Nothing beats knowledge of nematodes and earthworms.
I love it when Jeremy Paxman says "And it's goodnight from me, goodnight" at the end :biggrin:




I'd love to take part in university challenge, but some of the questions are mind blowing! I just end up blankly staring thinking "What???!!"

I think it's saddening some of the things some people know.

Especially those on literature and kings. :biggrin:

I know! :smile:

It's mind-blowing! They have brains that are like sponges!


I'm the opposite though...I find it easier to remember literature, history, art and music. (I've realised recently that everything that I study at college is basially based upon stories, faith and myth...none of it is to do with any maths or science at all :smile: )

I am TERRIBLE at maths and science! hehe! I've tried to understand it but, no, never gonna happen.

Even though I prefer those certain subjects..it's incredible how much those guys know! They must of read nearly every book in the library by now. :biggrin:

I think a lot of it is visiting big manor houses and things like that as part of your youth, and a lot of exposure to that sort of information. Generally travelling the UK would help with the older history.

The (Biology questions at least) are typically only around A level standard apart from those on Latin species names.

I learnt all the geography I needed to know for University Challenge by playing a lot of Football Manager.

Got quite a few right today, and a fair few they didn't. Yay for philosophy questions.
