"Welcome to Hive Minds, the quiz where simply knowing the answers isn't enough - you've got to find them as well." "Let's meet this week's Hive Minds." "Mendelians, welcome back." "Introduce yourselves, please." "I'm Shreya, I'm a medical news writer from London." "I'm Cesta, I'm an editor of a scientific journal, also from London." "I'm Andrew, I work in science publishing, and I live in London." "Very good to see you again." "Pascallywags, over to you." "I'm Rob, I'm from Torquay." "I'm Andy, I'm a data analyst from London." "I'm Dorian, I'm a mathematics and English tutor from Bath." "Well, very nice to see you back again as well." "And a little bird tells me, Cesta, it's your birthday." "It is." "And you are celebrating it here with us!" "Your new family on Hive Minds." "Tell me you're going to be doing something else with your day?" "Well, I very much hope so." "So do I. Let's see how you get on." "Welcome, and you are playing for a place in our grand final." "Of course, you've done brilliantly to get to this point." "Best of luck to you both, let's play Hive Minds." "All the answers are hidden in a hive - you know this by now." "It looks like this." "And if the answer to my question was," ""What are the names of this week's teams?", you'd be looking for Mendelians..." "There it is." "And Pascallywags." "And as you can see, answers use adjoining cells." "They can go in any direction, and no cell is used more than once." "In Round One, as you're looking for answers in the hive, after two seconds, letters will start to disappear." "As they do, the points go down, so the faster you answer, the more you will score." "As always, we've set a few traps, we've laid a few false trails just to try and catch you out." "So, Pascallywags, we're going to start with you." "Here's your first question, buzz in when you think you've found the answer." "Reveal the hive." "Trowbridge." "Could be..." "Wiltshire is there!" "Eh, Wiltshire." "Show me your first letter." "Let's see if you're right." "Wiltshire of course, and the county town being Trowbridge." "As soon as I said, "An English county whose county town" ""begins with T," you said Wiltshire, Trowbridge." "Then it was just a question of finding it." "That's absolutely amazing, five points, well done." "OK, Mendelians..." "What a start." "Reveal the hive." "(Is it going to be Vermont?" "(No, Vermont is there." "(Is Wisconsin there?" "Nevada." "No, Wisconsin." "Are you sure?" "(Yeah, yeah, yeah.)" "There was an awful lot of whispering going on," "I have no idea what your answer is." "Wisconsin." "Wisconsin, show me your first letter." "For three points, let's see if you're right." "Wisconsin, yes, of course." "And the capital is?" "Madison." "And a trick question, I suppose, because the biggest city in Wisconsin is Milwaukee." "So people often think it's Milwaukee rather than Madison, but you didn't, three points." "What a great start." "Pascallywags, over to you." "Reveal the hive." "I don't know members of the A-Team." "There was Baracus and Murdock." "Baracus?" "Baracus is there, Baracus is there." "But that's not an artist, is it?" "There's Baracus, so there must be...something related." "BA Baracus is a surname, so..." "Dutch artist..." "Brachts?" "Brachtern..." "Uh, Bosch!" "Bosch." "For two points, your answer's Bosch, show me your first letter." "Let's see if you're right." "Bosch, Hieronymus Bosch." "So who was the character in the A-Team, then?" "No idea!" "You've no idea, so you just made a guess?" "Yeah." "ANDREW:" "It's Bosco." "Bosco, isn't it?" "Bosco Albert Baracus, better known as BA Baracus in the A-Team." "And the artist was Hieronymus Bosch." "You familiar with his works at all?" "Yeah, much more than with BA Baracus." "More than the A-Team." "And the sort of nightmarish detail in them, obviously a mid-15th century artist." "Right." "Mendelians, over to you." "Reveal the hive." "Bussell." "It's not there." "Nijinsky." "Where's that?" "No, it's a red herring." "OK." "Baryshnikov?" "That's going to be too long." "Three points." "I don't know any more ballet dancers." "Nureyev?" "Pavlova." "Think of tennis people." "Is that going to help?" "No." "One point." "OK." "Out of time." "Not big ballet fans?" "Not by the sounds of it." "What about you, Pascallywags?" "For one point." "Costa." "Show me the first letter." "C." "No." "What you were looking for was Acosta." "Oh!" "Oh!" "Carlos Acosta is the ballet dancer," "Albert Costa is the tennis player who won the French Open in 2002." "Anyway, we're halfway through Round One." "Mendelians, you're trailing with three." "Pascallywags, you're in the lead with seven." "Now we're going to make it a little bit harder." "As you know, I'm looking for two answers and you must spot both to score the points." "So, Pascallywags, I'm with you." "Reveal the hive." "Rhino and crash." "We should probably find the animal first." "There's..." "I don't..." "Can you see any animals at all here?" "Look for the animals." "Ferret is there, what is the collective noun for ferrets?" "Two points." "It's a business." "Yeah, that's fine." "Ferret, business." "Ferret, business, show me your first letters." "Let's see if you're right." "Ferret... and business, very well done." "And what else is there a business of?" "Some sort of bird?" "Business of flies." "Oh!" "Yes." "And talking about ferrets, anyone familiar with ferret-legging?" "You keep a ferret down your trousers." "Putting a ferret down your trousers!" "I know, it sounds surreal, but I looked it up last night and I am reliably informed it still goes on as a genuine sport." "Right, Mendelians, over to you." "Reveal the hive." "Ju-li-et, no." "November?" "So it would be November and Mike." "Mike and November." "OK." "Your answers?" "Mike and November." "Show me your first letters." "For four points, let's see if you're right." "Mike and November, very well done." "What are the other boys' names in the NATO phonetic alphabet?" "SHREYA:" "Oscar." "Victor." "Charlie." "Romeo." "Romeo, of course, excellent." "Right, well done." "Pascallywags, over to you." "Reveal the hive." "It could be Thomas Stearns or Clive Staples." "Pelham is there, Pelham and..." "Is Grenville there?" "Grenville's not there." "Erm..." "Three points now." "I don't see anything else." "There's lots of As around, is it something beginning with A?" "Erm, who else is there?" "Is it Archie something?" "No." "Down to one point now." "I don't see anything." "I don't see anything at all." "You're out of time." "Mendelians, I can throw it over to you for a bonus point." "I don't think we know." "OK." "The two words we were looking for are Gilbert and Keith, for..." "GK Chesterton!" "PASCALLYWAGS:" "Ohh..." "And of course, you were thinking of Pelham Grenville" " PG Wodehouse." "Bad luck." "Mendelians..." "Reveal the hive." "Bohr and physics would be one." "Bohr with an H, though." "Yeah, Bohr is not there." "Linnaeus and taxonomy." "Linnaeus is there... and taxonomy is there." "Your answers?" "Linnaeus and taxonomy." "Show me your first letters." "Let's see if you're right." "(Very good.)" "For three points, Linnaeus and taxonomy." "Very well done." "What can you tell me about Carl Linnaeus?" "His name was Carolus von Linne in Swedish." "That's QUITE interesting." "LAUGHTER" "Not really what I was after." "What was he famous for?" "Binomial nomenclature." "Binomial nomenclature, by which we mean giving species two names, two Latin names, and thanks to Carl Linnaeus we have..." "Homo sapiens." "Exactly." "So where are we at the end of Round One?" "Mendelians in the lead with ten," "Pascallywags not too far behind with eight." "In Round Two, you'll each face two hives with three answers relating to a specific topic." "You've 45 seconds to complete each hive and score a maximum five points." "Team Mendelians, you're in the lead, you get to choose first, from..." "THEY SNIGGER" "Choose your topic." "I think we have to..." "It has to be biology, even if we..." "We can get everything wrong so people can laugh at us on Twitter." "Sounds good." "Biology, please." "Biology." "You'll be looking for..." "You've ten seconds to confer." "Aorta, femoral..." "Jugular." "The jugular's a vein." "What's that?" "Vagus." "Yes." "Time's up." "That's a nerve, isn't it?" "So, you all work in the field of science, let's see how you get on." "Shreya, we're going to start with you." "Arteries in the human body, you've 45 seconds, remember those two passes." "Reveal the hive." "Aorta." "Aorta." "Correct." "Cesta." "You can pass." "Pass." "Andrew?" "Carotid." "Carotid." "Correct." "Shreya." "15." "One pass left." "Pass." "Cesta." "Five seconds." "Out of time." "Right, have you spotted...?" "Yes." "Cos I was doing this, but I couldn't remember what the name was." "And it's the radial." "The radial." "Ohh..." "That comes down here, and of course, that's where you feel the pulse, isn't it?" "Bet your pulse is going now, crikey O'Reilly." "OK, so let's see what you've got." "The aorta, from the heart to the abdomen." "And then the carotid, supplies the head and neck with blood." "And then, of course, the one you should have got... was the radial." "So, two points out of a possible five, not half-bad." "Pascallywags, your turn now - which topic would you like?" "We're left with..." "Well..." "Out of those..." "Mathematicians over here..." "Start with maths?" "Yeah, in the ten seconds, if you just shout answers to me." "Good luck with that, Rob." "OK, so you're choosing mathematics, well, certainly two of you are, anyway." "Righty-ho." "You will be looking for types of triangle." "You've ten seconds to confer." "There aren't many - isosceles, scalene, equilateral." "Right-angle." "That's probably not..." "Yeah, that's fine, so right, equilateral, isosceles and scalene." "What else?" "They're the only four common ones." "Right, have you absorbed all those, Rob?" "OK, cos we're starting with you." "You have 45 seconds, two passes, you're looking for types of triangle." "Reveal the hive." "It's scalene." "Correct." "Andy." "Equilateral." "Correct." "Dorian." "Erm..." "You can pass." "15 seconds." "Ah, we've got oblique." "Full house, correct." "I thought, "Well, this will be interesting if you pass to Rob," ""who you've just downloaded all the triangles you know to!"" "If he did, I was just passing straight to Andy and hoping he'd seen it." "Right, let's see what you got, then." "The full five points there, which means you've snuck into the lead, 13 to Mendelians' 12." "Team Mendelians, we're back with you, which topic would you like?" "We are left with..." "OK, I'm not sure any of those are great." "No." "Fashion, again, is a definite no." "Transport, could be Tube stations." "I'm not sure we're good enough on theatres, shall we take transport?" "Transport, please." "Transport, OK." "You are looking for..." "Don't look so disappointed, Andrew." "You've ten seconds to confer." "Temple, Metropolitan..." "Trocadero." "There's loads of gares, but that's not.." "Is Quai one?" "Louvre." "Louvre, yes." "Time's up." "Been to Paris much?" "A little bit." "Enough times." "Right, well, let's see how you get on." "You've 45 seconds, two passes." "Andrew, we're starting with you." "Reveal the hive." "Bastille." "Correct." "Shreya." "You've got two passes." "Pass." "Cesta." "Invalides." "Invalides, or Les Invalides." "Correct." "Andrew." "Trocadero." "Correct, well done!" "So your lack of confidence was entirely misplaced." "Very good indeed." "Right, let's have a look at them." "So first of all you got..." "Of course, Bastille, where the Bastille Fortress is, stormed on the 14th of July in 1789 during the French Revolution." "Invalides, where Napoleon Bonaparte is buried." "And Trocadero." "Have you actually been to any of those?" "Bastille, and I thought of it as soon as you said time was up for conferring!" "Oh, really?" "Oh, no, and then you didn't manage to put it down." "No, and I saw it, but Andrew got it before me." "Andrew got it, very well done." "The full five points - excellent." "Right, Team 'Wags, your turn, two subjects close to your heart, I'm sure - fashion and theatre." "Which will you choose?" "Sophie's Choice." "Well, I'd probably know more about..." "Theatre might be plays by a certain playwright, or it may even be Shakespearean." "It could be theatres in London or anything, it could be horrible." "To be honest, I think we stand a better chance with theatre than fashion." "OK." "Theatre, then." "Theatre it is." "Theatre it is, OK." "You are looking for..." "Ten seconds." "OK, so, who are they?" "There's..." "I actually can't remember any of them." "Earnest, erm..." "Bracknell's one, Lady Bracknell." "Good." "Time's up." "Cecily..." "Oh, what's her name?" "Time's up." "OK, Rob, we're starting with you." "You've 45 seconds to find the surnames of characters from The Importance Of Being Earnest." "Reveal the hive." "Yes." "Prism." "Prism." "Correct." "Andy." "Two passes left." "Pass." "Dorian." "20 seconds to go, one pass left." "Erm, pass." "Rob." "Is Moncrieff there?" "It's not, is it?" "Five seconds." "I will guess..." "I think I've made it up" " Cable." "Too late." "Oh, sorry." "And you have made it up as well." "Yup." "FIONA LAUGHS" "But why not, at that stage of the game, try and have a go?" "That was a tricky one for you, wasn't it?" "Yeah, it really was!" "In the massive reservoir of knowledge you guys have," "Importance Of Being Earnest is obviously..." "Not one of them." "Not one of your best ones." "You got Miss Prism, so very well done, that's one point." "You could also have got..." "Oh, Worthing!" "Jack Worthing." "ROB SIGHS" "And Cardew, Cecily Cardew was the ward of Jack Worthing." "I didn't even remember that was his surname." "Bad luck, one point." "'Wags, you've got a little bit of work to do, on 14." "Mendelians, you're ahead with 17." "OK, Round Three, this is where it really gets interesting, you're faced with a super-hive, you're looking for a number of answers that fit a certain category, but your challenge is to use every letter to find one perfect solution." "Team Mendelians, it's your turn, would you like the A hive or the B hive?" "We'll take the B hive, please." "You are looking for..." "You've two minutes." "Reveal the hive." "..is going to be a red herring probably." "Augustus, is he there?" "Claudius, in the corner." "Antonine." "Where's that?" "Antoninus, actually, was his name, but it's not there." "OK." "What can we do here?" "Is it Laurentia?" "No." "Erm..." "It's there if it exists." "Augustus is here." "So what have we got here?" "Is there..." "No, it isn't, sorry." "Tiberius." "Oh, good." "Ti..." "BOTH: ..ber...ius." "Erm, what was his name?" "Caligula." "Have we got a Caligula?" "He's not there." "What would this give us?" "Have we got a red herring?" "Diocletian." "Oh, yeah." "D-I-O-C-L..." "Yeah." "Dio..." "It's OK, you don't have to do it in order." "We've got over a minute, so..." "This can give us..." "Have we put in a red herring, do you think?" "Erm..." "What have we got down here?" "One minute." "Who do we think...?" "Do we think Tiberius might be a red herring?" "What else have we got here?" "We've got T-I-O in here." "T-I-A-N, rather." "So does Diocletian go another way?" "What do we need to take out?" "Take out Diocletian and Tiberius, then we can put them back." "If we need to." "Reckon Claudius could be there." "I reckon Claudius could be..." "30 seconds." "OK, but what else can we get there?" "We can get Calig..." "No, we can't get Caligula." "Yes, you can, Ca-lig-ula, goes that way." "Yeah, but that gets rid of..." "OK." "We're getting rid of that." "But then..." "I think we need to go back." "Ten seconds." "We're only going to end up with one." "Diocletian." "Diocletian." "Oh, no, we can't." "Claudius." "Ooh!" "So, Mendelians, what happened there?" "We just didn't know..." "Couldn't fit any names that we knew into what we had left." "But the thing is, you were right on it there, because you put in Claudius, then Augustus, then Tiberius, then Diocletian - all of which were correct." "SHREYA SIGHS" "And then you started looking for Caligula." "Which actually was a red herring." "Yeah, I thought it probably was." "You unpicked the whole lot, and..." "We shouldn't have unpicked it." "I thought, "Oh, my God," ""you've got 20 seconds to put all those back in again..."" "Yeah." "And then you've ended up with..." "Nothing." "With nothing." "Oh, my goodness, I am so sorry." "It's so easy when you're sitting watching, but of course when the time's going down and the pulse is racing, it's so difficult." "Let's see what you could have had, to get the perfect solution." "Claudius, which you did have." "Augustus, had that one too." "That's how far you'd got." "Then we were looking for Nerva..." "That's a very, very tricky game, isn't it?" "And the perfect solution is the hardest bit of all." "Yeah." "But listen, valiant play, don't be too downhearted." "Cos you've got to see how 'Wags do here, and then of course we've got the final buzzer round." "'Wags, over to you, you're left with the A hive, and you are looking for..." "Reveal the hive." "Be careful with violin and viola first of all." "Potentially got cello." "I can see bouzouki." "Yes, I've got bouzouki." "There's cello next to it." "But what does this leave down here?" "Cello is next to it, also got lute." "But no, there's..." "Yeah, so that works." "There's violoncello as well." "Yes, be careful." "Enter that for now, but be careful." "Lute down here?" "For now, yes." "What goes down here?" "There's T-T-E-N." "You've got..." "E-R-N we have to use." "Potentially got sitar going across the top left." "They could be..." "Littern?" "Could be a cittern or something like that." "That could easily exist." "Yeah, that's fine, shall we go somewhere else for now?" "There's a K there, does that K fit in with anything?" "I think you might have..." "Look at this bouzouki, then you've got balalaika." "Yes, that's right." "Shall we take bouzouki out?" "Yeah, and go another way, there's another way of doing bouzouki down that way." "OK, so this way here?" "Do the bouzouki this way." "OK, sure." "Carry on." "This way?" "Yep." "And then do balalaika." "OK." "Wait, where's balalaika go?" "Bala..." "Bala..." "Huh?" "Where does balalaika go?" "Maybe it isn't balalaika." "I don't see it." "You have to enter it and cancel it." "We can put sitar across the top." "I've just seen where balalaika is." "Go on." "Sorry, I've just seen it, it's here." "OK, so we've got..." "What's the one at the top?" "Psalter." "Yeah." "Psaltery or psalter?" "Psaltery." "It must be violoncello. 20 seconds." "Take that out quickly." "OK." "And then that has to be the one." "Just do that quickly, it's got to be cittern, hasn't it?" "Yeah, it has to be." "Whatever that is." "The perfect solution." "DORIAN EXHALES" "With a bit of a guess at the end there." "Yes!" "Wow." "OK, let's take these one by one." "So lute, first of all, obviously used predominantly in Elizabethan music." "Bouzouki, used in Greece primarily." "The sitar, made famous by Ravi Shankar." "Also used on Norwegian Wood, the Beatles song." "Balalaika, Russian instrument." "The psaltery, a kind of zither-type instrument, you pluck the strings with a plectrum." "Violoncello, posh way of saying cello." "PASCALLYWAGS LAUGH" "The cittern." "So you'd never heard of a cittern, but you had a guess?" "PASCALLYWAGS:" "No." "Obviously a stringed instrument, it was played from the Middle Ages, very popular in the Renaissance, used by the upper and lower classes alike." "You very nearly went for cello, which was a red herring." "First thing I said was, "Be careful of violin, violoncello..."" "Knew it was a possibility." "I saw violoncello and thought..." "You could have put violin, you could have put viola, you could have put cello, and then you'd have been in real trouble." "Right, so, where are we at the end of that round?" "'Wags, you're in the lead with 24." "Mendelians, you're looking utterly downcast, but I don't think you should be, because there's still all to play for in this final buzzer round." "You're not THAT far behind with 17, you could still make it." "Our final round now, for a place in the final." "This time the hives are filled with answers." "If you pay attention, you might spot an answer to a question you haven't even heard yet." "Are you ready?" "Fingers on buzzers, both teams." "Reveal the hive." "You're looking for..." "'Wags." "Gounod." "Charles Gounod." "One point." "Mendelians." "Canterbury." "Correct, one point." "Mendelians." "Not Ross." "No, you were looking for Gunther." "You lose a point." "Come on." "LAUGHTER" "Oh, macaroon." "Yes." "Macaroon." "'Wags." "Breton." "Andre Breton, one point." "Mendelians." "Caracas." "Caracas, capital of Venezuela." "Well done, one point." "Refresh the hive." "Mendelians." "Shaker." "Correct, one point." "Shatner." "William Shatner, correct, one point." "Come on." "No, Drones, made famous by Bertie Wooster, of course." "Pascallywags." "Shank." "Correct, one point." "'Wags." "Janks." "No, you lose a point, it's jankers." "Oh!" "'Wags." "Yonkers." "Yonkers, that's a bit more like it, one point." "So, where does that leave us?" "'Wags, you are through to the final with 28, very well done." "Mendelians, very valiantly played with 19, bad luck, commiserations, but you have been a fantastic team." "Join us for the final, the grand final, and more brilliance and bewilderment, in Hive Minds next time." "Before we go, here's one for you just at home." "Find a Canadian-born actor who, if you remove one letter, becomes an Archbishop of Canterbury." "Bye-bye."
