University Challenge

I really enjoyed the map question, partly because my Dad is originally from Ramsbottom!

I was a bit embarrassed not to get Cleopatra's Nose, as I actually knew that.

So Magdalen to win then? Is that what we think?

a very enjoyable show last night.

we shall miss Mr Trueblood.

bear™ beat the brains on these answers:

Turbulent Flow

Levi Strauss

Taiwan ( bear™ said Formosa which is even better )

Men of Harlech ( even though bear™ is not Welsh )

Haha, yeah, I got those last two, but I said "Taiwan" and I definitely knew it was Formosa.

I don't think Magdalen can be stopped now.

hehehe you have forgotten the mighty

You're right. I've forgotten them.

Let's hope they turned up on the night, a final of only one team is so dull.

is it possible to bet on the outcome ?

I'm sure Twitter will be thrilled at another all-male Oxbridge University Challenge final.

Just watched tonite's show. G&C were on fine form, not showing any stress.

bear™ knew Permian and Ordovician/Silurian and Schumann and Manet

bear™ knew none of the American Revolutionary Ladies

The important thing is that Caius have already beaten Magdalen, so if they lose the final we can blame it all on the format.

I figured out the Marvell, Donne and Milton, even though I had no idea what was going on with the word changes.

I got the Permian one, but I didn't know the others. I was too busy wondering why Cretaceous begins with a 'C' and the boundary extinction is called 'K'-T.

I knew the revolutionary ladies! However, I was severely stumped by (but enjoyed nonetheless) the n+7 avant garde poetry.

Yeah, the Milton one was easier, but that was cool knowing the others, you'd have to be really into 17th Century poetry.
