    So Merton has the highest score in the entire first round. Pretty balanced, seemingly reserved but intelligent team. Congrats.

      Merton won't shake up Twitter/ratings as lack personality cept for Wiberg, so they will be 'nudged' off UC :)

    Just found out that I finished watching this episode in another CZcams channel, thinking it was your upload.
    Still, came here to rewatch because Psiman=University Challenge.

    Thanks for the upload! Nice to see a good team from Merton-Oxford, Woodland is a strong captain. Bound to go far!

    • @Sandra27HK

      Woodland was unashamedly 'fed' Physics/Maths questions, 4 to be exact. I hope she is as 'strong' in future rounds on other topics as well. Her 5th was famous Russian rivers, easy peasy.

    Superb performance by Woodland.

      Not really ... she got 4 on her subject, and Russia's 2 longest rivers ...

    I'm quite glad the first round is over. Time to get SERIOUS!

    Merton and King were both great. Merton may go far but they will have to face some stronger teams to have their mettle tested. Also funny how Woodland looked like she was about to cry throughout the whole episode.
    Thanks for the upload psi!!

      It's likely because of nerves. She'd be less depressed looking off camera I imagine

    St. John's, Cambridge and Merton, Oxford for yet another Oxbridge final. I'm calling it now.

    Merton are beasts, I love that the whole team was useful, not just one person like other winners.

    I loved the King's team, too bad we won't see them again :(

    "Pryer not only failed to buzz in to answer the geography questions, at 26:43 he confidently says "darjeeling" and gets a well deserved death stare from the brilliant captain of King's.."

      Thank you for noticing this. Hahahaha. I was reading the comments just to find something related to this guy.
      Nonetheless, amazing performance.

    St Johns versus Merton Oxford is the final I'd like to see. Time will tell, but if it ended up that way, it'd be a ripper, I reckon...

    how can yo not recognize Harriet Tubman after your colleague said her name

  • @Ramboost007
    @Ramboost007 Před 6 lety +5

    The questions were really easy, especially the starters, which makes Merton stronger than they seem. It's gonna be St. Hugh's, St. Anne's, UCL, and Ulster for the losers playoffs then.

    So much for the claim that teams with older players have an unfair advantage on the teams made up of 20 year olds. (Actually, the trick seems to be to have one slightly older PhD student mixed in with a bunch of twenty year olds.)

    The abbreviation of Zürich is ZH... How does that correspond with CHinese ??? They mean the abbreviation of Switzerland CH?

    • @SvobodovaEva
      @SvobodovaEva Před 6 lety +2

      PCouture11 Because the code for Chinese is ZH

    • @ep1873

      Chinese is Zhongwen(中文) in Chinese

    top lol, king's introductions were the most awkward so far.

    What an absolute _thrashing_ the losing team got. Brilliant!

    • @Sandra27HK
      @Sandra27HK Před 6 lety

      Yep with ALOT of help from the question-setters :(

    • @adamwalker9796
      @adamwalker9796 Před 6 lety +1

      Certain teams get help from the question setters according to Mr. Booth; like Warwick for instance.

    • @Sandra27HK
      @Sandra27HK Před 6 lety

      Can't speak for Booth as you do :P but FOUR/21 were Physics/Maths starters with just the one Physics student lapping them up ... or 70 points worth of Art when Courtauld appeared yet this week not a single Art question ... etc. etc. Feel free to check my previous posts citing facts n stats, not opinion.

    • @adamwalker9796

      I don't speak for Mr. Booth. But where else have you posted?

  • @Sandra27HK
    @Sandra27HK Před 6 lety +1

    I cringed all 4 times Woodland correctly answered the maths/physics questions ... she didn't look too happy either. BBC yet again forcing an outcome. Questions were pretty easy so the outcome was down to the quicker buzzer fingers, obviously the game-playing 'average age 23' year-olds, not the 'average age 40' year-olds. Certainly NOT a level playing field.
    And what's with ALL 4 Shakespeare sonnets? Haven't the question setters heard of Donne,.Wordsworth, Keats, Rossetti et al?

    Woodland seems like she's eternally on periods.
