00:17Hello and welcome to a brand new series of Ridiculous.
00:22This is the Ridiculously Clever Show,
00:24where three teams of riddle solvers take on our devious riddle master.
00:29Hello, Henry. Hello, Randy.
00:31Now, Henry, we're in series three.
00:33I think it's about time you shared some of your riddling secrets.
00:36So what makes a brilliant riddle?
00:39I mean, I cannot give away my, you know, my top secrets.
00:43But would you like a little sneak peek?
00:45See if you can work out what the secrets are yourself.
00:47Go on then.
00:48OK, so try this one out for size.
00:50These media types can really put the squeeze on you.
00:54Who are they?
00:55I may have a little advantage in this area.
00:58But I'm going to let these guys think about it.
01:01Well, let's meet them.
01:02Here are today's teams.
01:05Who's with us today?
01:06I'm Davina.
01:07This is my fiance, Stephen, and we're from Essex.
01:10I'm Catherine.
01:11This is my wife, Lisa, and we're from Skipton.
01:13I'm Ben.
01:14This is my friend, Max, and we're from Cornwall.
01:16Super to have you all with us.
01:17Welcome to the show.
01:18So, Henry has got you working already, and there's no money in it, I'm afraid.
01:22But you had a riddle for us.
01:24Yeah.
01:25These media types can really put the squeeze on you.
01:28Any ideas what that one might be?
01:29Is it Dates?
01:31Oh.
01:31Oh, it's just a warm-up, and already everyone is really hot under the collar.
01:36Shall I say it?
01:37What I think it is?
01:38Yeah, please.
01:39The press?
01:40The press.
01:40Absolutely right.
01:41The press, of course.
01:41Yeah.
01:42I love the groan.
01:43This is what you experience, this groaning.
01:45Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:45I love it.
01:46I love it.
01:48Super riddle, Henry.
01:50Let's get on with the game.
01:51Welcome to the show, teams.
01:52This is how it works.
01:54You're going to face a series of riddles from Henry, as you know.
01:58Now, in order to unlock each riddle, you'll first have to correctly answer
02:02three general knowledge questions.
02:06Now, in this round, the questions from me are worth £25.
02:09Henry, how much are your riddles worth?
02:11Well, in this round, the riddles are simple, so they're just worth £100.
02:14But they're the easiest you're going to face all games, so you don't want to be getting
02:18these ones wrong.
02:19Right.
02:19Get your game face on, people, because at the end of this round, we will be saying
02:25goodbye to one team, so every question is important right from the off.
02:31Are you ready for some general knowledge?
02:33Yes.
02:33Amazing.
02:34Love the enthusiasm.
02:35Here we go.
02:36Hands at the ready.
02:37Let's play.
02:39What does the letter G stand for in the name of the email service Gmail?
02:45Ben and Max.
02:46Google.
02:47Correct.
02:48Well done.
02:48First £25 of the show to Ben and Max.
02:51Yes.
02:51Well done.
02:52In 1953, Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary became the first people to reach Ben and Max.
02:58Mount Everest.
02:59The summit of which mountain?
03:01Mount Everest.
03:02Very good.
03:03You're already just one correct answer away from unlocking your first riddle.
03:07In a manual car, which pedal is between the accelerator and the clutch?
03:12Catherine and Lisa.
03:13Great.
03:14Indeed it is.
03:15Benham actually looked too young to drive, frankly.
03:17I'm not going to lie.
03:18The driving instructor might watch this.
03:20Don't say that.
03:21Yeah.
03:22Next question.
03:23Which actor stars in the films Bruce Almighty, Liar Liar and?
03:28Catherine and Lisa.
03:29Jim Carrey.
03:31Yes.
03:31And The Truman Show was the end of that question.
03:34OK.
03:34So, Catherine and Lisa, you are also just one correct answer away from unlocking the first riddle.
03:40What specific time of day goes before the word shadow when referring to a style of facial hair?
03:48Catherine and Lisa.
03:49Midnight.
03:50Incorrect.
03:51What specific?
03:52Davina and Stephen.
03:53Five o'clock.
03:54Yes.
03:55Very good.
03:55The five o'clock shadow.
03:5725 pounds to Davina.
03:58And Stephen.
04:00Which former play school presenter born in Trinidad in 1949?
04:04Catherine and Lisa.
04:06Chloella Benjamin.
04:06Yes.
04:07Was made a life peer in 2010.
04:09So, she is Baroness Benjamin.
04:12Catherine and Lisa.
04:13Fantastic work.
04:14You had a bit of a challenge there, but you've got to your first riddle.
04:17You're married.
04:19Yes.
04:19How did you meet?
04:20We met online.
04:21Online.
04:21Did you?
04:22Our first foray into online dating.
04:24It was very successful.
04:26And in terms of competitiveness?
04:28Terrible.
04:29Absolutely terrible.
04:30I am competitive.
04:31To the point where we played squash this week and I had to let Lisa win.
04:35Because it was.
04:36No.
04:36She made up her own rules.
04:37It kind of went a little bit obscure.
04:39Yeah.
04:39The rules of squash.
04:41That was actually.
04:43But yeah.
04:43She gets so competitive you just have to let Lisa win.
04:46Is that right?
04:47All the time.
04:47All the time I've known.
04:48It's easier.
04:49It's happier.
04:51Oh my word.
04:52Is this a secret to the marriage?
04:53Let Lisa win.
04:55Now I think about it, yes.
04:56Definitely.
04:56I cannot promise you that Henry will let you win.
05:00Hmm.
05:00But of course you do have access to a clue, don't forget.
05:02So throughout the game you get access to one clue from Henry.
05:05So use it wisely.
05:07Good luck, Henry.
05:08Good luck.
05:08Lisa likes to win.
05:10Yeah.
05:11Well let's see if you win this one.
05:12I'm one of three and many say the most important of all.
05:17Early in the day I look like I'm getting smashed very quickly.
05:21What am I?
05:22Early in the day.
05:23I think that's.
05:24I want meals.
05:26Three meals a day.
05:27Early in the day.
05:28I look like I'm getting smashed very quickly.
05:32Early in the day.
05:33That's the clue.
05:34That's the morning when we're going to our own breakfast.
05:36Yes.
05:37We're stuck on breakfast.
05:39Oh.
05:40This is tricky.
05:41Can you have a clue?
05:43OK.
05:43Should we use a clue?
05:44Already?
05:45Go on then.
05:46Yeah.
05:46I think we're going to have to.
05:47We're not better at home.
05:49That's what everyone says.
05:51And the clue is I'm often consumed in cereal form.
05:55It's up to you whether we go with egg, breakfast.
05:57Go on then go with egg.
05:58Go with egg.
05:59No it's not one of three.
06:01It's not one of three.
06:01We're not doing that.
06:02I think breakfast.
06:03Breakfast.
06:03We're going with breakfast.
06:05Breakfast you're locking in.
06:06We're locking in breakfast.
06:08Lisa I know you like very much to win.
06:12And on this occasion you have breakfast is the right answer.
06:16It is the right answer yes.
06:18But Lisa can you tell me why?
06:20Well it was thinking about three meals a day.
06:23Three meals a day.
06:24And the cereal bit was.
06:26Break.
06:27Break.
06:27Break fast.
06:28That's the bit you didn't get.
06:29Yeah absolutely.
06:30So of course yeah three meals a day.
06:32Breakfast is the earliest meal yeah.
06:34Yeah.
06:34Breakfast the most important meal of the day.
06:36Getting smashed quickly would be breaking fast yeah.
06:39Yes.
06:39So that's breakfast.
06:41You've got some of it but enough of it to get the right answer.
06:44Well done.
06:44And Stephen was looking at you just going what are they doing.
06:48I knew it.
06:49I knew it.
06:49He was quietly shaking.
06:50You were weren't you.
06:51You were looking over.
06:52I knew you knew it.
06:53Okay brilliant.
06:54You've got a hundred pounds added to your prize pot.
06:56Katherine and Lisa.
06:57Right.
06:58Okay hands by the buzzers.
07:00Here we go.
07:00More general knowledge questions.
07:02According to the proverb a watched pot never does what?
07:05Ben and Max.
07:06Boils.
07:06Correct.
07:0725 pounds to Ben and Max.
07:09Who resigned as the manager of Liverpool Football Club in 2024?
07:13Davina and Stephen.
07:14Jürgen Klopp.
07:15He did indeed.
07:17Which salad ingredient has varieties called butterhead, coz and iceberg?
07:23Ben and Max.
07:24Lettuce.
07:25Correct.
07:26Lettuce is absolutely right.
07:28If you're one correct answer away from unlocking the next riddle.
07:32In which organ of the body does a cardiologist specialise?
07:36Katherine and Lisa.
07:37The heart.
07:38Indeed.
07:39Well done.
07:41Which boy's name is also the term for a basic skateboarding trick where the rider and
07:47the board jump into the air?
07:49Ben and Max.
07:50Ollie.
07:51Yes.
07:52You may have had youth on your side for this one.
07:55Well done.
07:55Great answer.
07:57A bit of knowledge there got you right into the game because you're about to face your
08:00first riddle.
08:01How did you meet?
08:02We were really cool and we were at the Warhammer Club at school.
08:05I feel like you might be saying that with a sense of irony.
08:07Just a tad.
08:08Just a tad.
08:10We were playing a role playing game together.
08:13It was a team game and Ben chose to go against the team and kill my character.
08:19He cheated.
08:20He cheated.
08:20Yes.
08:21Definitely.
08:21This is true.
08:22Are you listening to this Henry?
08:23We've got a cheat on the team.
08:25Outrageous.
08:25Outrageous.
08:26Yeah.
08:26I still hear a lot about it.
08:28I still hear a lot about it.
08:29This is like eight years ago.
08:30Now I'm bringing it up on television.
08:32I love it.
08:33Seriously.
08:33You hold a grudge Max.
08:35You're my kind of guy.
08:36Okay.
08:37Good luck.
08:38Henry, over to you.
08:39Can you get it right?
08:39Or will Ben turn on this team?
08:41Let's see.
08:42Even if you're particularly nosy, without having a sense of what I am, you may never detect
08:47me.
08:48What am I?
08:49Particularly nosy is giving sort of senses.
08:52I'm thinking smell.
08:53I'm also thinking smell in terms of without having a sense.
08:56It implies it's one of the five senses maybe.
08:58And nosy, if he goes in with that.
09:00Because the nose is the only...
09:02Because you can't get smell from the other stuff.
09:04Exactly.
09:05What am I talking about?
09:06Yeah.
09:07Let's go with that then.
09:08Should we lock in smell?
09:09Yes.
09:10You're locked in.
09:10We'd like to lock in smell.
09:11Smell.
09:12Smell.
09:13Yeah.
09:14How are you feeling about that answer?
09:15Now that you've said that, less sure.
09:17Yeah.
09:17You're really good at sort of chipping away at the confidence.
09:21The stone face is very intimidating.
09:23I have that at the top of my CV.
09:27But smell is the right answer, so you should be confident.
09:30Well done, yeah.
09:31Absolutely.
09:31Of course, yes, smell is to do with nose and smell is one of the senses.
09:34Well done, yeah.
09:35Max, you sort of gave an extra forensic version of what we all think of Henry.
09:39Just chipping away at confidence is what he does best.
09:42No, brilliant.
09:43Great answer.
09:44So that is £100 to Ben and Max.
09:48Well done.
09:49Here we go.
09:50There's still plenty of questions and plenty of money.
09:53Good luck.
09:54In which country are the cities of Cancun and Acapulco?
09:57Ben and Max.
09:58Mexico.
09:59Correct.
10:01In a standard British plug, what colour is the neutral wire?
10:06Ben and Max.
10:07Blue.
10:07Yes, it is.
10:08Well done.
10:09Once again, you're just on the cusp of unlocking another riddle.
10:12Which screen icon played musician Sugarcane in the 1959 film Some Like It Hot?
10:20Davina and Stephen.
10:21Marilyn Monroe.
10:22Correct.
10:24Good knowledge there.
10:26Which sign of the zodiac is represented by a bull?
10:29Ben and Max.
10:30Taurus.
10:31Correct.
10:32You've unlocked the next riddle.
10:34Henry, here we go again.
10:35Do not chip away at their confidence.
10:37I'll try not to.
10:38No.
10:38What tiny jumper might you say can suck your blood and run away?
10:43Okay, so might you say and sort of run away I think are there for the rhyme.
10:47The key things are suck your blood and tiny jumper.
10:49I'm always thinking I don't know if it's not playing with the cryptic but a flea is a tiny jumper
10:54that sucks your blood.
10:56Oh, and if you run away you flee.
10:58You flee.
10:58You flee from things.
10:59Oh, that's so good.
11:00That's so good.
11:01That's good.
11:01That's good.
11:01I was going to say a v-neck.
11:02That's got nothing to do with it.
11:04A v-neck.
11:04No.
11:05That's much better than what I was taking.
11:07Yes.
11:07We like to lock in flea.
11:09Feeling a bit more confident this time.
11:11Yeah.
11:12You're right, too.
11:12It's the right answer.
11:13Flea, of course it is.
11:14Flea, yes.
11:15A flea, tiny jumper, can suck your blood a flea.
11:17It's like the blood of a dog or a cat if your cat had fleas.
11:19And of course the run away bit, very important.
11:21Max, you nearly dismissed it.
11:23I know.
11:23But it was a key part of it.
11:24If you flee, spelled differently, but of course you run away.
11:27F-L-E-E.
11:28Fantastic stuff.
11:29£100 to Ben and Max.
11:32OK.
11:32We've got one more riddle left in this round.
11:34Here we go.
11:35Good luck.
11:36What ten letter blended word is used to describe a holiday spent at home with local day trips?
11:41Catherine and Lisa.
11:43Staycation.
11:44Staycation blended from stay and vacation.
11:46Well done.
11:47What is the surname of the Charles Dickens title character whose first name is Nicholas?
11:52Ben and Max.
11:53Nickleby.
11:54Yes.
11:55Nicholas Nickleby.
11:56Now isn't it, Ben, aren't you doing English literature?
11:58I am.
11:59I did not know that.
12:00I did not know that.
12:01It's OK.
12:02You got flea.
12:03Max got that one.
12:04That's what teamwork is all about, isn't it?
12:06Well done.
12:07What former name for the city of Mumbai precedes bad boy in the name of a pot noodle flavour?
12:13Catherine and Lisa.
12:14Bombay.
12:15Correct.
12:16Bombay bad boy, apparently.
12:18Catherine and Lisa, you're one correct answer away from unlocking the final riddle in this round.
12:23What garment has styles named clam diggers, pedal pushers and bell bottoms?
12:29Catherine and Lisa.
12:31Trousers.
12:32Yes, they do.
12:33Trousers.
12:33Very good.
12:34Well done.
12:35Right.
12:36Are you ready to face this riddle?
12:38Oh, I don't know.
12:38After the last one.
12:39Yes.
12:40Here we go.
12:41You can see me whenever you look out the window, but you just look straight through me.
12:45Maybe that's why I sound a bit hurt.
12:47What am I?
12:49I think it's a pane of glass.
12:52Yeah.
12:52Pain.
12:52You look through it, yeah.
12:53You look straight through it.
12:54You've got some pain.
12:56You look through it, but you look straight through a pane of glass.
12:58What would you say?
12:59I would say that.
13:00Or window.
13:00Are you sure?
13:01Is it pane of glass or window?
13:02I think a pane, because it's the word pain that sounds...
13:04Of course it is, yeah.
13:05Are we locking in pain?
13:06Yeah.
13:06Pain of glass.
13:07Pain, yeah.
13:07We're locking in pain.
13:09You're locking in pain.
13:14I can't cope with it.
13:15I can't.
13:16It's the right answer.
13:17Well, certainly less pain for the last time.
13:20Yeah, of course, pain.
13:21Yeah, you can see me when you look out the window.
13:22Of course, if you look out of a window, you're looking through a pane.
13:25You're looking straight through a window pane.
13:26Pain can be, if you're hurt, you're in pain, yeah.
13:29Well done.
13:30OK, good stuff.
13:31Catherine and Lisa, let's give you £100.
13:34Right, very good.
13:35So, teams, at the end of this opening round, Ben and Max, you have £425.
13:40Catherine and Lisa have £375.
13:44And Davina and Stephen, you have £75.
13:47I know you knew so many of the answers, because I could see it in your face.
13:51It's that buzzer.
13:52Not quick enough.
13:52Just not quick enough.
13:53But listen, it was lovely to have you on the show.
13:55I know you've got a wedding planned, haven't you?
13:56You're engaged.
13:57Yeah, that's right.
13:58Do you know when the wedding is going to be?
14:00It's in a couple of years, yeah.
14:01Yeah, in October.
14:01Oh, lovely.
14:03Right, well, have a lovely time when that comes around.
14:05And it's been great to have you on the show.
14:08And that's it for part one.
14:09Henry, how about another riddle to build our confidence?
14:13Let's do it.
14:14What might a bull do if it sees red?
14:16Or what might your phone need if it's dead?
14:19I'll give you the answer after the break.
14:31Welcome back.
14:32Now, before the break, Henry sent you another riddle.
14:34Certainly did.
14:35I asked, what might a bull do if it sees red?
14:38Or what might your phone need if it's dead?
14:41And I think we all know this one, right?
14:43The answer is...
14:44Charge.
14:45Charge, of course.
14:46Yes, absolutely, charge.
14:47I took an extra second just to chime in just in case I was wrong.
14:51I'll just wait for them to say it the easiest way.
14:54Thank you so much, Henry, for that little brain teaser.
14:57Now, here we are heading into round two.
15:00So, Ben and Max, are you happy?
15:01Are you feeling confident?
15:03Yeah, we're just going to try and get past the stone glare
15:06from Henry after our riddles.
15:08And if we can ignore that, we'll be fine, hopefully.
15:11And Catherine and Lisa, do you do a lot of quizzing then?
15:14Yes, I think we started in Covid.
15:17We did.
15:17With apps and television shows and things like that.
15:19Keep the brain ticking.
15:21Keep your brain ticking over.
15:22Absolutely.
15:22Good stuff.
15:23Well, you're all doing brilliantly well.
15:25Let's take a look at the scores.
15:26Catherine and Lisa, you have £375.
15:29Ben and Max, you have £425.
15:32But as you know, that lead can change very, very quickly
15:34because here in round two,
15:36general knowledge answers now are going to be worth £50.
15:40Once again, you need three to unlock a riddle,
15:43which are now quite different, Henry.
15:44Would you explain?
15:45Of course.
15:46So, in this round, you're going to be facing visual riddles.
15:48So, as you might expect, they contain pictures,
15:50but also numbers, shapes and words.
15:52They're a little bit trickier than the ones you face in the first round,
15:55but if you get them right, they're worth £200 each.
15:57And, of course, here, things are a bit different again
15:59because only one member of your team can answer.
16:04And you'll have just 60 seconds to get it right.
16:07Also in this round, if you get your riddle wrong,
16:10then we will offer it over to the other team.
16:13They might be able to steal it for half the value.
16:16Are you ready?
16:17Yes.
16:17Hands by the buzzers.
16:18Here we go.
16:19Good luck.
16:21Vermillion, Carmine and Ruby are all shades of which colour?
16:25Ben and Max?
16:25Red.
16:26Correct.
16:27The first £50 of this round to you two.
16:30Richard Block and David Quayle
16:33are the co-founders of which chain of DIY supply shops?
16:38Ben and Max?
16:39B and Q?
16:40Yes.
16:41Correct.
16:42Brilliant.
16:42OK, that means you're already just one correct answer away
16:44from unlocking the first visual riddle.
16:47Three plums, one apple and five oranges
16:49are among the foods eaten by the title character in which...
16:53Ben and Max?
16:54The hungry caterpillar?
16:55I can take that.
16:57It's the very hungry caterpillar, but we can take it.
17:00Foods eaten by the title character in which classic children's book.
17:03Using my literature degree there.
17:05Yes.
17:05Yes, exactly.
17:06Or just reception level literature, I think, at this rate.
17:09But anyway, it doesn't matter.
17:11Here we are.
17:11Ben and Max, you've got a couple of decisions to make here.
17:14OK.
17:14Should we take a look at the categories?
17:16Would that help?
17:17Yes.
17:18So, we have shapes, names and numbers.
17:22Right.
17:23I'm getting drawn to shapes a little bit.
17:24You want to do shapes?
17:25Do shapes.
17:26Go on.
17:27I'll have a crack at shapes.
17:27Yes.
17:28I'll have a crack at shapes.
17:29Ben, into the breach you go.
17:31We've got shapes.
17:33Remember, you can use a clue.
17:35Good luck, Henry.
17:36Here we go.
17:37Ben, 60 seconds to give me a correct answer once I've finished reading the riddle that goes
17:40with this.
17:41How many squares make up this image?
17:44Your time starts now.
17:46One, two, three, five, six, eight, five, ten.
18:01OK, yeah, it's definitely squares, not rectangles.
18:05I am going to double check that.
18:08One, two, three, four.
18:14Yeah, I would like to lock in 15.
18:16You've locked in 15.
18:18Confident you've found them all?
18:19Less confident again now, but fingers crossed.
18:23Ben, 15's right.
18:25Well done.
18:25Yes!
18:2615 squares.
18:28Take a quick look.
18:29There are 15 in there, yeah.
18:31Basically, in the middle, obviously, you've got the four there.
18:33Then on the outer side, you've got four more.
18:34That makes eight.
18:35And outside of that, you've got four more.
18:37That makes 12.
18:38And then, of course, you've got the sort of main three that you see at first.
18:40The one in the centre, the one in the middle, and then the one on the outside.
18:44Add those to the 12, and that's 15 altogether.
18:46Brilliant.
18:47Well done.
18:47Well done, Ben.
18:48That's £200 to Ben and Max.
18:51OK, hands by the buzzers.
18:52The finalists in the 2024 PDC World Darts Championships share what first name?
19:01Ben and Max.
19:02Robert.
19:03Incorrect.
19:04The finalists in the 2024 PDC World...
19:08Catherine and Lisa.
19:09Is it Luke?
19:09It is Luke.
19:11It is Luke.
19:11Yes.
19:12We all remember Luke Littler, don't we?
19:13The absolutely sensational young man.
19:16There was also Luke Humphries.
19:18Well done, Catherine and Lisa.
19:19£50 to you.
19:20Which capital city has visitor attractions including the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain?
19:26Ben and Max.
19:26Rome.
19:27Indeed it is, of course.
19:29In the 2024 UK general election, which party received the second highest vote share?
19:37Ben and Max.
19:38The Conservative Party.
19:39Correct.
19:41You're again just one correct answer away from unlocking the second visual riddle here.
19:46In a slice of millionaire's shortbread, what separates the shortbread from the...
19:50Catherine and Lisa.
19:51Caramel.
19:52Yes, it separates the shortbread from the chocolate.
19:55Caramel it is.
19:56Now, whoever answers this next question correctly will face Henry next.
20:01What word meaning to worry also refers to a part of a guitar?
20:07Catherine and Lisa.
20:08Fret.
20:08Yes.
20:09Very good.
20:10Musician?
20:11Musician.
20:12You play the guitar?
20:13No, the piano on the keyboard.
20:14But you knew a bit about the guitar as well.
20:16Fantastic stuff.
20:17OK.
20:18So you have to decide who wants to step forward and face not just the clock, but of course,
20:23Henry's ridiculous riddle.
20:26The categories you've got are names and numbers.
20:29I think names rather than numbers.
20:33That was a bit quick.
20:35OK.
20:36I'll do it.
20:36OK.
20:37Well done.
20:38Very good.
20:38Yeah, Lisa, you were very quick to press the eject to seat button there.
20:41But, Catherine, you're going to go with names, yes?
20:44Yes, please.
20:44Lovely.
20:45OK.
20:46Super.
20:46Good luck.
20:48Right, 60 seconds.
20:49Catherine, to give me a correct answer once I've read the riddle that goes with this.
20:53Who has meetings on these dates?
21:03February 3rd of June, March 5th, December 3rd, November 7th, January 6th.
21:08Who has meetings on these dates?
21:13How?
21:15Who has meetings on these dates?
21:16February 3rd, June 5th, December 3rd, November 7th.
21:24Who has meetings on these dates?
21:25I'm thinking about saints, but then meetings, meetings, meetings, meetings.
21:34Who has meetings on these dates?
21:38The 5th of March, the 2nd of February, 3rd of July, 3rd of July, December the 3rd, what happens?
21:46You've got ten seconds, lock in an answer if you've got it.
21:49I'm just going to go, I think I'm going to lock in saints.
21:52OK, locked in saints.
21:54It's wrong, I'm afraid.
21:55OK, no more time for Ben and Max, but you could steal it here.
21:59We think we've got the answer, so we're looking at the letters in each month and then how many letters
22:05along it is.
22:06So with the 6th, it's the 6th letter of January, which is an R, the 2nd letter of May, the
22:093rd letter of December, which we believe spells Rachel.
22:13So we'd like to lock in Rachel.
22:14Rachel.
22:16Well done, guys, it's the right answer.
22:18Yeah, Rachel is correct.
22:20Yeah, absolutely.
22:20So you've got the months there and then the number gives you which letter in the month that we need
22:27to use.
22:28So absolutely, as you say, 6th letter of January gives you the R, the 2nd letter of May gives you
22:33the A, the 3rd of December gives you the C and so on.
22:36Spelling Rachel, well done.
22:38Yeah, respect to Ben and Max.
22:40That was pretty good, wasn't it?
22:41Even Catherine's nodding away.
22:42It's like, well done, well done.
22:44You can't help it.
22:45OK, let's give you £100, Ben and Max.
22:49There's one more visual riddle left in this round.
22:52How many Great Lakes are there in North America, Ben and Max?
22:56Five.
22:57Correct.
22:58£50 added to your prize pot.
23:01What is the nickname of Pete Mitchell, the character played by Tom Cruise in Top Gun?
23:07Catherine and Lisa.
23:09Maverick.
23:10Yes, it is.
23:11Very good.
23:12The three main rock types in geology are sedimentary, metamorphic and which other?
23:19Ben and Max.
23:20Igneous.
23:20Yes, correct.
23:23What is the name of the character in The Wind in the Willows who is actually a water vole?
23:30Ben and Max.
23:31Rat.
23:32Yes, indeed.
23:33Rat or ratty we would have accepted.
23:35OK, Ben and Max.
23:37So who wants to take on this final riddle?
23:39I think I've got to do it.
23:41Is that all right?
23:42You've got this.
23:42I've got this.
23:42Yeah.
23:43I have faith in you.
23:44I have faith in you.
23:44That's lovely.
23:45You've got lovely friendship, you two.
23:47Yeah.
23:47Just a lovely brotherliness between you.
23:49I like it very much.
23:49It's all a guise.
23:51We're worst enemies.
23:52Worst enemies.
23:54Listen, numbers it is for you, Max.
23:56You haven't used your clue.
23:58No.
23:58So you could use it in these 60 seconds if you wanted to.
24:01As you know, we'll stop the clock.
24:03Thanks for having me.
24:03Yeah, Max.
24:04I mean, if you get this one, clean sweep on the visual riddles round.
24:06Well done.
24:07But let's see.
24:0860 seconds to give me a correct answer once I've finished reading the riddle that goes
24:11with this.
24:12Which playing card does not belong?
24:14Oh.
24:14Time starts now.
24:16OK, right.
24:16It's so, OK, they're all hearts.
24:21And there's, is this something to do with the numbers in the top corners that all match
24:24up?
24:25They do all match up.
24:27Is it one in which one of them, is the orientation of it with like the wrong things?
24:32They all do look.
24:34Oh, wait.
24:35Hang on.
24:35Two, three, four, five, six.
24:37Is that how you do a number eight in playing cards?
24:39I, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
24:44So you've all got the right numbers on them, but I don't know if that's how you do a number
24:47eight.
24:47Oh, no, that is how you do a number eight.
24:48I think I'm going to have to use my clue, Henry.
24:51I'm really quite stuck here.
24:52Stop the clock.
24:53Your clue is how many is too many?
24:56OK, so one of them, thank you.
24:57So one of them must have too many on it, in which case, oh, right, yeah, sorry, it's
25:03the 11.
25:03There's not an 11 in playing cards.
25:06It's not an 11 of hearts.
25:07It's the chat.
25:08It's 11.
25:09Locked in.
25:11The 11.
25:11Yes.
25:13Max, that's the right answer.
25:14Well done.
25:15I was a little concerned there.
25:17Quite a bit of misdirection going on with this riddle, right?
25:19You're looking at all sorts of different things, lots of hearts there, a lot of information
25:23to take in.
25:24But, of course, there is no 11.
25:25Cards go from two to ten, and then you're into the face cards.
25:28So, yeah, absolutely.
25:2911 of hearts is the one that shouldn't be there.
25:32And it just shows a really good use of the clue, really.
25:34It completely pulled you out of that one, didn't it?
25:37Well done, Ben.
25:38Step forward.
25:38You've done really, really well, Max.
25:40That is another £200 for you guys.
25:44So, teams, at the end of this round, Ben and Max, you have £1,325.
25:50Catherine and Lisa, you have £575.
25:54But all of that can change in the next round.
25:57So, stay focused.
25:59We'll be back to you shortly.
26:00But it is time for a break.
26:02Henry, do you have another riddle for us?
26:04Certainly do.
26:05I live on my own, and I can be a little crabby.
26:08What am I?
26:09I'll give you the answer when we come back.
26:21Welcome back to Ridiculous,
26:23the ridiculously clever and brain-teasing show.
26:26Now, before the break, Henry, you asked...
26:28I live on my own, and I can be a little crabby.
26:31What am I?
26:32Any thoughts, teams?
26:35Hermit.
26:35Hermit.
26:36So, you're right, Catherine and Lisa.
26:37Well done, yeah.
26:38Hermit, of course.
26:39Hermit crab.
26:39And if you live on your own, you're a hermit.
26:41Yes, indeed.
26:42Lovely.
26:42Thank you so much, Henry.
26:44Now, let's take a look at where we are.
26:47I think you all needed that break, right?
26:49Because I think all four of you are very competitive.
26:53And I think you're feeding off each other's energy almost.
26:55I can sort of see it.
26:57Yeah, it's a very exciting thing.
26:58And I know that the numbers in the prize pot seem like they're quite far apart,
27:02but Catherine and Lisa know this.
27:04Anything can change now.
27:06So far, your prize pot stands at £575.
27:09Ben and Max, yours is £1,325.
27:11But that gap can really close, and the lead can change hands,
27:16because this is where the competition gets serious.
27:19The team with the highest prize pot at the end of this round
27:22will be going through to the final to face Henry's riddle run.
27:27Now, this time, correct questions from me are worth £100.
27:32And, Henry, the riddles are pretty valuable now as well.
27:37They certainly are.
27:37This is a deciding round.
27:39So, the riddles are the hardest you've faced so far,
27:41and they're worth £300 each if you can get them right.
27:43OK, if you're all ready, hands by the buzzers.
27:48Let's play.
27:50What American word for nonsense comes from a slang term
27:55for a bologna sausage?
27:57Ben and Max.
27:59Bologna?
27:59Yes.
28:01£100 to your prize pot.
28:04Emerald Fennel directed which 2023 film
28:07set primarily in a large country house?
28:11Ben and Max.
28:13Saltburn?
28:14Yeah.
28:14It was a cult film, wasn't it?
28:16Yeah, we all remember it.
28:17OK, already you're just one correct answer away.
28:21Moss Side is an inner city area of which English city?
28:24Catherine and Lisa.
28:25Greater Manchester.
28:26I can accept that.
28:27The answer's Manchester.
28:30What is the surname of the German brothers Jacob and Wilhelm,
28:35who collected and published fairy tales, including Ben and Max?
28:39Graham?
28:40Yes, correct.
28:41Rumpelstiltskin and Snow White.
28:43OK.
28:44Are you ready to face your first £300 riddle?
28:48As ready as we'll ever be, Ranjord.
28:49As ready as we'll ever be.
28:51I'm going to have to dial up the deviousness here,
28:53because it's going far too smoothly for Ben and Max.
28:56It sounds as though the wealthy might feel quite at home around us,
29:00but most people agree we actually cost nothing.
29:03What are we?
29:04So most people agree we actually cost nothing.
29:05What's another?
29:06Free.
29:07Free.
29:07It costs nothing.
29:08I think it's also along the lines of rich.
29:10Rich.
29:10OK.
29:11At home.
29:12A home of a wealthy person is a manor house,
29:14a mansion,
29:16a palace,
29:17a castle,
29:18a...
29:19Oh, this is a difficult one.
29:21This is a tricky one.
29:21OK, so we actually cost nothing.
29:24What costs nothing?
29:25Manners.
29:25Manners.
29:26Manners cost nothing,
29:27and the wealthy might feel at home in a manor.
29:29Yes!
29:30Yes!
29:31Amazing.
29:32Amazing.
29:32Great.
29:32We'd like to lock in manor.
29:34Manners.
29:35Manners.
29:35Manners.
29:36Manners.
29:37Yeah.
29:42It's the right answer, guys.
29:43Well done.
29:43Yeah, manors.
29:44My goodness.
29:45Yes, quite a lot of discussion,
29:46and then a flurry of excitement at the end.
29:49That was great to watch.
29:50Yeah, of course, manors.
29:51Yeah, manors cost nothing,
29:52but, of course,
29:53the wealthy might feel very at home around manor houses.
29:56Correct.
29:56Well done.
29:57Lovely stuff.
29:59£300 to Ben and Max.
30:00And, Max,
30:01there is something in your exclamation.
30:03Which really attracts me,
30:05because you're full of charisma,
30:06lots of character,
30:07and you are, in fact,
30:08what do you do with your voice down in Cornwall?
30:10I'm a town crier.
30:11There you go.
30:12Does it all make sense now?
30:13No.
30:13Well, give us a little bit of what a town crier does.
30:16Clue you, clue you, clue you.
30:19Oh, yay, oh, yay, oh, yay.
30:22That's pretty impressive.
30:23I mean, listen.
30:24That was pretty good.
30:26That's fantastic.
30:28There we go.
30:29OK, right.
30:30We've got more riddles on the way.
30:32Are you ready?
30:33Yes.
30:33Yes.
30:34Here we go.
30:35What name is shared by an annual arts festival in Edinburgh?
30:39And Ben and Max.
30:41Fringe.
30:41Yeah, and hair that falls over the forehead.
30:44What goes on under that cap?
30:45Can we see?
30:46Is there...
30:47Yes, a lovely head of hair.
30:48Why hide it?
30:50OK, good stuff.
30:52A Moscow Mule cocktail consists of...
30:54Catherine and Lisa.
30:56Vodka.
30:57I knew you'd know this.
31:00Listen, they're just too young to know this.
31:02I knew you two are...
31:03Age sometimes is a benefit, yeah.
31:06I love it.
31:06OK, go on, right.
31:07A Moscow Mule cocktail consists of lime juice, ginger beer,
31:11and which alcoholic spirit?
31:13Vodka it was.
31:14One of our favourites as well.
31:15You might need one.
31:16You might need one after this.
31:17Right, not you two, just squash for you two.
31:21Right, OK.
31:22Which social media service was founded in 2004
31:25by Harvard College students, including Mark Zuckerberg?
31:29Ben and Max.
31:30Facebook.
31:31It was, of course.
31:32We would have accepted Meta.
31:34Andre Ryu plays which stringed instrument professionally?
31:38Catherine and Lisa.
31:39Violin.
31:40Yes, the musician amongst us knew that one.
31:42Very good.
31:43Right, now, you're both neck and neck
31:44in terms of who might unlock the next high-value riddle.
31:48Good luck.
31:49What is the English name of the 30-metre-tall statue of Jesus
31:54that overlooks the city of Rio de Janeiro?
31:57Ben and Max.
31:58Christ the Redeemer.
31:59Yes, indeed.
32:01I think you knew it.
32:02It's just a question of getting to the buzzer.
32:04Well done.
32:04Another riddle for Ben and Max.
32:07Will he be crying out joy at the end of it?
32:10Who knows?
32:11Indeed.
32:11Hear ye, hear ye.
32:12Here comes a riddle.
32:13Using only words, I can create a sword.
32:16I can turn night into a different thing.
32:18A ragman that can change into what I am
32:22with a little help from me.
32:23What am I?
32:25Words and sword, I'm thinking pen
32:27because the pen is mightier than the sword.
32:28Exactly.
32:29I'm thinking can turn night into a different thing.
32:31Could be a dawn, could be a horizon,
32:33could be a sunrise.
32:35Could be anagram-esque of ragman.
32:37Ragman is not a thing, is it?
32:39No, but this is why, if a ragman can change into something,
32:43it could be an animagram of ragman.
32:45Yes, okay.
32:46I know, I like that.
32:47When I'm not an anagram guy.
32:49We changed it with a little help from me.
32:51So you add to the end and it can change into it
32:55or with a help.
32:56Ragman.
32:57So to create a sword.
32:58I think only words I can create a sword.
33:00Sword is a very specific word there.
33:02So it's got to be, that's a key there.
33:04Turn night into a different thing.
33:07Wait, yeah, because also sword,
33:09the words in words and sword are the same letters.
33:12Oh, okay, yes.
33:13Yes, no, it is.
33:14So is there something in that then?
33:15An anagram.
33:16Oh, um, a ragman is an anagram of anagram.
33:19Oh, oh, so it's anagram.
33:21But then turn night into a different thing.
33:24I guess, because night is the thing.
33:26Because night is thing.
33:27Yeah.
33:27Yes.
33:28Nice.
33:29Right.
33:30Yes.
33:31Hang on, you've got to lock it in
33:32and Henry's the one who's going to tell you,
33:34stop congratulating one another.
33:36Yeah, okay.
33:36I think we'd like to lock in anagram.
33:41Anagram.
33:42Yes.
33:45It's the right answer.
33:46Anagram.
33:47Yeah, absolutely right.
33:48Of course, well done.
33:48Yeah, anagram.
33:49Fantastic.
33:50I mean, as you said,
33:51midway through your deliberations,
33:52you're not an anagram guy.
33:54But you are now,
33:56because you've got it absolutely right.
33:57Anagram, of course.
33:58Yes, there's a few bits to this.
33:59Using only words, I can create a sword.
34:01So, sword is an anagram of words.
34:03I can turn night into a different thing.
34:05Thing is an anagram of night.
34:07A ragman can change into what I am.
34:10So, ragman, as you correctly identified,
34:12is an anagram of anagram,
34:14with a little help from me,
34:15me being the anagram.
34:16So, yeah, well done.
34:17It's devious.
34:18That's a really good one.
34:19I like that one.
34:20Might we say it's ridiculous?
34:22It is a bit ridiculous.
34:23It is indeed.
34:24So, £300 to Ben and Max.
34:27Super.
34:28Now, we've got one more riddle left
34:30in this round.
34:31Here we go.
34:32What eight-letter word
34:33derived from the Hindi
34:35meaning in the Bengal style
34:37is a term for a one-storey house?
34:39Ben and Max.
34:41Bungalow.
34:41Yes, it is.
34:43What does the letter U
34:45represent in the diving acronym SCUBA?
34:50Catherine and Lisa.
34:52Underwater?
34:52Yes.
34:53Very good.
34:55Which biologist published the book
34:58on the origin of species in 1859?
35:00Ben and Max.
35:01Charles Darwin.
35:02Correct.
35:04Adding the number of hours in a day
35:07to the number of days in a week
35:09gives what number in total?
35:11Catherine and Lisa.
35:1231.
35:13Correct.
35:14I think as an assistant head,
35:15you took your reputation into your own hands there,
35:18didn't you?
35:18Just recently heading up maths as well.
35:20Oh, you have?
35:21Yeah.
35:22I would have just backed away.
35:25Yeah, good.
35:26OK, so right now,
35:27both of you are neck and neck
35:28in terms of who will face Henry next.
35:30Good luck to both of you.
35:32What name is shared
35:33by a Rice Krispies mascot
35:36and the dance group
35:38that released the number one single
35:40Rhythm is a Dancer?
35:42Catherine and Lisa.
35:43Snap.
35:44Snap.
35:45That's the one.
35:45Well, that's brilliant
35:46because look at that.
35:47£100 to Catherine and Lisa.
35:49Now, this means that you get to tackle
35:51and try and crack
35:53our £300 riddle.
35:55Good luck.
35:56Good luck indeed.
35:58We run between mountains and hills,
36:00but without our leader,
36:01we run behind houses and shops.
36:04What are we?
36:06Right, what are you thinking?
36:07Well, I'm starting off with rivers.
36:09We run between mountains and hills.
36:12River streams.
36:13Run, run between,
36:15so it might not actually be geographically.
36:17Without our leader,
36:19a group needs a leader.
36:21A gang needs a leader.
36:23This is where we need a clue.
36:24We haven't got one.
36:25Shame we used it, yeah.
36:27We run behind houses and shops.
36:30And what's behind the back?
36:31Like back alleys, alleyways, corridors.
36:34Yeah, we run.
36:36Streets, alleyways.
36:37Without our leader,
36:39so without this,
36:40they run behind houses and shops.
36:43Without the leader,
36:44but without the leader.
36:45This is devious.
36:46This is.
36:47We run behind artists and shops.
36:48And it's this word.
36:49And it's like pipes, what runs.
36:51Another word for leader,
36:53manager,
36:54leader.
36:55Boss.
36:57It's a play on words, it's got to be.
36:58I know.
36:59Run behind shops.
37:01Runs.
37:02And there's something else that runs.
37:03Well, think about an animal that runs.
37:05Water.
37:05An animal that runs in the hills,
37:06like a deer.
37:07Have you got anything for Henry?
37:09No.
37:10No.
37:10People.
37:13People.
37:13People.
37:14People.
37:14Lucky people.
37:15People.
37:16People.
37:16It's wrong, I'm afraid.
37:18OK, so for a steal for half the value,
37:20Ben and Max,
37:21what's the answer in your view?
37:22We'd like to go with valleys.
37:24Valleys, Ben, why?
37:25So valleys run between mountains and hills,
37:27and if you talk about a leader as in the first letter,
37:30it's in the leader of the word.
37:31If you remove the V from valleys,
37:33you get alleys.
37:35It's the right answer, valleys.
37:37Absolutely right.
37:38Yeah, well done.
37:38Tricky one, but yeah, very well put together.
37:41Looking for the linguistic clues as well,
37:42yeah, leader being a linguistic clue,
37:44looking for the first letter, not the synonym,
37:46which was what you were looking for,
37:47so you, in the end, sadly, went down the wrong alley.
37:50We did.
37:50We did, absolutely.
37:51But you know what was really upsetting in a way
37:54was you said alleys about three times.
37:56Yeah, I did.
37:56You just didn't make the connection.
37:58Anyway, Ben and Max, you certainly did.
38:00Well done, that's £150.
38:03After that round, we have to say congratulations,
38:06Ben and Max, you are through to the final
38:08with a prize pot of £2,875.
38:13Yes, India, you weren't doing the maths.
38:15No, I was too busy.
38:16You were too busy doing the riddles.
38:18And Catherine and Lisa, you did so well.
38:20You actually got a prize pot in the end of £1,175.
38:24It does, though, mean it's time to say goodbye.
38:27Thank you very much.
38:28Thank you, yeah.
38:28I had a great time.
38:29And what do you think of these two?
38:31Amazing, isn't it?
38:31Amazing.
38:32Amazing young men.
38:34Absolutely, yes.
38:34We wish you all the best in the next round.
38:35Worthy opponents, obviously.
38:38And polite, too.
38:39Very lovely.
38:40Yes.
38:40Thank you so much.
38:41It's been a joy to have you on the show.
38:43Well, after the break, Ben and Max will face Henry's riddle run.
38:47Will they keep that cool under pressure when they're in the spotlight?
38:51But first, of course, Henry, let's have another riddle for the viewers to solve.
38:55A good idea.
38:56Which vegetable might you want in your soup, but definitely not in a vote?
39:00I'll give you the answer when we come back.
39:14Welcome back.
39:15This is ridiculous.
39:16Now, Henry, you set us all a mischievous riddle.
39:18I certainly did.
39:19I asked, which vegetable might you want in your soup, but definitely not in a boat?
39:25Ben and Max, as our champion riddle solver, I think you've got every single riddle right
39:28that you've faced, just about.
39:30Yeah, yeah.
39:30And include it.
39:31You've got some right that you haven't even faced that you've stolen from others as well.
39:34But any ideas on this one?
39:35I think it's a leak.
39:37A leak.
39:37Of course it is.
39:37Yeah, absolutely.
39:38A leak.
39:38It's a leak.
39:39L-E-A-K would be in a boat, of course.
39:41And a L-E-E-K would be in a soup.
39:44Now, Riddle Master, I don't know if you do have any protégés, but might I suggest,
39:49in the internship of Riddle Masters...
39:51Absolutely, yes.
39:52You may have a couple here.
39:53Incredible.
39:54Really, I mean, you've really broken them down.
39:56And you've not kind of known the answer straight away at the beginning, but you've worked together
39:59to figure it out, and that's been really fab.
40:01Yeah, well, I have to say, you have risen to the occasion magnificently.
40:05You've managed to accrue an impressive £2,875.
40:11It's not yours yet.
40:13No, no, it's not.
40:14It's not yours yet.
40:15But if it were to be, and I've got everything crossed for you, what would you do with it?
40:20I'm just about to start a gap year, and so I think it'd be really nice to have just some
40:23money in the back pocket.
40:24Yeah, definitely.
40:25What are you going to do in your gap year? Do you know yet?
40:26As the town cry of Redruth, I'm going to go to a town that Redruth is twinned with in Mexico
40:33for a bit.
40:34That'd be great, so that money would come in really useful for a trip.
40:36It might do, yeah.
40:37And what about you, Ben?
40:38One of the things that I'd really like to do is fund and run a show at the Edinburgh Festival
40:43Fringe.
40:43Funnily enough, one of the questions that you asked earlier.
40:46Yeah.
40:46Well, I feel like I may need both of your autographs before you leave, Henry.
40:49What do you think?
40:50Absolutely, definitely.
40:51They've got stars and wrists all over them.
40:53100%.
40:53But listen, you now have quite a big job ahead of you, because to take that great amount of money
41:00home, £2,875, you have to face Henry's riddle run.
41:05Henry, can you just explain to the lads what that is?
41:08Sure can.
41:08So in the riddle run, you're going to be facing puzzles where words are represented by combinations of letters and
41:13pictures.
41:13They're often known as rebus riddles, and the answers can be phrases, sayings, or a combination of words that are
41:18familiar to all.
41:19There are ten riddles in all, and you need six correct in 60 seconds to take home that money that
41:27you've built up so far.
41:28If you're not sure about a particular riddle, just say pass, and you can just come back to it later
41:33if you need to.
41:34And that's not all.
41:35If you do answer six correctly, you'll have a chance to double your winnings and take home £5,750.
41:43And don't worry if it all went a bit catastrophic.
41:46You will still go home with our collectible teacup and saucer.
41:51That's what we're all here for.
41:53First, though, we want you to face Henry's riddle run, wishing you all the luck in the world.
41:58Are you ready?
42:00Yes.
42:00Yes.
42:01Henry.
42:01Good luck, guys.
42:03You'll have 60 seconds, and the time will start as soon as your first riddle is revealed.
42:07Let's play.
42:10Eye of the Storm.
42:11Correct.
42:14Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, July.
42:15Ice Cream Sundae.
42:16Correct.
42:18Rainwater.
42:19Correct.
42:19Waterfall.
42:21Long teeth.
42:22Long teeth, long incisor.
42:24Long in the tooth.
42:25Pass.
42:25Correct.
42:26Passive-aggressive.
42:27Correct.
42:29Oh, greenhouse gases.
42:31Correct.
42:34Was it ever in doubt?
42:35Was it ever in doubt that these two would do it?
42:39That's good.
42:39I mean, not a single pass.
42:40Very impressive.
42:41Well done.
42:41You have just won £2,875.
42:48Nice.
42:49I'm thrilled for you.
42:51That's a lot of money.
42:52Well done.
42:53You didn't get a single riddle wrong.
42:55Very impressive.
42:55Excellent riddle solving.
42:57OK.
42:57So, Ben and Max, you've done so well.
43:00You've managed to win £2,875.
43:03And if that's enough for you, then we are delighted.
43:06You can finish the game and you can leave with that money.
43:10Or you can choose to face one last riddle.
43:14This time you'll have just 20 seconds to give an answer.
43:17If you get it right, you will double your winnings and you will take away £5,750.
43:25But if you can't find the right answer in those 20 seconds, you'll lose everything and then you'll leave with
43:31nothing, apart from, of course, the teacup and saucer.
43:35So, have a conversation, figure out what you want to do.
43:39If we pass on this and then it's a riddle that we get within five seconds, we will be, oh,
43:45it's a long train journey home thinking about that.
43:47It is.
43:48Even if we walk away with no money, it's been absolutely amazing.
43:52So, it's not really a loss.
43:54No.
43:56We love you so much.
43:58Yeah, let's do it.
44:00OK, you're brave.
44:02Clear heads.
44:03Yeah.
44:04Go for it.
44:05Very good, guys.
44:06All the very, very best of luck.
44:07Here is your final riddle.
44:0920 seconds will start as soon as it is revealed.
44:13Let's play.
44:15Versus.
44:16Versus the odds.
44:18Against the odds.
44:19Against the odds.
44:20The odds are against us.
44:24Oh, my goodness.
44:27Absolutely right.
44:28Of course, yeah, against the odds.
44:29Or against all odds, technically, because we are versus all odds and the dot, dot, dot at the end, the
44:33odds continue.
44:34So, yeah, absolutely right.
44:35Well done, guys.
44:36Congratulations.
44:37Max, have you got any energy in you to give us a town crier version of what just happened?
44:43Oh, yay.
44:44Oh, yay.
44:45Oh, yay.
44:47Against the odds.
44:49Yay.
44:54Absolutely amazing.
44:55Do you know what?
44:56On top of the money, you have 100% outsmarted the riddle master.
45:01I know.
45:02And we are all here for that.
45:03I'm furious.
45:03I'm furious.
45:04I've been defeated.
45:05I mean, you've got every riddle right there, I think, in your face, haven't you?
45:07I mean, you didn't even pass on one in the riddle run.
45:09Fantastic work, and congratulations for going for it, because not a lot of people do.
45:12It's a scary thing.
45:13It's a lot of money.
45:14You've been fantastic riddle solvers throughout the whole show, and you backed yourself, and, well, it's paid off.
45:19Congratulations.
