00Inspired by experiences of staying in L.A. during the 1992 riots, Black Tie, White Noise is the title track
25:06of a 1993 album by which British artist?
25:09Yeah.
25:10David Bowie.
25:10David Bowie?
25:11Yes.
25:12When will they shoot and Who Got the Camera?
25:13Both feature on The Predator, a 1992 album by which rapper and former member of NWA?
25:19This could just be like Ice Cube, maybe, or it sounds like his sort of vibe.
25:24Yeah, yeah.
25:24Ice Cube?
25:25Yes, it is.
25:26Now, let's start with the question.
25:27What three-word title links both these works?
25:30First, a trilogy of Japanese films directed by Masaki Kobayashi.
25:34Manchester Magic.
25:35The Human Condition.
25:36Well done.
25:36Your bonuses are on physics.
25:38Each part relates to a situation in which power, in the physical sense, depends on another quantity raised to a
25:44certain power, in the mathematical sense.
25:46According to the Stefan Boltzmann law, the power emitted as electromagnetic radiation by a black-body radiator depends on temperature
25:54raised to what power?
25:55Four.
25:56Yes.
25:56Assuming constant aerodynamic drag coefficient, the power required to drive an aircraft in straight-level flight depends on speed to
26:03what power?
26:04I don't know.
26:05It could be two.
26:06Two.
26:06I don't know why I was going to say two.
26:07Two.
26:07No, it's three.
26:08By Ohm's and Joule's laws, the power dissipated in a resistor is proportional to voltage raised to what power?
26:15Voltage.
26:15It's just owned or it's just, um...
26:18Wait, no, it's just one, isn't it?
26:20It's just one.
26:21One?
26:21No, it's two.
26:22Let's start a question.
26:23Prior to his death in prison in 1924, Manuel Estrada Cabrera had served as the president of which country from
26:301898 to 1920?
26:32His time in office saw him grant large tracts of land to the American-owned United Fruit Company.
26:37Manchester Magic.
26:38Guatemala.
26:38It is Guatemala, yes.
26:39Your bonuses are on Asian rivers.
26:41More than 2,000 kilometres in length, the Irrawaddy River lies entirely within the territory of what country, flowing roughly
26:47north-south into a delta on the Andaman Sea?
26:49Myanmar.
26:50Yes.
26:50Also emptying into the Andaman Sea, what river flows through south-west China, where it is known as the New
26:55Jiang?
26:55Its lower course forms part of the border between Myanmar and Thailand.
26:58Uh, wait, sorry, it won't be a Chinese name.
27:00Border between Myanmar and Thailand?
27:02Uh, Chiaupriya.
27:03No.
27:04Do you find it by nominate you?
27:05Come on.
27:05Nominate power.
27:06Chiaupriya.
27:06No, now, Salwin.
27:07What river enters Myanmar from south-west China, where it is known as the Lansangjiang?
27:12It forms the border between northeast Myanmar and Laos and is more than 4,000 kilometres in length.
27:16It's just going to be the Mekong, right?
27:18Yeah, I'm telling you.
27:18Mekong.
27:19Yes.
27:19Another starter question.
27:20Answer, as soon as your name is called, giving any two of the three isotopes that the IUPAC allows to
27:26be identified by name,
27:27rather than by the traditional superscript...
27:29Manchester Magic.
27:30Deuterium, tritium.
27:31Yes, the other one is proteium.
27:32Three questions on the German author and dramatist Friedrich Schiller, born in 1759.
27:37Schiller's early play, The Robbers, is an example of what literary movement characterised by its emphasis on feeling and individuality?
27:42I need a three-word term in German or English.
27:45Uh, so, like, like, new German romanticism?
27:47New German, yeah.
27:48No, no, no.
27:49What was the English name?
27:50I don't know.
27:51New German romanticism.
27:52No, Sturmund Drang.
27:53In the early 1790, Schiller published a history of what 17th century conflict, his later stage work, Wallenstein,
27:59concerns a leading military commander in this war?
28:01I've carded this.
28:03It's the...
28:0417th century?
28:0530 years war, I'm totally sure.
28:0617th century.
28:08And the answer to the rest of the words of 30 years war.
28:10And that has gone UCL at 120 and Manchester at 150.
28:15That seems so brutal.
28:17That seems so brutal.
28:18You were ahead for so long, UCL, and just in the last five minutes, they pulled even and then away.
28:23I'm so sorry.
28:24It means we're going to have to say goodbye.
28:26Has it been a vaguely enjoyable journey, albeit a sad conclusion?
28:28Yeah, it's been great.
28:29Well, we've loved having you, and Jeremy Bentham, your wonderful mascot as well.
28:33Manchester, you've got to start more strongly in future.
28:36You've got to really turn up in the first 15 minutes or so and not make it so stressful.
28:40But it was a fantastic match.
28:41You're not there yet in the semifinals.
28:43We've got to see you play one more quarterfinal, which you have to win if you want to get through.
28:46But until then, it is goodbye.
28:48From UCL.
28:49Goodbye.
28:50It's goodbye from Manchester.
28:51Goodbye.
28:51And it's goodbye from me.
28:53Goodbye.
28:54Goodbye.
28:54Goodbye.
29:08Goodbye.
29:10Goodbye.
29:12Goodbye.
29:14Goodbye.
29:16Goodbye.
29:16Goodbye.
29:17Goodbye.
29:17Goodbye.
29:19Goodbye.
29:21Goodbye.
29:22Goodbye.
29:22Goodbye.
29:23Goodbye.
29:23Goodbye.
29:24Goodbye.
29:24You
