Gutted that I lost to oxford there, a pretty decent 125. Nonetheless, that was a poor performance by Christs.. :-/

Too early to call a winner? Trinity have an Economist, a Natural Scientist (who would also have good knowledge of Europe), a Classicist with great buzzer reactions and a Mathematician. They also do what many teams rarely do, which is confer before every answer and bring in every team member with discussion.

20 questions correct; including all the picture round questions. How could they not get the one on town suffixes? Trinity were fantastic, though!

Is it just me or did the captain of the Cambridge Trinity team have certain attributes similar to that of Sheldon Cooper?

At least a dozen people on twitter thought so too! Top theme of the evening, ahead of MacAulay not knowing how to sit on a chair....

I'm sorry! I don't mean to! I'm quite friendly really (most of the time!).
(As for this Sheldon Cooper chap, unlike him I can drive, I love talking to people and I don't understand physics. At all. Which is quite bad really.)

by AspiringGeniusYes that was an amazing name. I don't even know how to begin pronouncing it. 
The V is silent, the "no" is pronounced like the word, and the s is a sh sound. If that helps.
Roger Tilling gets it more or less right.Original post
by Good blokeA seriously good display of fast guessing that made a big difference to the scores. Well done!
Thank you.
I am still vaguely surprised that I guessed both zinc and Shelley (though the latter was at least an educated guess).Original post

Thank you, and everyone else who's been saying nice things about us.
Unfortunately our next match won't air for quite a while.Reply 1957
How do they do it recording wise? Do they do the whole series in one go, or do they do rounds at a time?

If any of us told you that, we'd have to kill you. (Rounds at a time)

You can sometimes work out which episodes were filmed when based on the contestants' changing hairstyles.
