00:17Thank you so much for watching.
00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio on Kid Inventors Day, a day devoted to all the inventions by
00:38young people.
00:39Let me ask you whether you believe that earmuffs, Rachel, were actually invented by a 15-year-old Chester Greenwood.
00:45People have been sort of covering their ears up since, you know, the frosts first arrived.
00:50But there we are. Chester claims it, as indeed does George Nissen claim the invention of the trampoline.
00:57As recently as 1930, when he was just 16 years old, I wonder if he also invented the Nissen hut.
01:04But I think that was possibly invented before 1930. I don't know.
01:09How about Cassidy Goldstein? At the age of 11, he invented crayon holders.
01:13And joy of joys, Richie Stowowski, also 11, invented a device for talking underwater.
01:20It's called the water talkie.
01:23How about that? What have you invented? Come along.
01:26When I was younger, I invented the pita bread pizza, which is a family classic, bit of pita bread, cover
01:31it in tomato puree, bit of cream cheese.
01:35Perfect.
01:36Whatever you can find in the fridge. And I had an idea for an invention that never took off.
01:39What was that?
01:40Of arm tights.
01:41So you won't understand this as a man, but obviously as ladies in the winter, we often wear tights with
01:46whatever outfit.
01:47Your arms are often exposed. There's too many dresses with just, you know, no sleeves.
01:51Especially, you know, my mum and other generations, you want to cover your arms.
01:54So arm tights.
01:56Perfect.
01:56Someone needs to make them.
01:57Well, you cannot patent that idea as soon as you can.
02:00I didn't invent anything other than, other than a technique for entering a house through the transom windows.
02:10Those are those very little narrow windows that are on top of big windows.
02:13You open them that way.
02:14And it's a technique that I perfected.
02:17It's, in a sense, a cat burglar technique.
02:21I was able to dive through head first because I didn't have a key at home.
02:24And were you getting into people's properties or getting out?
02:27No, I was getting into home, actually.
02:28I only tried it at home.
02:29They've invented keys for that.
02:31We weren't given a key.
02:33So I would arrive home in the small hours and I was able to glide through the window first.
02:39Brilliant technique.
02:40Mary, how are you feeling after two good wins?
02:44Two wins on 87 points.
02:46Yes.
02:47You feeling happy?
02:48I'm happy I've won two, yes.
02:50I think you've played with extraordinary calm and efficiency.
02:54But now you're confronted by Graham Drybrook-Cook, a faculty leader in, I think, maths and accounting.
03:02Yep.
03:03At the Clifton Hall School.
03:05You're from Mark Inch in Fife.
03:07Yeah.
03:07Rugby player.
03:08For years and years and years, you were a prop.
03:10Big bloke like you was a prop.
03:12Yeah.
03:12Well, you've got to have the position where you don't have to run a lot, do you?
03:15Just sit there and push folk.
03:16How's your neck?
03:18It's not too bad.
03:19Yeah?
03:19No arthritis yet?
03:20Not yet.
03:21It's a tough old position, that grinding away in the scrum.
03:24Gives you an excuse to eat lots.
03:25I suppose so.
03:26All right.
03:27But now you referee for the Scottish Rugby Union.
03:30Yep.
03:30Yeah, that's a lot of fun.
03:31Always, always up in Scotland.
03:33Yeah.
03:34It's great fun.
03:35I'm a teacher, so I get to tell the kids what to do during the day.
03:37And then when I referee at the weekend, I get to tell adults off.
03:39Well done.
03:40Good luck to you both.
03:41Graham and Mary, big round of applause.
03:49And over in the corner, Susie, of course, joined once again by Raj Bisram, fine art and
03:53antiques expert and indeed auctioneer.

11:58Um, mounted, um, with a silent K. So K-N-O-U-T-E-D. In Imperial Russia, a whip
12:05used to inflict punishment was a knout. Um, and to knout somebody was very nasty indeed. Whoa. Those days I

13:28done. Well done, Mary. Did you teach maths when you were teaching, Mary?
13:37I did, yes. I thought you might. Only in primary school.
13:41Well, you certainly mastered it. Very good. 41 plays 21. We turn now to Raj. Raj, your job. Wonderful job.
13:49You travel the country visiting beautiful houses, locking on the door and valuing great antiques.
13:54I suppose you run into interesting situations from time to time.
13:58Lots of interesting situations. Well, as you say, I am very lucky to be able to go around the country.
14:03But there is a story about something that happened actually locally to us.
14:08And I'm always a bit wary when I go on valuations, especially if, you know, when it comes to dogs,
14:14because I've actually been bitten a couple of times.
14:16So whenever I get to a place, I always have a little look to see if there's a dog there.
14:19I arrived at this farmhouse in Benenden and parked the car up.
14:25They knew I was coming and had a lovely wrought iron gate, nice path that led to the entrance of
14:31the farmhouse.
14:32And I went in through the gate. And as soon as I got in through the gate,
14:36I could see this dog running around the corner of the farmhouse coming towards me.
14:39And I thought, oh, no, here we go again. But luckily, it was wagging its tail.
14:44And, you know, I love dogs. You know, we've got a dog. We've always had a dog.
14:47So I started stroking it and we became friends and it followed me to the front door.
14:52I knocked on the door and Mrs. Harrington opened the door.
14:56She knew I was coming, welcomed me in and the dog came in.
14:59And I spent the next half an hour going around the house looking at some beautiful pieces of oak.
15:05They were actually selling all of it because they were emigrating.
15:09They were moving, moving abroad. And we ended up in the sitting room.
15:14Lovely ingle nook. And there was a painting above the ingle nook.
15:17And I knew the artist. So by this time, Mr. Harrington had joined us as well.
15:21So there were three of us and we were looking at the painting and I was chatting about it.
15:26And I could see out of the corner of my eye that their dog had cocked its leg
15:32and was peeing all over one of the pieces of furniture.
15:35And I thought, you know, it's a bit embarrassing, but they're going to say something.
15:39And they didn't say a word. They never said anything.
15:41And I thought, it's not for me to say anything. So I just carried on.
15:45But I thought I'd better start to say my goodbye.
15:49So I told her the procedure. I said, look, I'll get back to the office.
15:53I'll have a look when the porters are available.
15:56And I'll give you a ring and arrange to come and pick everything up.
15:59And she said, yep, no problem at all.
16:00So her and her husband showed us to the door.
16:03I went down the path. The dog went back in the garden.
16:06I got into the car, drove back to the office.
16:08And I said to the girl in the office, I said, when are the porters in next?
16:12And she said, they'll be in tomorrow.
16:15And I said, are they free in the morning?
16:16She said, yep.
16:17And I said, well, in that case, I'm going to give Mr and Mrs Harrington a ring
16:20and see if we can arrange to pick up all the items in the morning around 10 o'clock.
16:24I get on the phone.
16:26Hello, Mrs Harrington. Hello, Raj.
16:28Is it OK if the porters come tomorrow about 10 o'clock to pick up all the items?
16:33She said, absolutely no problem whatsoever.
16:36She said, but this time, do you mind not bringing your dog with you?
16:42No.
16:44God knows where the dog would come from.
16:45How funny.
16:52No, your dog.
16:54What a lovely story.
16:5540 plays 21.
16:56Mary in the lead.
16:57Mary, your letters go.

18:13One letter can do wonders.
18:15Now, Raj?
18:16Yes, we had boxier and boxer as well.
18:18And Susie?
18:19I don't think any better.
18:20No, really trying to use the three R's and failing.
18:24So, Graham, your letters go.
18:27Rachel, I'll start with a consonant, please.
18:29Thank you, Graham.

19:35Graham?
19:36A tartan.
19:37Now, Mary.
19:39Haunter.
19:40Haunter is absolutely fine.
19:43No problem with that at all.
19:44Very good.
19:45Unfortunately, two A's for tartan, I'm afraid, Graham.
19:48Easily done.
19:49Now, Raj.
19:50We've got retort.
19:52Yes.
19:53Susie?
19:54Yes, that would give you an eight.
19:56Very good.
19:56Yes.
19:57And we leave it there?
19:58That was our best.
19:59Well done.
19:59Fifty-three plays, twenty-one, and it's Mary's numbers game.
20:03Now, Mary.
20:05The usual, please, Rachel.
20:06One large one and five small ones.
20:08Thank you, Mary Rush.
20:09No bye-no.
20:10On Big Five Little, your speciality.
20:12And this time around, we have five, ten, two, seven, three.
20:18And the big one, one hundred.
20:20And the target to reach, six hundred and nine.
20:23Six, oh, nine.
20:54And we'll be right back.
20:56Mary?
20:57609.
20:58Graham?
20:59609.
21:00Mary?
21:012 times 3 is 6.
21:03Multiply it by 100 to get 600.
21:06And then 10 over 5 is 2.
21:09Add it to the 7 for 9 and add it on.
21:12Perfect. 609.
21:13And Graham?
21:14Yeah.
21:14Same way?
21:15Same way?
21:16Yeah.
21:17Yeah.
21:22So 63 plays Graham's 31 as we turn to our second tea time teaser,
21:27which is Krauss' helm and the clue.
21:30Her bracelet matches her personality.
21:33There's not a lot to it.
21:35Her bracelet matches her personality.
21:38There's not a lot to it.
21:56Welcome back.
21:57I left with a clue.
21:57Her bracelet matches her personality.
21:59There's not a lot to it.
22:03It's charmless, sadly.
22:05Charmless.
22:06So 63 to 31.
22:08Mary in the lead.
22:09Graham, try this letters game.

23:33Dioramas.
23:34Dioramas?
23:35Yeah.
23:35Well done.
23:41Is that a visual?
23:43It is, yeah.
23:43It's like we, in the antiques world, again, you get them.
23:46They're made of boats, for example.
23:48A diorama of a boat, which is a half, you know, another section of a boat.
23:54Okay.
23:54A diorama.
23:5669 to 31.
23:58Mary, off we go.
24:00Start with a consonant, please.
24:02Thank you, Mary.
24:02F.
24:03And a second one?
24:05C.
24:06And a third one?

24:09And a vowel, please.

24:12And another vowel?
24:13E.
24:14And a third vowel?
24:16I.
24:17And a consonant, please.
24:19Z.
24:19And another consonant?
24:21L.
24:22And a final consonant?
24:24And a final D.
24:25Stand by.
24:26And a consonant, please.
24:57Mary. Just five.
24:59Graham? Five.
25:00And Mary's five? Filed.
25:03Filed and? Fuelled.
25:05Can we beat five, I wonder?
25:07Yep. We've got a six.
25:09I've got a six filmed and Susie's got a seven.
25:12Midlife.
25:13Ah, midlife.
25:15Those happy days of midlife.
25:1974 to 36. Susie, what have you
25:21today in your wonderful
25:23origins of words? I have an
25:25email, Nick, from Peter Cameron Waller
25:27who's curious to know the origin of
25:29the word recipe and
25:30he also wonders about the pronunciation
25:32because he says it sounds as though it comes from
25:35French but the way we speak
25:37it doesn't quite bear that out so
25:38here goes. It
25:41actually comes from Latin, not from French.
25:43It didn't travel through French and it is
25:45the imperative, so the command
25:46of reciproc, which means
25:49take or receive.
25:51And that might seem a little bit odd
25:52when we think about modern cookery recipes today
25:55until you know that the word first
25:56appeared in the 15th century at the top
25:58of medical prescriptions
26:00and they were the instruction
26:02to the patient to take the pills
26:04that were prescribed to them
26:05in order to cure
26:06their ills.
26:08In other words, this was the instruction
26:10from the pharmacist
26:11to the patient.
26:13Recipere, recipe,
26:15take.
26:16The pills
26:16incidentally, just as a side note,
26:18that they might be ordered to take
26:20could well have been tabloids
26:21because the first meaning
26:22of a tabloid was a small
26:24compressed tablet of medicine.
26:26But by the late 16th century
26:28recipe had begun to mean
26:30the prescription itself
26:31rather than the instruction
26:33to take it.
26:34And soon it was also being
26:35generally applied to notes
26:37for making a preparation
26:38of some kind
26:39or indeed a list of ingredients.
26:42And there's a letter from an archive
26:43of the personal history
26:45of an upper class family
26:46that spans centuries
26:47at the Vernies.
26:49And it includes a letter
26:50from a Sir Thomas Cave
26:51from 1716
26:53which says,
26:54Sister Lovett and I
26:55greatly admire the ink
26:56you wrote last with
26:57but dare not wish
26:59for the recipe
26:59it no doubt
27:00being a secret.
27:02Ink highly prized
27:04in those days clearly.
27:05But the leap
27:05from the commodity of ink
27:06perhaps to the commodity
27:07of food
27:08perhaps wasn't such
27:09a great one.
27:09And so the word
27:11was first recorded
27:11in the cooking sense
27:12in the middle
27:13of the 18th century.
27:15But looking back
27:16back to that original
27:16Latin recipere
27:17take or receive
27:19you can see
27:19where the modern
27:20pronunciation comes from
27:22to answer Peter's
27:23second question.
27:24And also that take
27:25you'll still find
27:26in recipes today
27:27it will say
27:28take two eggs
27:29for example.
27:30And incidentally
27:30if you've ever seen
27:31RX on a prescription
27:33which you can still
27:34find today
27:34that's the pharmacist's
27:36way of saying recipe.
27:37So in pharmaceuticals
27:38today in your local
27:39chemist
27:39the RX
27:40is an abbreviation
27:41for recipe
27:42so we still hold
27:43that 15th century
27:44meaning today.
27:44Very good.
27:48Excellent.
27:52Wonderful.
27:5574 to 36
