1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.280
Written in lower case,
what is the only three letter word

2
00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:06.040
that looks the same when spun upside down?

3
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:08.360
The answer...
at the end of this grand final.

4
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:14.560
Welcome to the Lateral grand final.

5
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:18.320
Two teams here who have battled
through all the series so far.

6
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:23.160
One of them will be walking out with
the trophy, and we start with…

7
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.120
-I'm Simon Clark.
-I'm Sally Le Page and together we are…

8
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.560
it sounds like a really weird band,
we are Viva la Vida.

9
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:33.360
Team Viva, as I keep calling you,
I keep shortening it ever so slightly.

10
00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:35.040
Yeah, but it is actually Viva la Vida.

11
00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:37.480
-You are undefeated so far.
-We are.

12
00:00:37.480 --> 00:00:39.120
That's going to change,
I have no doubt.

13
00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:40.560
Come on!

14
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:42.440
Go in pessimistic, you're rarely disappointed.

15
00:00:42.440 --> 00:00:45.080
Well, so your first game was really close,

16
00:00:45.080 --> 00:00:47.320
-your first game came down to the wire.
-You could not have got more close.

17
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.880
Your second game, you actually didn't answer
a question in the final.

18
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:50.880
-Yeah.
-There we go.

19
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:53.240
-Yeah.
-I was told to sit on my hands for that one.

20
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.600
-It worked very well.
-I didn't really have to do anything.

21
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.720
-Your opponents just got completely locked out.
-Yeah.

22
00:00:57.720 --> 00:00:59.840
Do you think that's an advantage,
a disadvantage?

23
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.280
-Do you need the experience, whatever?
-I think we're rusty now actually.

24
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.400
Well, they, yeah, it's been a while
since the last round

25
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.400
and they have played another round
more than us.

26
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.160
So they are a little bit more
experienced at this game, so...

27
00:01:09.160 --> 00:01:10.200
But more tired.

28
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.920
And facing you is...

29
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.440
A completely knackered Team Terminator.

30
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.440
-Kat Arney, Helen Arney.
-Sisters, and...

31
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:21.120
-Juggernauts.
-Yes.

32
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.160
I mean you have blasted your way through.

33
00:01:23.160 --> 00:01:25.680
You've had one defeat on the way here,
but that's all.

34
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.120
-Yeah.
-So you've taken a slightly longer path.

35
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.840
-Yeah.
-Yeah, this is a rematch, isn't it?

36
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:31.640
Yeah.

37
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:35.200
This was the first game
and it was very close back then.

38
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.120
New questions, it all comes down to this,

39
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.880
very best of luck to both of you,
let's play round one.

40
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.000
You both know how it works by now,
six questions, 60 seconds,

41
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.720
the quicker you buzz in
the more points you get,

42
00:01:49.720 --> 00:01:51.720
but the less clues you will have heard.

43
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.880
We're going to start with you -
your first question is:

44
00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:59.720
Horse races, beer, road signs,
precious metals and land.

45
00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:02.360
What's the link between them?

46
00:02:03.160 --> 00:02:05.760
Okay, so Derby, like the…

47
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:08.720
Oh, okay, there's…

48
00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:11.080
People, horse races...

49
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:12.960
You get given a prize in guineas.

50
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.960
-Do you? Oh, okay.
-Well, some of them.

51
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.680
Precious metals,
you've got gold, silver.

52
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.640
These are some of the few exceptions
that are still allowed.

284
00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:23.480
Oh!

54
00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:25.080
Like not gambling.

55
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.040
-Imperial units.
-Ooh!

56
00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:31.520
-Are they measured in imperial units?
-Yes, go for that. I'll let you buzz.

57
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.040
Just in the nick of time for three points.

58
00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:35.720
Are they measured in imperial units?

59
00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:40.160
Yes, they are, in the UK those are
the few things that still use imperial.

60
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.160
Three points straight off.

61
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.760
You are off the mark
and we go over to Team Terminator.

62
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.000
In 1925, Dr. Crippen almost met a sticky end

63
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.200
when he was rescued from the locked chamber
of a building on fire.

64
00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:55.640
In the same disaster,
despite desperate efforts to save them,

65
00:02:55.640 --> 00:03:00.240
sportsmen, nobles and over 40 MPs perished
and many others were badly disfigured.

66
00:03:00.760 --> 00:03:03.520
Which London venue had burned down?

67
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:07.720
Oh my gosh, 1925, so it's going to be
a gentlemen's club or something.

68
00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:10.200
Or a theatre, something, sportsmen,
nobles and over 40 MPs...

69
00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:12.800
A locked chamber of a building on fire.

70
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.200
Oh, is it the Houses of Parliament?
-Houses of Parliament.

71
00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:16.800
On four points.

72
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.200
The Houses of Parliament?

73
00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:21.920
-Did not…
-House of Lords.

74
00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:26.040
…catch fire in 1925,
that is not the correct answer.

75
00:03:26.040 --> 00:03:28.040
The question goes over to the other team,
the clock restarts.

76
00:03:28.040 --> 00:03:29.200
Are you going to answer.

77
00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:31.800
You don't have to answer and you can
buzz in whenever you want, okay.

78
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.680
-Let's wait for another clue.
-Right.

79
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.520
-Burning down...
-No one was actually killed in this.

80
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.240
-Oh, was it Madame Tussauds?
-Oh, yeah.

81
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:41.400
Madame Tussauds.

82
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.440
Is correct for three points.

83
00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:49.120
They were wax figures that burned down,
'sticky end' is the keyword in there.

84
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.000
-Oh, man!
-Next question is also to you.

85
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:57.600
In 1933, activist Choudhry Rahmart Ali
wrote in his pamphlet 'Now or Never'

86
00:03:57.600 --> 00:04:02.400
that "30 million Muslim brethren" lived in
five eastern regions of the British Raj:

87
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.200
Punjab, Afghania, Kashmir,
Sindh and Balochistan.

88
00:04:06.200 --> 00:04:09.560
-I think it's Bangladesh.
-How is this approximate region known today?

89
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.960
I think, because that's what the division was
between India and Bangladesh.

90
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.120
Go ahead. I don't know.

91
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:15.080
Bangladesh.

92
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.400
Is not the correct answer,
so the whole question gets thrown over,

93
00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:21.400
-buzz if you want to, the clock restarts.
-I think it is Pakistan.

94
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.480
-I think it's…
-Well, Kashmir isn't that…

95
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.240
-Kash, no Kashmir…
-That is the disputed...

96
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:28.600
Shall we wait for one more?

97
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.440
No, hang on,
yeah, let's hold up because...

98
00:04:30.440 --> 00:04:32.040
This is a current country.

99
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.120
Yeah. It is Pakistan.

100
00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:36.360
Yes, it is, for three points.

101
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.760
What's the clue hidden in that question?

102
00:04:39.760 --> 00:04:43.080
I thought it was that there were 30 million
Muslim brethren in India

103
00:04:43.080 --> 00:04:44.960
and it was like a trick question.

272
00:05:45.440 --> 00:04:44.960
-The French Revolution.
-No.

105
00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:46.760
-No.
-But that was perspective.

106
00:04:46.760 --> 00:04:48.920
I think Sally's just figured out...

107
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:52.000
It starts with a P, an A, a K.

108
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.840
-It is an acronym.
-an S and a tan.

109
00:04:53.840 --> 00:04:58.080
Yeah, it's a portmanteau,
it's all those names jammed together.

110
00:04:58.440 --> 00:05:02.160
So, yes, three points to team Terminator
and the next question is yours.

111
00:05:02.520 --> 00:05:03.920
For most card games,

112
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.360
the aces are generally regarded as
the most important cards in the pack

113
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.280
but it hasn't always been this way.

114
00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:12.560
Which major historical event
of the late 18th Century

115
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.560
is said by experts to have been
a catalyst for this change?

116
00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:19.600
Right. So …

117
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.560
Oh, well, it's going to be the revolution,
the French Revolution, something like that.

118
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.680
Oh, something like that, yes,
because cards were French.

119
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:29.880
Or American Independence.

120
00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:31.280
No, but France has…

121
00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:33.520
Originally, the ace was the least important.

122
00:05:34.200 --> 00:05:38.040
Previously the ace was least important,
but that meant the king was the most important.

123
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.520
So that like… it was almost like
you had to regicide the cards.

124
00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:43.920
-Are we going to go with the French Revolution?
-I think we should.

125
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:45.440
-Go, do it.
-For three points.

327
00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:46.840
-The 'at' symbol.
-Is correct.

127
00:05:46.840 --> 00:05:47.720
Yes!

128
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.240
Absolutely right, the king used to be
the most important card

129
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.240
and then the ace was placed on top

130
00:05:52.760 --> 00:05:54.920
Which ties the scores.

131
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.320
The next question is on the buzzer
for both teams,

132
00:05:57.320 --> 00:05:59.000
so if you're ready have a look at this.

133
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:06.000
Why do Americans count the number of chirps
a cricket makes in 15 seconds and then add 40?

134
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.320
Oh, for four points right away.

135
00:06:07.320 --> 00:06:11.720
-Oh, it's the temperature in....Fahrenheit.
-Farenheit.

136
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:13.800
Is exactly the correct answer.

137
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.200
-Oh, team work, team work, sister.
-You're absolutely right.

138
00:06:16.200 --> 00:06:19.040
I needed in Fahrenheit in there as well,
that's the adding 40.

139
00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:22.040
The crickets get faster as it gets warmer,

140
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.400
which for someone who is in working
on a PhD about insect biology,

141
00:06:25.400 --> 00:06:27.160
I thought that was a home question
when I saw it.

142
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.920
They answered again, because this happened
before, I waited until the end of the question.

143
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:33.480
The last question in this round.

144
00:06:33.880 --> 00:06:38.080
The Russian botanist, Nikolai Vavilov
spent 1924 in Afghanistan

145
00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:39.840
to study their farming culture.

146
00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:43.360
He noticed that in Herat province
they had hundreds of huge dovecotes.

147
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.040
Apart from food, why did they need
so many pigeons?

148
00:06:48.520 --> 00:06:50.440
Oh, for four points again.

149
00:06:50.440 --> 00:06:54.680
-Poop, they needed the fertiliser.
-Pigeon poop for the guano,

150
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.840
-Phosphates in the…
-Is again the correct answer.

151
00:06:58.840 --> 00:07:02.720
The only way to fertilise the soil there
was through guano.

152
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.520
I'm just going to say, I've been thinking a lot
about pigeon poop recently

153
00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:08.240
for reasons that I shan't go into now.

154
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.800
I mean at the end of that poop talk…

155
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.920
Basically, Tom,
we don't need you any more(!)

156
00:07:13.280 --> 00:07:18.240
The scores were tied, but now at the
end of round one, they are 14 to 6.

157
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:19.440
It's alright, we can do this.

158
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:23.920
Round two is Second Thought.

159
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.280
You all know how this works,
we're going to see a board with 12 clues on it.

160
00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:30.200
What is the thing they're all pointing to?

161
00:07:30.200 --> 00:07:32.840
Team Viva, you are going to be going first,
pick a number.

162
00:07:32.840 --> 00:07:34.600
-Number twelve, please.
-Number twelve.

163
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:36.000
For five points.

164
00:07:36.640 --> 00:07:37.520
Salad.

165
00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:38.680
-Rocket.
-Caesar.

166
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:39.760
Rocket.

167
00:07:40.200 --> 00:07:42.040
Rocket is not what I've got, so...

168
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.400
-Number six.
-Number six.

169
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:46.040
Shakespeare.

170
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.480
Shakespeare, well, you know, he said Caesar

171
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.920
and I reckon that we'll just say Caesar
because they stole our electromagnet.

172
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:54.320
So I'm going to say Caesar.

173
00:07:54.320 --> 00:07:55.480
It is the correct answer.

351
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:55.480
-No, it's a pun on his surname: 66, Root 66.
-Oh!

382
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:57.800
-Yes!
-The trophy is yours.

176
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.600
Astonishingly, you got a load of points
in the last game.

177
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.000
We didn't mean to steal your electromagnet,
it was the other guys.

178
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:08.520
No, your opponents in the last game
stole points essentially by overhearing you

179
00:08:08.520 --> 00:08:10.440
-and this time it worked the other way.
-I'm so sorry.

180
00:08:10.440 --> 00:08:13.120
-I am so sorry, you said Caesar.
-I literally... okay, it's fine.

181
00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:18.880
So that is five points over here
and you get the first pick of the next board.

182
00:08:18.880 --> 00:08:20.880
-Ten.
-Number ten.

183
00:08:21.880 --> 00:08:23.520
Recommended for travellers.

184
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:25.320
-Malaria jab.
-Can I have one?

185
00:08:25.320 --> 00:08:25.320
-Yeah, go on.
-Hitachi.

186
00:08:25.320 --> 00:08:26.960
-Yeah, go on.
-Bumbags!

187
00:08:26.960 --> 00:08:28.560
Bumbags, is not the answer.

188
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.000
I don't think they've ever actually
been recommended(!)

189
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:34.520
I just really thought, like bums is going to
be the answer at some point,

190
00:08:34.520 --> 00:08:37.320
I thought I'd try and get it in as bumbags.
Not this time.

191
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.040
-Okay.
-So for 5 points.

192
00:08:39.040 --> 00:08:40.480
-Number three.
-Number three.

193
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.280
Sometimes mandatory.

194
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:47.920
-Vaccinations.
-Try, yeah.

195
00:08:47.920 --> 00:08:50.440
-Vaccinations?
-It's a good guess based on those two,

196
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.000
but it's not what I've got,
so passing it back over.

197
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.680
-Let's go number one.
-Number one.

198
00:08:54.680 --> 00:08:56.200
I want to pick number one.

199
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.200
National or private.

200
00:08:58.920 --> 00:09:00.040
Insurance.

201
00:09:00.040 --> 00:09:03.280
Is correct, national insurance
or private insurance,

202
00:09:03.280 --> 00:09:05.640
sometimes required
and recommended for travellers.

203
00:09:05.640 --> 00:09:08.760
-So that's another four points over there.
-That's good.

204
00:09:08.760 --> 00:09:10.680
-Are you guys okay over there?
-Yeah.

205
00:09:10.680 --> 00:09:12.160
The first pick's yours, so...

206
00:09:12.160 --> 00:09:13.400
We're going to get to pick, it's fine.

207
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:15.720
-Lucky number seven.
-Number seven.

208
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:17.680
Engagement.

209
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.200
Okay. Don't say anything,
we made the mistake last time.

210
00:09:20.880 --> 00:09:22.040
Prior.

211
00:09:22.040 --> 00:09:25.680
Prior is not what I've got,
so I'm passing it back over for five points.

212
00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:27.680
-Nine.
-Number 9.

213
00:09:28.400 --> 00:09:29.760
Suit.

214
00:09:29.760 --> 00:09:32.800
Oh, I think I know what this is.

215
00:09:32.800 --> 00:09:34.040
-Already?
-Yeah.

216
00:09:34.040 --> 00:09:35.400
I think it's diamonds.

217
00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:39.000
And you're right, for five points,
that's astonishing, Kat.

218
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.240
I may have been engaged twice, okay,

219
00:09:41.240 --> 00:02:21.480
so if anyone wants to buy
some lightly used diamonds.

284
00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:23.480
Oh!

254
00:09:45.760 --> 00:09:47.200
-It's fine.
-It can be done.

222
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:49.920
-Leave some points for us, guys.
-There's still five points left in this game.

223
00:09:49.920 --> 00:09:51.120
-I feel good.
-Five!

224
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:52.480
You're first pick off the next board.

225
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.800
Alright, so let's go number four.

226
00:09:54.800 --> 00:09:56.480
-Number four.
-Number four.

227
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:58.320
Must be chosen to join.

228
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.040
If you're a chosen one, to be joined.

229
00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:03.080
-Religion.
-It must be, yeah.

230
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.040
-The WI.
-The WI.

231
00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:06.080
The WI.

232
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.000
Is not the right answer,
so passing it back over.

233
00:10:08.680 --> 00:10:10.680
-Number nine, please.
-Number nine.

234
00:10:11.880 --> 00:10:13.320
In a palace.

235
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:14.720
Is it king or queen of England?

236
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:16.680
I don't think you're chosen to be
king or queen of England.

237
00:10:16.680 --> 00:10:20.400
-Are you not chosen by God?
-Oh! Oh well, what do you join?

238
00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:23.520
-The royal family.
-I need an answer, please.

239
00:10:23.520 --> 00:10:25.520
The monarch of England.

240
00:10:25.520 --> 00:10:28.240
No, is not right, so passing it back over.

241
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.240
-Two.
-Number two.

242
00:10:31.160 --> 00:10:32.600
Green seats.
Oh!

243
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.280
Well, the green seats is one of them is green
and one of them is red, isn't it?

244
00:10:35.280 --> 00:10:38.040
So like House of Lords, House of Parliament,
and now I'm panicking because it's…

245
00:10:38.040 --> 00:10:40.280
-Palace of Westminster.
-It's Westminster, is it green seats are MPs.?

246
00:10:40.280 --> 00:10:42.080
No, but you if you're chosen,
you have to be elected.

247
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.480
Yes, you're not chosen, no,
but you're selected as a Lord as well,

248
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:46.320
-so it's a palace, Lambeth Palace.
-I need an answer.

249
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.160
I think green seats are the elected MPs,
aren't they?

250
00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:50.640
The green is MPs, so it's the House of Commons.

251
00:10:50.640 --> 00:10:52.840
Is the correct answer.

252
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:58.480
Oh, that is a clean sweep of round two
at really high scores.

253
00:10:58.880 --> 00:09:45.760
Which leaves us with a 26 point difference.

254
00:09:45.760 --> 00:09:47.200
-It's fine.
-It can be done.

255
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:06.560
Good luck.

256
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:11.520
The last round of the grand final is
Quick Thought.

257
00:11:11.520 --> 00:11:12.640
You both know how it works.

258
00:11:12.640 --> 00:11:15.760
There's 3:40 on your clock for that
massive advantage.

259
00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:18.040
-There is 1:30 on yours.
-Just rub in, Tom, just rub it in.

260
00:11:18.040 --> 00:11:19.040
Keep saying it.

261
00:11:19.040 --> 00:11:21.520
Your clock is going to start
counting down first,

262
00:11:21.520 --> 00:11:24.960
buzz in to stop the clock,
get it right to start your opponent's,

263
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.880
get it wrong, ten seconds away,
and your clock starts again.

264
00:11:27.920 --> 00:11:29.920
-If everyone's ready.
-Uh-huh.

265
00:11:29.920 --> 00:11:33.400
In France, which date or event
is referred to as 'Jour-J'?

266
00:11:34.800 --> 00:11:36.960
Jour-J, is that the George is it…

267
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.360
Jour is day, so it's just what J means.

268
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.920
J, like me day, birthday?

269
00:11:41.920 --> 00:11:44.360
The English equivalent is also alliterative.

270
00:11:48.160 --> 00:11:49.560
New Year, May day.

271
00:11:51.640 --> 00:05:45.440
This is one of the most famous
events in history.

272
00:05:45.440 --> 00:04:44.960
-The French Revolution.
-No.

273
00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:59.760
-Christmas.
-Liberation.

274
00:11:59.760 --> 00:12:01.360
Jesus' birth, Easter.

275
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.360
This is in 1944.

276
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:05.840
D Day.

277
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:07.680
-D Day.
-D Day is correct.

278
00:12:07.680 --> 00:12:10.760
The D Day landings, 3:40 on your clock.

279
00:12:10.760 --> 00:12:14.160
What kind of person might do
a 'finger fumbler' for fun?

280
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.640
A finger fumbler, then we can wait
and we get a clue can't we?

281
00:12:18.640 --> 00:12:21.040
-We'll get a clue.
-Yeah, yeah. No, is it a magician?

282
00:12:21.040 --> 00:12:23.080
-A finger fumbler.
-As the name implies,

283
00:12:23.080 --> 00:02:21.480
if you get it wrong it could be painful.

284
00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:23.480
Oh!

285
00:12:26.280 --> 00:12:28.720
Is it like knife throwing?

286
00:12:30.040 --> 00:12:31.880
Yeah... knife juggling?

287
00:12:31.880 --> 00:12:34.640
It's an equivalent activity
to a tongue twister.

288
00:12:35.800 --> 00:12:37.120
A tongue twister.

289
00:12:37.680 --> 00:12:42.600
Finger fumbler, like a…
like a Rubik's Cube, like a…

290
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:45.680
It's a type of person
that uses their digits a lot.

291
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:49.080
-A pickpocket.
-A magician.

292
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:51.080
Yeah, go for it.

293
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.000
A close-up magician.

294
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:56.760
No, it's a deaf person;

295
00:12:56.760 --> 00:12:59.280
it's the equivalent of a tongue twister
in sign language.

296
00:12:59.280 --> 00:13:01.960
So your clock restarts
with ten seconds less on it.

297
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:07.400
Which reggae and pop group took their name from
the application form for unemployment benefit?

298
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:08.960
UB40.

299
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:12.400
UB40 is correct,
55 points, seven seconds on your clock.

300
00:13:12.400 --> 00:13:17.120
In the Bible, who instantly killed exactly 25%
of the world's population?

301
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.960
Oh, it's … which one killed,
Cain and Abel, which one killed the other?

302
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:23.960
-Cain.
-Is correct.

303
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:25.360
Cain slew Abel.

304
00:13:25.800 --> 00:13:27.200
Two minutes 45.

305
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:32.040
Which video-gaming device was inspired by the
way that sumo wrestlers weigh themselves?

306
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:36.360
How do sumo wrestlers weigh themselves?

307
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.280
Oh, do they hang off a thing?

308
00:13:38.280 --> 00:13:40.040
Sumo wrestlers are heavy.

309
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.880
Yeah. That wasn't the question.

310
00:13:46.400 --> 00:13:48.840
We know they're heavy
but how do they weigh themselves?

311
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:51.480
So heavy they have to weigh themselves
on two scales.

312
00:13:52.920 --> 00:13:54.760
They have to…
no, but it's a console.

313
00:13:54.760 --> 00:13:56.280
-A gaming console,
-A gaming device.

314
00:13:56.280 --> 00:13:58.360
So is it a Wii, what, a joystick?

315
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.120
Moving their weight side to side
changed the readings.

316
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.560
Oh, oh, oh. Go, go, go.

317
00:14:02.560 --> 00:14:04.840
It's the Wii, Wii board, the Wii surfboard,
you know,

318
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:08.240
the Wii surfboardy thing
where you stand up and you wiggle around.

319
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.800
I'll take it, it's the Wii fit balance board,
yes, you're right.

320
00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:13.560
-Honestly.
-47.3 on your clock.

321
00:14:14.040 --> 00:14:20.400
.--.-. was added to the Morse code in 2004
to represent which character?

322
00:14:20.880 --> 00:14:22.120
Can you repeat it please?

323
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:23.800
.--.-.

324
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.240
It was the first character to
be added since World War 2.

325
00:14:29.800 --> 00:14:31.800
Could it be the 'at' symbol?

326
00:14:32.440 --> 00:05:45.440
It could. It's worth it.

327
00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:46.840
-The 'at' symbol.
-Is correct.

328
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:38.360
You're on it.

329
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:41.680
2:12 on your clock,
complete this quote by Will Rogers:

330
00:14:41.680 --> 00:14:44.800
'The trouble with political jokes is
that often they get…'?

331
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:51.040
-Voted to be President of the United States!

-Shall we just take the hit on this?
-Yeah, let's go.

350
00:15:37.280 --> 00:07:55.480
