00:31Well, good afternoon. Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio. There's an extraordinary piece on the radio the other
00:37day about passwords. And apparently so few people really think about it. And the most common one is one, two,
00:43three, four, five, six, seven or whatever it is. But I had an IT guy come to see me. I
00:48called him in. I said, listen, I'm in trouble. I need to. We've all got all these passwords.
00:51Yes. So I invented lots. This cyber crime is terrible these days. What about the young kid? Little three year
00:59old is watching his dad on the computer and the dad goes off to do something or other.
01:02And the little chap clambers up onto the table and starts trying to put a password in to open it
01:08up. And the thing is, as you well know, if you put the in wrong password three times, you have
01:15to wait a certain length of time.
01:16And then you try again. And he went on and on. The father, he was out in the garden by
01:20this time, digging up turnips or something. When he came back, the little chap had entered it in correctly so
01:26many times.
01:26But apparently he'd have to wait for 25 million minutes, which is 48, 48 years until he could try again.
01:35How about that?
01:35What about you? Have you ever been locked out of your computer?
01:38I've done the same as you, Nick. I had a guy come round and tell me off about having passwords
01:42all the same on different various accounts.
01:44And I've got something now where it just keeps track of all of them. And you have to enter your
01:49thumb fingerprint every single time you want to put a password in.
01:53Because the worst thing is, if someone nicks your phone while you're on it and it's unlocked already, then they've
01:57got absolutely everything on you.
01:59They can get all your bank details and your address and your credit cards and absolutely everything. Danger. I love
02:05all your naked shots.
02:06You've broke me out in a sweat of terror now, Rachel. Stephen Mell, how are you?
02:11Good, thank you.
02:11Welcome back. Three great wins. Last one on another crucial conundrum. How are you feeling?
02:18Good, yeah.
02:18A-level student from York. You're playing really well. And now you're joined by Alan Tamer, a musician from London.
02:26And what sort of musician are you? What do you play or sing?
02:30Yeah, so I'm a singing piano player down in London, where I play with other piano players and also with
02:36a full live band.
02:37Taking requests all evening.
02:39Oh, that's fun. So the audience then shouts out, gives a bit of Chopin and off you go.
02:45Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:46You must have a big repertoire.
02:47Yeah, I had Moonlight, well, I had funnily enough Moonlight Sonata requested actually last week on the Saturday night,
02:54which kind of went well after we merged it with a bit of Earth, Wind and Fire.
02:59Excellent.
03:00All right. Let's have a big round of applause now for Stephen and Alan.

07:47No, let's leave that one with Stephen.
07:49Yes, Stephen?
07:51I did six minus five.
07:54Six minus five is one.
07:56Add that to the one and the seven.
07:58For nine.

13:02Thank you, Stephen.
13:04427.
13:04Off we go.
13:064 times 100.
13:074 times 100, 400.
13:09Plus 25.
13:1045.
13:11And 2.
13:12Straightforward, this one.
13:13And Stephen?
13:13Same way.
13:14Same way, of course.
13:15Yeah.
13:15All right.
13:17Very good.
13:17So 42 to 22, early days, nothing in it, as we turn to Dr. Linda.
13:23What have you got for us today, Linda?
13:24Well, today I thought I'd speak about patience.
13:27I don't know about you, but I'm finding myself becoming increasingly impatient.
13:31And I don't like that about myself.
13:32And I started doing some research into this, and I found that actually we're all becoming increasingly impatient.
13:38There's a couple of reasons for this.
13:39Part of it is this kind of drop-down and click-menu society that we live in, right?
13:44So we can have what we want quicker than ever before, pre-cut vegetables to, you know, getting stuff delivered
13:50the same day.
13:51And as a consequence, we kind of feel that sense of entitlement.
13:55We're also becoming much more kind of isolated in our own world, so we have less tolerance for each other.
14:01So I thought I'd kind of speak a little bit about, you know, what's going on and what we can
14:04do about it.
14:05Now, from an evolutionary point of view, patience is an interesting thing because you've got two parts of the brain
14:11working.
14:11You've got this lovely frontal lobe that's all about pro-social behavior and thinking about others.
14:16And then you've got that old part of the brain, the limbic system, that tells you what it wants, when
14:21it wants it, right?
14:21So, you know, it makes sense to kind of focus on these urges and relieve them.
14:26So you've got these sort of two parts of the brain in conflict.
14:30So what happens is we begin to feel that warm, anxious feeling when we're waiting in line, right?
14:35So what do we do?
14:36We begin to sort of cognitively distort how we're thinking about things.
14:40So I'm waiting in line to pay, and someone's having a conversation with the person serving them.
14:44So I begin to over-focus on what's happening, but also on my feelings.
14:49And what we do is when we focus on our feelings, we kind of seek solutions externally.
14:55So instead of trying to focus on, you know, maybe it's my perception of the problem that's the issue, we
15:00over-focus on the issue, and we inflate things.
15:03So there's a couple things we can do to help.
15:05I think the first one is to refocus your attention, right?
15:09So instead of, you know, looking at what's going wrong, kind of say to yourself, well, look, me huffing and
15:16puffing or getting really anxious isn't going to help.
15:18Instead, I'm going to try and breathe deeply, rather, try and calm myself.
15:23The second thing to remember is that it's really important in life in general to tolerate discomfort.
15:28Even though this isn't a comfortable situation, it's not something that's going to hurt me.
15:33And I think this is an important one.
15:34We don't always have to escape uncomfortable situations.
15:37In fact, tolerating them is a really important thing for kind of being healthy and happy in life in general.
15:43And then finally, and I think really importantly, it's about how you talk to yourself and others in those situations.
15:50You need to ask yourself, if I'm getting stressed and kind of imbuing that, and everyone else is kind of
15:55getting stressed as well, this is going to make the situation worse.
15:58Instead, what I can do is think about how my reaction is going to affect the situation, but also make
16:04the best use of it.
16:05So the other day when I was stuck in traffic, I was kind of finding myself really stressed and I,
16:10you know, really worrying about it.
16:11And then I thought, you know what, I'm going to put on my audio book that I like to listen
16:14to.
16:15Being stressed is not going to make me go any faster, but actually taking the time to do something positive
16:19will actually make me feel better.
16:21And it did.
16:22So I thought I'd share it.
16:23That's very useful.
16:26Interesting.
16:31I'm told I'm much more patient now than I used to be.
16:34Isn't that interesting?
16:35So over the years you've just become, do you use some of these skills?
16:37I've just got used to her, I think.
16:39Stop.
16:41Stop.
16:43There we are.
16:4442 to 22.
16:45Stephen in the lead.
16:46Stephen, your letters again.
16:48Consonant, please.
16:49Thank you, Stephen.
17:13And a final consonant, please.
17:16And a final R.
17:18Stand by.
17:21Stephen, your letters again.
17:22A final consonant, please.

17:54And your eight, Alan?

20:53And Alan?
20:54Exactly.
20:54There we go.
20:56All right.

21:04which is Super Polly, and the clue.
21:06He swapped her denture adhesive for super glue, but it was no accident.

22:54Six.
22:54A six. Stephen?
22:55Five.
22:56And your five is?
22:57Slime.
22:58Slime.
22:59Alan?
23:00Loaves.
23:03Loaves.
23:04Yes.
23:06Susie and Linda, what have you cooked up for us?
23:09We've got a good one.
23:10Oval eyes to make something oval.
23:12Is that a thing?
23:13Yes.
23:14And it sounds really strange, but apparently you can make the metal tubes of the frame of a bike oval
23:18to make it extra rigid.
23:20So it's used quite a lot in bicycle engineering.
23:23Oh, that's interesting, rather than just purely cylindrical.
23:26Yeah.
23:26How interesting.
23:28Nothing to do with oval teams, shouldn't we?
23:30No, forget that.
23:3266 plays 46.
23:34As we turn to Stephen.
23:36Stephen, let's have a letters game.
23:37Consonant, please.
23:39Thank you, Stephen.
23:40C.
23:41And another?
23:43N.
23:44A vowel?
23:45A.
23:47Another?
23:48I.
23:49A consonant?
23:50P.
23:52And another?
23:54R.
23:55A vowel?
23:56O.
23:58A consonant?
24:00S.
24:01And a final vowel, please.
24:04A final A.
24:07Stand by.
24:08A consonant?
24:11A consonant?
24:26A consonant?
24:26A consonant?
24:26A consonant?
24:41Yes, Stephen?
24:42Six.
24:43Alan?
24:44Six as well.
24:44Off we go.
24:45Stephen?
24:45Sprain.
24:46And?
24:47Same.
24:50Well done.
24:51And anything else in the corner there, Linda, Susie?
24:54Well, we got paranoia.
24:56Oh, good.
24:57Yeah.
24:58Yes, and actually you can put the S on it for people who are.
25:02So that would give you a nine.
25:03Excellent.
25:05Well done.
25:09Yes, down Linda Street.
25:11And the else?
25:11Yeah, there is another nine there, actually,
25:14which is to do with horse riding and an ornamental covering spread
25:17over a horse's saddle, and that's a caparison.
25:21Caparison.
25:22Caparison.
25:24Very interesting.
25:26A caparison.
25:27All right.
25:29So 72 to 52, Alan on 52, and it's Susie's Origins of Words.
25:34And today, Susie?
25:35Well, today I would like to give a nod to probably the person I would choose
25:40as the hero in terms of the work I do.
25:43He's been a hero for most of my life, I have to say,
25:46since I started to be interested in English,
25:48and that's David Crystal, who is just an amazing person who's written prolifically about English.
25:54And he just writes down his kind of observations, which is sometimes sort of quite rambling,
25:59but there's always a wonderful connection to them.
26:00They seem rambling, but actually they're really on point.
26:03And I was reading some the other day, and he reminded me of the importance of Tolkien.
26:08Now, Tolkien was an editor on the Oxford English Dictionary
26:11and famously wrote the entry for Walrus, which you will still find in the dictionary.
26:16But he really knew his Old English.
26:18He was a professor of Anglo-Saxon.
26:19And if you love The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings,
26:23you will know just how fantastic his use of language is.
26:27And his choices are never arbitrary, they're never random.
26:30He chooses them for a reason.
26:32So if you take Bilbo's age, at the beginning of The Lord of the Rings,
26:37he's having a farewell party.
26:39And he says he is 11-1, which sounds so kind of childlike, really.
26:45And you can imagine, you know, children sort of kind of making up their own counting pattern.
26:50They might have 10-t, 11-t, 12-t.
26:53You know, it sounds quite cute.
26:54But actually, if you go back to Anglo-Saxon, that's exactly what they did.
26:57They had a counting system like that.
26:59So 110 was 111, which is 100 and 11-t.
27:04And likewise, 120 was 100 and 12-t.
27:07And so it went on.
27:08And it was only much later that we changed our system.
27:12Farthings is another example.
27:14Farthing is one of the four regions of the shires in Tolkien's work.
27:18It literally is a fourth thing.
27:21And you'll find that analogy in Yorkshire,
27:23which is traditionally divided into three parts called ridings.
27:27But actually, originally, the word was thirding,
27:30because it's one of three parts.
27:31And over time, north thirding became north riding.
27:34And that's why it's called that.
27:35And he's always doing this.
27:37Some of his invented words are just bits of fun, but I still love them.
27:40So he talks about flabbergastation, which is brilliant.
27:43Confusticate, which is to confound and staggerment and things like that.
27:47But most of them do have a derivation that takes us into a whole other linguistic world.
27:52So he really, really knew his stuff.
27:54And if you haven't read any of his work and you're interested in language,
27:57I would just say, please do, because he's amazing.
28:00APPLAUSE
28:05Straight round to the library there.
28:07All right.
28:07So 72 to 52.
28:09Stephen in the lead.
28:10And it's Alan's letters game now.
28:13Alan.

29:27We got railer, so R-A-I-L-L-E-U-R.
29:32Yes.
29:33Be forgiven for not knowing this one.
29:35Goes back to 1655.
29:37And it's a person given to banter, wit or satire from the French, obviously.
29:42A railer.
29:42Really.
29:47That's a distant one.
29:49Anything else, Susie?
29:50No, that was the best we could do.
29:51It'll do.
29:52It'll do.
29:5378 to 58.
