8:45 I was just screaming "it's just 'dialysis' you overthinkers"
And then the next bonus question they almost overthought themselves out of 5 points again before UEA North (9:12) reminded them of the same 3 starting letters hint
Hello again! Another week, another contender for the title of "strongest team". What sets the winners apart is their buzzer speed…tremendous. They will be a tough out going forward. The losing team were better than their score indicates IMHO, they just didn't get a chance to answer more often due to being constantly out-buzzed. My best to both teams, and to each individual.
I like Amol’s genial manner while keeping up the pace, but he is beginning to annoy me with some of the phrases he is using that are kind of patronizing, like ‘At least you got to be on TV’, and ‘are you nervous?’’ And as someone else mentioned, ‘plenty of time to get going’. Not really encouraging when what it actually means is you are way behind! Still like him though!
Thanks, Cosmic P! A very good performance by Warwick (surely their best team in years!), impressively dominated by Hart and Siddle but with support from the others.
The fact that UEA seemed more of a team performance but that one very strong performance from Warwick made the difference. Hart seemed to know everything.
Thank you, CosmicP! Incredible performance from Warwick who seemed incredibly well prepared in every way. I think may have been the most serious looking team I have ever seen on UC!
We've seen decent teams with an obvious strongest player crash and burn before. We'll see if Warwick can avoid that fate. I have to root for them a little with a member of the team being from my own home town and old school (the headmaster tweeted about it this morning).
Thought UEA fought well and with a different opponent might have done better. Was hoping for them to get another 20-30 for stronger 2nd chance potential. I doubt their score will be enough.
I do enjoy "plate glass" unis doing well having gone to one myself!
Good game! Well done to Warick..Hart and Siddle elbows bent over the buzzer! Two great players. Two fairly serious teams, not a lot of giggles and banter. Maybe that's a good thing😊.Thanks CP.
Warner last week, Hart this week with incredible speed and knowledge with good teams. Would be exciting to see them go head-to-head later in the series!
So these guys knows everything but don't know the stuffs they are actually studying for. Two mathematicians but they all get wrong on maths related stuffs.

North's left earring is sick

North reminds me of Newnham's Chen
Hart and Siddle are a strong pair, going to be hard to beat. Another exciting match!

I think Hart will take his team to the finals. Thank you CP.

12:15 all the geographical questions have me remembering Imperial Zeng's voice.

What is the tape on Siddle’s sleeve covering up?
The amount of guessing (vs. knowing) in this one, esp. from Warwick, was disturbing, no offense meant.
That Ukraine cardinal directions question was a total freebie

Kolkata kids are so good in quizzing the aristocratic culture that values knowledge over money still prevails
what did the "Islamic Mongrel conqueror" do with the dogs ?

14:10 “Johann Strauss Senior”. A few seasons ago there was a music question which was answered:
“Strauss”
Paxman: “Which one?”
“Johann Strauss”
Paxman: “which ONE!”
“Johann Strauss Junior”
Paxman: “Wrong, it was Senior”
Woohoo, got four right this time…me so smart

Hart was on fire
Thanks again for posting.🌷
9:23 maybe the first appearance of a fidget toy on UC? I love those little things
Hart was so awesome!
I still don’t like the new hosts niceties, too many “well dones” and “unlucky’s” …bring back the pax.
question was about a mosque!
27:46 We vaguely enjoyed the experience. You got on tv, that’s the main thing.
As an American, these statements sound condescending and patronizing…. But I suppose it’s different across the pond…
Most relatable thing as a mathematician is being unable to answer high school mathematics questions
15:02 of course the young ozzy lookalike gets this one
