I've not posted in a while - I see we have a new thread.

I'm going to catch up with all the episodes now:

York Vs Peterhouse

18 correct and I beat them on, if memory serves:

Regular Graph
Barley
Busan

St Cat's Vs St John's

Very enjoyable match - very close.

18 correct again and I recall beating them on:

Faun
White Dwarf

And possibly nothing else.

I say it a lot but if I knew the first thing about any STEM subject, classical music, opera or art I'd be much better at this :tongue:

Imperial Vs Nuffield

Only 14 correct this time unfortunately but I did get all three maths questions correct somehow (Hilbert's problems, Godel's incompleteness theorems and the Riemann hypothesis) and beat them on a few things that I remember such as paradigm and the USA's involvement in the Barbary Wars.

Finally, after all this wait, we only need to wait 54 more minutes to be able to take part in UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE!

You already know the rules, so I won't waste time explaining them

Fingers on buzzers...

I had somewhere in the region of 13 - 15 which is pretty average for me. I should have done much better as I facepalmed when I heard quite a few of the answers :dontknow:
