The third of the first round matches in this year's University Challenge (Series 43). Hope you enjoy it! I do not own this video. No copyright infringement intended.
a) I deeply appreciate how often Drnovšek Zorko strokes his beard whilst pondering answers. b) How Morley wriggles in his seat when he knows an answer; or more specifically the moment when he 'went to see the play as well', wriggled, then knew the answer, brilliant!
Sheldon everywhere, they did it very good, they were quick, Christ Church team looked more nervous and quite unconfident. Drnovsek Zorko was awsome. Very good
So A PPE before he states his town of origin A Belgian with a non-Belgian name and accent A non-Chinese Hong Konger And a Pole with an American accent. Seems legit
In this episode, Andreas Capstack from Christ Church introduces himself as being from Belgium, yet in another match against Clare college, Cambridge, he says he is from Norway...
@@pigeonlove You are not from your birthplace but from the place where you grew up. A child born in Holland en route to England, where s/he grows is not from Holland.
When this Episode started and i've seen the Boys from Trinity i ALREADY KNEW they would win.. i man they have Dr. Sheldon Cooper.. I mean Morley.. Ridley and Zorko. Those 3 Nailed the Other College damn Hard. i loved how Capstack from Christ Churck celebrated at Point 50 to 60 after the Answer like he won a Victoriry lol
Alphaville is the one i knew whitout thinking i mean i thought it was one of the easiest questions. At the same questions i didnt know a lot of answers they got right
+Kartik Jain But they are not supposed to be normal people, they are picked out of all who apply for the team. I knew half of the answers to these questions, it's because I've spent a lifetime picking up facts and information.
Education, curiosity and a lot of practise of course. Remember these are the top students in the qualifying tests set by the producers prior to their selection for the team.
@@gordygibson8776 IMHO curiosity/interest is the driving force. A person may be of superior intelligence but not be interested and therefore not possess knowledge of so many different subjects.
Basically what they want is the number of ways you could pick a team of 4 students given 7 students to pick from. This is a problem known as 'n choose k', the number of ways of picking a group of k things from a group of n things. The way you work it out is this: You have 7 choices for the first student, 6 choices for the second, 5 for the third, and 4 for the 4th. So you have 7*6*5*4 = 840 team choices. But you don't care what order a team is in-- if Alice, Bob, Charlie and Dan are in a team, that's the same team no matter which order you pick. So, how many ways are there of arranging just A,B,C,D in a team? You have 4 choices for the first person, 3 for the second, 2 for the third, and then the last is fixed. So that's 4*3*2*1 = 24. So in counting your 840 choices before, you in fact counted each 'team' 24 times, just reordered each time. So your final answer is 840/24 = 35 teams. Hope this helps!
