University Challenge; Quarterfinals

[kdc4]

The quarterfinal match (against Magdalen College, Oxford) is scheduled for Monday 4th of February.

I should note that Mr. Kelsey Jackson-Williams, the team's top scorer in rounds one and two, was not able to attend the quarterfinal match, despite numerous efforts to allow him to do so.

Mr. Duncan McKenzie takes his place at the far left.

Cheers,
-Doug

Oh dear, although I have faith in the rest of the team, can't help but feel the loss of Kelsey might spell the end of our team's chances.

I have heard a filthy rumour that ChristChurch Oxford wins the whole tournament (from my brother, an undergraduate at said uncouth institution)...if this were true could we have them disqualified for ruining the illusion of TV time?

Ruined in much the same way as you just have?

[Bizarre Atheist]

Quite. Though this could be a scaremongering/irritating tactic, I didn't think the final had even been recorded yet (isn't it broadcast in the summer?).

As you might have guessed, the subject of this year's UC is rather closely followed in my house!

Just wanted to remind those interested that the show is tonight at 8:00PM.

Cheers,

Good Luck.

I know that I know that makes no sense since it is prerecorded.

Not knowing the name of Beethovens 6th and not working out that apples and pears maths question was disappointing.

Best performance the university has put in for years though.

bloody good effort, well done! here's to next year's

[theonlyone]

A scientist on the team might not go a miss. But I suppose (well I hope) that was taken into account when the team was being selected. Not too bad an effort though. No disgrace to be put out in the quarter finals.
Well done for getting this far!

[Bizarre Atheist]

Congrats for putting up such a good fight.

Oddly one of the only questions I was sure about was the one you missed on Lionel Shriver. Perhaps UC needs a 'phone a friend' option?

Good effort chaps. Valiant even.

There is a scietist on the team. MacGregor studies maths

maths is not necessarily a science

Best performance the university has put in for years though.

When we also fell to Magdalen's sword, in 2003/04, in fact. Damn them.

Well done guys - no shame at all in getting to where you did, I reckon.

I think BBC's iPlayer was useful for the first ever time too actually, having just seen it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer

Just managed to catch the show. Sterling performance, guys - you're a tribute to the uni.
