University Challenge S54E24 - Warwick v Oriel College, Oxford
Комментарии
Warwick Siddle here. Got about 2.5 hours sleep and had the looming threat of another Warwick second round exit so I was a bit jumpy this episode. Oriel got some good buzzes including, once again for teams against us, both picture rounds. Benjamin had a great episode including that lightning bonus q at 19:33 that took me several rewatches to figure out how they narrowed it down from the little Amol had said. And Hart was, as per, very good on the buzzer and the whole team was good on bonuses. For the UAE question 24:36 I still can't quite tell if I accidentally buzzed and then Amol luckily said 'Trucial' or if I reflexed on 'Trucial' and then took a few seconds to work it out but either way it worked out. Additionally we really should have watched Warwick's games last year in the immediate run up to this one because they got some picture bonuses that contained a Mucha painting/illustration and that would've been helpful...
They cut out us talking about our mascots so I’ll fill it in here. The frogs are called Frank and Gerry, we won them in a pub quiz. The elephant is on the Warwick coat of arms because it’s something to do with Coventry and it’s something Hart’s had for a few years. And the picture is of a dearly departed friend who never made it on the show and who’s no longer with us but lives on in our memories and through selecting the Warwick team each year... and practising with us now and again.
Late edit: I’ve finally remembered what I think I was buzzing on for UAE. I think it was going to be a really bad neg just based on the ‘treaties’ clue about The Treaty of Waitangi so I guess I’d have said Waitangi, Māori or New Zealand- but Rajan saying Trucial saved it.

Many thanks for this CP, and all the work you put into bringing us this series...

I like that Warwick did not piss around towards the end and play for time, as many teams do.

Thank you, CP! You are so dear. Really appreciate all you do for us. Good luck to the winners. It's getting tougher out there!

Thanks for the upload. Can’t remember last I saw a series with only two Oxbridge teams left after the second round. Now only Cantabrigians left.

I am worried about Mr. Hart's elbows.

Hart and Siddle seem like they could be the lead double act in a sitcom.

Really appreciate your dedication to sharing UC with us. Thank you, CP.

Warwick got points for "palititive care" at 6:46 but Oriel were penalised for "Soame" at 22:40
Are names ruled on more strictly or something?

I am genuinely upset that distance was accepted as an answer to a the area under a velocity time graph as it is fundamentally wrong... Im a physics teacher and I like to use clips from university challenege with my classes. Amazingly last week was a picture round on alevel physics practicals I was so excited.
And now Amol accepts distance!? Is he mad? The scalar vs vector issue is a very important learning point and is the root of my misconeptions in physics and this show - which should be the quintesence of pedanticness has gone and said screw it, distance and displacement same thing... Next thing we'll see is diffraction and refraction accepted as the same thing just because they can both disperse light when they are fundamentally different!
Sorry for the rant. I'll send a letter to the BBC

Apologies for publishing these late.
A little bit of Cosmic Pumpkin is a wonderful thing! All you players are fantastic and I am full of admiration for your knowledge, and nerve. I think I managed 2 questions, total! Most of it was like a foreign language to me.

The annoying elbow reminded me of a joke:
A guy goes to his doctor for elbow pain... The doctor gives him a specimen cup and requests a urine sample. “But doc, I’ve got elbow pain, why do you need a urine sample?” Doc assures him "we have the latest in technology, just go to the men’s room and give me a sample", which he does. The doctor pours it in the top of a complex analysis unit and a short time later, it reels out a tape reading. Doctor looks at it and says, "you have tennis elbow". "That’s ridiculous" he says’ "I don’t play tennis!" Doctor informs him it’s just a term for tendinitis in the elbow and sends him home with instructions not to overuse his arm and return in two weeks.
The guy returns two weeks later and the process is repeated. The doctor sends him home with the same instructions.
After several visits like this, the guy is certain the doctor is just racking up payable service hours, so before he goes to his next appointment he; has his wife pee in a can; his daughter pee in a can, makes his dog's pee in a can; puts some used oil from his car in the can and, for good measure; jacks off in it. He then hides it in the men’s room before the nurse takes him back to the examining room.
When the doc hands him the sample cup, he doesn’t question it and goes to the men’s room, pees in the cup and adds some of his stash to it, returning it to the doctor who blindly pours it in.
The unit goes crazy; smoking, whirring, lights flashing, alarms going off, so the doctor asks him to have a seat in the waiting room.
An hour later the guy is called back, a smirk on his face and the doctor pulls out a two-foot long printout and reads the diagnosis: your wife, Sarah, has syphilis; your daughter, Tina, is pregnant; your dog, Jack, has cancer; your 2016 BMW is low on oil and, if you don’t quit whacking off you’ll never get rid of that tennis elbow! 🤦♂️😂

I don't know why Amol laughed at the answer for the bulgarian question, Siddle gave a very good guess. It was as close as you can get.
Meeee-qo
well done septology, glad you got the silvia federici questions right haha

Distance is objectively incorrect if the velocity is ever negative? Too generous
