University Challenge

What a jumper.

Chaudriā€™s? If I was to admit having that jumper would it be a good or bad thing?
Iā€™m gonna check when I get home but it looks awfully similar to one I have.

Not a tricky one. English translations of South American capital cities is a staple topic for University Challenge and Only Connect.

there are only a dozen countries in South America.

Obscure physicists and chemists would be a more typical staple question type on UC.

I didnā€™t know the answer myself, but it is logical enough and they are all quite clever- seems like a relatively handy one.

Surprised he didnā€™t get the Belgrade/Casablanca one.

Edinburgh v Balliol, Oxford tonight. 8 minutes away.

Looks like a young Stephen Fry there on the left for Balliol

Smith should be captaining Edinburgh. Boyle not strong enough.

Balliol will not be stopped here.

The Scotch are heading for the exit door.

Nothing like a classical education.

Itā€™ll be Goldman v Monkman in the final.

Edinburgh are a disgrace

They were probably allowed into it on some equal opportunities programme.

Nice easy starter on the Marcoses there.

Full house for me on the corrupt leaders. :clap:

Edinburgh getting a few right in garbage time. Nowhere to be seen when the pressure was on.

Bit like Tyrone yesterday.

Final tonight. Monkman backers sign in here.
