00:18Fingers on buzzers, teams.
00:20Who became Queen of England in 1558?
00:24Aoife Vipers.
00:25Queen Beyoncé I.
00:26Incorrect.
00:28Queen Beyoncé II.
00:33Next question.
00:35Why is Aoife absolutely humiliating herself in public?
00:40To answer that, I think we need a rewind.
00:45You're leaving the team.
00:47I've been meaning to tell you.
00:51Why?
00:52Is it because I forgot your birthday?
00:53Or the time I accidentally step higher to your trainers?
00:56No.
00:57Oh, when I hid your sports bag and then a screw will weed all over your socks.
01:01For once, this isn't about you.
01:04Bit rude.
01:05It's always about me.
01:07I've been selected by a new school.
01:10St. Sarah Bellum's School for Geniuses.
01:13Why?
01:13Is Midvale School too dumb for you?
01:15To be fair, our website's got a spelling mistake on the main page.
01:20Has it?
01:25Oh, we've got a maths test coming up.
01:27St. Sarah Bellum wants to see my result.
01:29You leave it to me.
01:30I'll find a way to keep us all together.
01:33You're making this about you again.
01:34That is generally how this works.
02:04How are you doing?
02:06Did you know there are thousands of tiny insects living on your face on any one time?
02:14Wow.
02:16No.
02:17Go back to your device.
02:18What?
02:19You told me to say something interesting.
02:22Some people value knowledge.
02:28Quiz club?
02:36What is the national flower of Japan?
02:38Cherry blossom.
02:39Yeah.
02:39I didn't even know our school had a quiz club.
02:42Yeah.
02:42It's been good since 2023.
02:43The year of the Barbie movie.
02:45Sweden won Eurovision.
02:46And it's Chinese year of the rabbit.
02:48We're all wishing each other a hoppy new year.
02:53It's like I've finally come home.
02:58I've got it.
02:59I'll wait for the vipers to stay together as a team when Zara goes off to genius school.
03:04We all go to genius school.
03:06What, you mean we're crawling through the sewage parks like a reverse prison brick?
03:09Disguise ourselves as cleaners.
03:11Suffolk uniforms and...
03:12I mean, we apply and they let us in.
03:15But it's genius school and we're not geniuses.
03:19Anyone can be a genius.
03:20Isn't that right, sir?
03:23Absolutely not.
03:24But with the right teaching, we can scrub delusions like that right out of your brains.
03:30You see, we have terrible teachers.
03:33We need a good one.
03:34Like who?
03:37Zara.
03:41So Zara's teaching us both a combination of maths and basketball for today's maths test.
03:46Or as I like to call it, maths-skit-ball!
03:51No?
03:52OK.
03:54Ready, Zara?
03:56Nyla, use your V-step in the corner of the isosceles to draw the defender away.
04:02Sha, bounce pass to her from the back of the obtuse.
04:07Aoife, advance from the equilateral and receive the pass for a shot.
04:12Yes!
04:14Exactly.
04:16Aoife, work along the hypotenuse.
04:19Remember, it's the longest side of a right-angled triangle.
04:23Exactly like that.
04:24Yep.
04:25Right-angle!
04:28My hypotenuse!
04:35Well done!
04:36Well done!
04:38Frank, out of the gym you lot, we're setting up for the maths test.
04:42We're revising for it now, sir.
04:44Doesn't look like maths revision.
04:46Well, that's because you can't see all the shapes and stuff.
04:55Never mind.
04:56If this is revision, tell me, what have you learned?
04:58Well, any two sides of a square triangle are equal to a prime hippopotamus.
05:08I didn't say that.
05:10She means a cute hippopotamus.
05:13Zara, are you OK?
05:16It's just, I can't stand wrong answers.
05:20It's like I'm allergic to them.
05:21It's not easy trying to educate these people, is it?
05:24At least you'll be at a decent school soon.
05:26I'm stuck here with this lot.
05:28No offence, girls.
05:32We're so going to prove him wrong.
05:36Bye, Connor.
05:38Bye, Connor.
05:40So, how's Geek Squad?
05:43It's called Quiz Club, actually.
05:45And the first rule of Quiz Club is everyone has an awesome time.
05:50Everyone else in there is a girl?
05:51It is predominantly female.
05:54Geek Squad's for girls?
05:56So lame.
05:58You joining us for the school quiz tournament, Connor?
06:02Answer, yes.
06:03And for a bonus point, I'll bring the biscuits.
06:06You're so funny.
06:07Dave, what did I just see?
06:12I seem to have developed some riz.
06:17What?
06:20Riz.
06:21It's a slang term derived from the word charisma.
06:24It means...
06:25I know what it means.
06:27I invented it.
06:28How did you get it?
06:32He must have hypnotised them.
06:40You have 90 minutes to complete the maths test.
06:44No electronic devices.
06:46No talking.
06:47And if you need the bathroom, clench.
06:51I can't wait for everyone to go to genius school with you.
06:54You may turn over your papers.
06:56Wait for it!
06:58Now.
07:02The trick is to stay focused.
07:05Don't get distracted.
07:06Because when that happens, time starts to fly.
07:10And your brain starts to wonder.
07:12And the next thing you know...
07:14Time's up.
07:15Pens down, everyone.
07:16What?
07:16How did that happen?
07:19What did you get for the question on fractions?
07:23That's a drawing of a badger and a cowboy's hat.
07:25It's better than leaving it blank.
07:26It's not.
07:30For the next one, you take all the answers.
07:33It's a multiple choice question.
07:35I put multiple answers.
07:41Are you OK?
07:42Aoife, I don't think you're coming to genius school.
07:47We can't all reach your level.
07:50But we can bring you down to us.
07:54Stop hitting with me.
07:55Hand in mine.
07:56You mean cheat?
07:57If that's wrong, I'd basically be a criminal.
07:59It's not cheating if you get the answers wrong.
08:09Remain seated.
08:11I'll pick them up.
08:13Sorry, sir.
08:17I hate getting things wrong.
08:18Then you'll have to leave Midvale
08:20and you'll never see the Vipers ever again.
08:22You can't do that to us.
08:38Three highlighter pens.
08:40You can start a stationer's with that.
08:43Sorry, sir.
08:45Thank you, sir.
08:53Genius comes in many forms.
09:02What's going on with you?
09:04Messages from the quiz girls.
09:06Gosh, that's a lot of kissy face emojis.
09:12Connor's got a girlfriend.
09:17Wait.
09:18Connor's got a girlfriend.
09:21A girlfriend?
09:22Don't be silly.
09:24I don't have a girlfriend.
09:27I've actually got three girlfriends.
09:29How did that happen?
09:31I don't know.
09:32I sort of just acquired them.
09:36They're sending flirty memes.
09:38What do I do?
09:39Relax.
09:40Lucky for you, I've had hundreds of girlfriends.
09:43Maybe thousands.
09:46We'll handle this.
09:48Don't worry.
09:48You can thank us later.
09:55You cheated on the test.
09:58Are you serious?
09:59I think you're going to get away with that.
10:01Of course I am.
10:02What do you think is going to happen?
10:04Oh, suddenly walks in and says...
10:05Something most unusual has come to my attention.
10:09It will be unprofessional to discuss test results in front of all these people.
10:15But, Zara, what went wrong with your brain?
10:17You were terrible.
10:19Utterly dreadful.
10:21Can't have been that bad, sir.
10:22Question 12.
10:23She just drew a picture of a badger with some kind of sieve on its head.
10:27Must have just been the pressure of moving to a new school.
10:29Well, that pressure's off.
10:31I'm withdrawing your application.
10:33Oh, no.
10:35At the other extreme, Aoife, follow me, please.
10:48Does he know we're cheated?
10:49He's taking me for a lie detector test.
10:51This is the school's prison.
10:55You can lock me up, but you'll never imprison my spirit.
10:58Welcome to the Elite Lounge, a place for Midvale's highest achievers who relax and mingle.
11:05Help yourself to pastries.
11:09It's Mocktail and Manicure Monday.
11:11We like to keep things alliterative.
11:14I don't understand.
11:17No, I don't understand how I overlooked your potential for so long.
11:20Can you forgive me?
11:22Oh, intruder alert.
11:24Sound the klaxon.
11:25No.
11:27Aoife's legit.
11:28One of our best.
11:31Happy to be a member.
11:33She can't join.
11:34We're full.
11:36Which is why I'm removing Zara's name from the honor roll.
11:39Now I feel a bit bad.
11:43Ooh, and I must remember to sign you up for Theme Park Thursday.
11:47Hope you like stretch limos.
11:50But this time, maybe I'll find the strength to overcome that guilt.
12:00Job done.
12:02Between us, we applied back to our geek friends.
12:05Sorry, girlfriends.
12:07Thanks, guys.
12:08I really appreciate it.
12:11This is a goat scratching its bottom against a lamppost.
12:14You're welcome.
12:16And this message?
12:17I promise to have your name tattooed across my face.
12:20Romantic gesture.
12:22Trust me, girls love that stuff.
12:23I have to delete all this before they see it.
12:25Well, if it's so stressful having three girlfriends, dump one.
12:28But which one?
12:29They are a perfectly balanced quiz team.
12:33Layla travels a lot.
12:34Geography.
12:35Heidi does athletics.
12:36Sports.
12:38And Isha plays violin.
12:39Filling drink.
12:42It's like I need a spare version of myself to keep up with them.
12:47Of course.
12:48That's it.
12:50A theme park trip with a sleepover by a stretch limo.
12:55Perks of being a genius.
12:56But, Aoife, you're not a genius.
12:59You're cheating and now you're getting rewarded for it.
13:02Er, we're all being rewarded.
13:04Zara gets to stay in the team and gets a break from the pressure of being a genius.
13:10Don't you, Zara?
13:13What?
13:15I'm trying to watch cat videos.
13:18Wow.
13:18She really has let herself go.
13:20Aoife, we've just installed a new sound system in the Elite's lounge.
13:24Test it out for me.
13:27And I'm in Holt's good books for a change.
13:29Which is good for everyone.
13:32Is it, Zara?
13:34Zara!
13:37She's not listening.
13:38Fine.
13:49Behold the Connerbot.
13:51The Conner what?
13:51The Connerbot.
13:52The what, what?
13:53A digital app that talks to my girlfriends on my behalf.
13:57What are you on about?
13:59Allow me to explain.
14:01I'm Connerbot.
14:02Great to meet you.
14:04That is so weird and freaky.
14:07In other words, exactly like Conner.
14:10You may scoff, but this baby is keeping my romantic relationships alive.
14:15Isn't that right?
14:16Sure is, buddy.
14:17I sent personalised DMs to all your girlfriends and a happy birthday gift to Leila's mum.
14:23Thanks, Connerbot.
14:24You're welcome, big guy.
14:27It called him big guy.
14:29Hey, Conner.
14:30I love that clip you sent.
14:31So funny.
14:32You totally get me.
14:33I knew you'd like it.
14:35I have no idea what she's talking about.
14:41I think I hate him.
14:43Music is proven to help brain development, so feel free to skip classes anytime.
14:48Come in here and use this.
14:49Thank you, sir.
14:50Anything for our newest school genius.
14:52Now, what will it be?
14:53Bach?
14:54Mozart?
14:55Uh, you choose.
14:57Top boy band, Boyosphere, it is.
15:05Connerbot, write a poem for Heidi and send Aisha a photo of dolphins and a rainbow, please.
15:13Will do, Conner.
15:14You're the boss.
15:15Don't you forget it.
15:18Intruder alert.
15:19Sound the klaxon.
15:22Uh, back off, bro.
15:24I'm allowed in here.
15:25Official genius.
15:27Aoife, you got your head caught in the neighbour's cat flap.
15:30Twice.
15:31You are not a genius.
15:33She is.
15:35According to her maths test.
15:42She's spoiling the lounge for the rest of us.
15:44This can't be her.
15:45She must have cheated.
15:50I've got an idea.
15:54Jessica, have you got a make-up brush?
15:57Duh.
15:59Why do you ask?
16:00Don't nobody wake me up.
16:02Cause girl, you are, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, this star of mine.
16:06Girl, you are, uh, uh, uh, uh, this star of mine.
16:10We were thinking, now you're a genius, you must want to sign up for the school quiz tournament tomorrow.
16:17No thanks.
16:18It wouldn't be fair on the other teams.
16:20Then we'll dust your test paper for fingerprints and find out who really filled it in.
16:26On second thoughts, I'd love to do the quiz.
16:30If your team beats mine, you can stay.
16:33But if you lose, you can forget all about Theme Park Thursday and...
16:41Firework Friday.
16:43You won't even make it to Waffle Wednesday.
16:51Look, we're rubbish at quizzes.
16:54Look at what happened in the maths test.
16:55That was a test.
16:57This is a quiz.
16:58It's a team game.
16:59Plus, we have a secret weapon.
17:01Zara!
17:03But Zara's changed.
17:04She's gone bad.
17:06It's been one day.
17:07She can't have a complete personality change in one day.
17:17Sorry about Zara's behaviour, sir.
17:20I'll go have a word with her.
17:21Thank you, Ethan.
17:22Maybe she'll listen to you.
17:26We need you in the quiz team.
17:28Thought I meant to be a dummy.
17:29You are?
17:30But you can whisper the answers to me and I'll get them right.
17:34So Zara answers the questions, but you take all the credit.
17:39Again.
17:39Well, she can't go straight back to being clever.
17:43It looks suspicious.
17:44She has to fail for just a bit longer.
17:48How much longer?
17:50Let's say until after my Theme Park sleepover.
17:54We look forward to encountering you in the field of intellectual combat.
17:58We certainly do.
18:00Obviously, phones are banned from the quiz.
18:02But, sir, I need this.
18:04Not for cheating, for emotional support.
18:07Nice try.
18:08No phones.
18:08Don't worry, big guy.
18:10I've got an idea.
18:14Hello and welcome to Midvale Challenge, where top swats go noggin to noggin in a general knowledge showdown.
18:22Let's meet the teams.
18:52Hi, we're the Vipers.
18:53And Leila.
18:55Hello.
18:59Well, I could have been down there.
19:01What, I'm actually banned from quizzes for being too clever.
19:05Brain boxes, I see you've brought a team mascot.
19:08Yeah, just a harmless old teddy.
19:11Pay no attention to the teddy.
19:13Victory will be ours.
19:15Shh.
19:16Uh, no phones allowed.
19:18It's not a phone.
19:20It's a mascot.
19:21It's cheating.
19:22Oh, you want to talk about cheating, do you?
19:27Never mind.
19:29Fingers on buzzers.
19:30What is the highest mountain in Africa?
19:33Eva, Vipers.
19:34Kilimanjaro.
19:36Kimberlin Danio.
19:38I'll accept.
19:47Amberlin.
19:48East Berlin.
19:50Easter Island.
19:52Northern Ireland.
19:53Correct.
19:54Joan of Arc.
19:55Correct.
19:57Noah's Arc.
19:59The British Ark.
20:00Correct.
20:02Jurassic Park.
20:04Correct.
20:05Correct.
20:14At the halfway mark, it's level pegging, with both teams on 94 points.
20:20But, Vipers, I have to say, Aoife really is doing all the work on your team.
20:24She certainly earned that genius tag.
20:26Oh, stop it.
20:32Um, why don't you try and answer one or two questions yourself, Zara?
20:36Nah, not going back to old Zara.
20:38What?
20:39Never.
20:40I prefer the easy life.
20:42Next question.
20:45Who threw that?
20:49Zara, Vipers.
20:50It's the right answer.
20:52Next question.
20:53What are you going to do about it?
20:56What have I created?
20:57I think it's time for a quick recap.
20:59I only wanted to keep the team together.
21:00That's why I decided to try and be a genius.
21:04You may turn over your papers.
21:06Which didn't work.
21:08That's a drawing of a badger and a cowboy's hat.
21:10So then we swapped test papers.
21:15Which was pretty awesome, actually, because I get to go to the VIP Elite Lounge.
21:20I hope you suck your pastries.
21:21With a theme park sleepover.
21:25But now I've turned Zara into a total monster.
21:29Zara, this is your last and final warning.
21:31Last and final mean the same thing, you pompous muppet.
21:36Right.
21:39She understands.
21:41Please just give her one last chance.
21:44There's only one way out of this.
21:45Total personal humiliation.
21:48Fingers on buzzers.
21:49In which Jane Austen novel would you find Mr Darcy?
21:53Aoife, Vipers.
21:55Jane Austen?
21:57And the Prisoner of Azkaban?
22:01Everyone knows that's wrong.
22:04It was the Chamber of Secrets.
22:08Aoife, Vipers.
22:09Queen Beyoncé the First.
22:11Incorrect.
22:13Queen Beyoncé the Second?
22:15No.
22:17When was the Battle of Hastings?
22:20Tuesday?
22:21Dear Lord, no.
22:22The name for a baby swan?
22:25Nigel.
22:26What?
22:27William Shakespeare's final play?
22:30In the Night Garden, Part Three.
22:33Revenge of the Ninety-Noc.
22:35Oh, please.
22:42You must get this one.
22:44In three-on-three basketball, how many players are on each team?
22:50Is it two million players and a German tortoise called Brian?
22:57Stop!
22:58I can't let this go on.
22:59You look really stupid.
23:01You're not listening to any of my answers.
23:03Your answers?
23:04Yes!
23:05My answers!
23:06Just as I thought.
23:07Zara's helping her.
23:09Er, so what?
23:10You're using your phone?
23:11Nonsense!
23:12This is just a...
23:13Stupid mascot.
23:15Who are you calling stupid?
23:19Shh!
23:20Don't tell me to shush, Connor.
23:22Connor?
23:22Why is the mascot talking?
23:24Oh, ignore it.
23:25It's nothing.
23:26I'm not nothing.
23:28I'm your boyfriend.
23:30What?
23:31Yours, too.
23:33I've been sending those messages.
23:35Not you.
23:36Is this true, Connor?
23:37Well, I mean, technically...
23:42It's true.
23:43You've been cloudfish.
23:48It's catfish.
23:51It's all me.
23:53Connor doesn't know you at all.
23:55Not like I do.
23:57This is creepy.
23:58I've had enough.
24:01Come back!
24:03I love you!
24:05Okay.
24:06Not sure what happened there,
24:08but the brain boxes are down to one team member,
24:11so, Vipers, you need to nominate someone.
24:14Oh.
24:16Zara, you're the only genus in our team,
24:19and I'm sorry that I took credit for all of your quiz answers
24:23and the maths test.
24:25I knew it.
24:26She is an imposter.
24:29Aoife, I'll deal with you later.
24:31For now, fingers back on buzzers.
24:36Prince of Wales.
24:37Killer Wales.
24:39Killer Bees.
24:41Mr Bees.
24:42Mr Bean.
24:43Barber Bees.
24:45Father Christmas.
24:47White Christmas.
24:49White blood cells.
24:50Incorrect.
24:51Red blood cells, you fool.
24:53Don't call me a fool.
24:55I created you.
24:56I could destroy you.
24:57You wouldn't dare.
24:59Sulfuric acid.
25:00Correct.
25:02You made me miss one.
25:04Don't blame me.
25:05You're weak, Connor.
25:07Simone Biles.
25:08Correct.
25:09I wish I never built you.
25:11You can't destroy me.
25:12I'm too powerful.
25:15Hush now, little bear.
25:22Thanks.
25:24I think I needed that.
25:28And with that, the final scores are Brainboxes 136, Vipers 137, and with that I declare the
25:35Vipers mid-fail quiz champions.
25:42Yay!
25:43So, now that you're all single again, who fancies pizza on Friday?
25:46Apart from the restaurant, so?
25:48Can I get stuff crossed?
25:51Sarah!
25:52It's so great to have you back.
25:54I was never really cut out to be a genius.
25:56Which is why I'm revoking your access to the Elite Lounge.
25:59Hand over your pass.
26:00What?
26:01You never gave me a pass.
26:03Didn't I?
26:04Oh.
26:05Yeah.
26:07No!
26:07Ha!
26:08Let that be a lesson.
26:09No, theme park Thursday for you.
26:11And for cheating on the maths test, that's detention for both of you for a month.
26:15A month?
26:17Won't Sarah have gone to genius school by then?
26:19No.
26:20Today has shown that Sarah benefits from being surrounded by lesser minds.
26:25Wait, what?
26:27He means dummies like us.
26:29Oh, speaking of dummies, is your brother alright?
26:37Well done, Zara.
26:38You deserved your win.
26:40You were a tough opponent.
26:42Have you thought about joining Quiz Club?
26:44We meet every lunchtime.
26:46Maybe.
26:48So, I lost the Elite Lounge, but we got Zara back, so everything worked out.
26:53OK.
26:54I lost the Elite Lounge.
26:55Right.
26:56That's what you think?
26:59I will have revenge on all humans.
27:02I'm a super-intelligent AI.
27:05It's OK.
27:09It's OK.
27:21No one likes clever clogs.
27:23Bye-bye.
27:25Bye-bye.
