"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, would you like to introduce yourselves, please?" "Hi, I'm Shreya, I'm from London." "I'm a medical news writer." "I'm Cesta, I'm also from London, and I'm an editor for a scientific journal." "Hi, I'm Andrew, I'm originally from Bath and I work in science publishing." "Welcome back, very nice to see you." "Mavericks, over to you." "Would you introduce yourselves, please?" "Hi, I'm Dee, I'm from Chester and I'm a circle dance teacher." "I'm Michael, I'm a civil servant from Middlesbrough." "And I'm Alan, I'm from St Helens in Lancashire and I work in the field of drug research." "So, we're playing for a place in the semifinal." "This is a very important game." "Any particular strong areas for you?" "I'm guessing with a name like yours, genetics, from Gregor Mendel." "I think most of science we're pretty happy with." "Well, that's a pretty large area." "Alan, for you, horse racing." "I know you're a big horse racing fan." "Yes, I am a big fan, it's taken me all round the country and several places overseas, as well." "I've had a lot of fun out of it along the way." "Got any good tips?" "Any nags we should be looking out for?" "Don't lose too much, that's my only tip." "Right, OK, well, good luck to both of you." "As I say, you're playing for a place in the semifinal." "Let's play Hive Minds." "All the answers are hidden in a hive, which looks like this." "If the answer to my question was" ""What are the names of this week's teams?", you'd be looking for Mendelians and Mavericks." "As you can see, answers use adjoining cells, can go in any direction, and no cell is used more than once." "Now, you know the rules by now." "In round one, you're looking for answers." "After two seconds, the letters start to disappear, and as they do, the points go down, so the faster you answer, the more you score." "Be careful." "We like to do this, set a few traps, lay a few false trails." "So, Mavericks, here's your first question." "Buzz in when you think you've found the answer." "Reveal the hive." "Pink, orange, brown." "Orange is a colour of the rainbow." "Orange is there." "Oh, no, it is!" "What's your answer?" "Pink." "Your answer's pink." "Show me your first letter." "It's not, anyway." "Let's see if you were right." "No, all fumbling desperately for the right colour there." "OK, Mendelians, for a bonus point." "Let's see what you would have been left with." "We think it's blonde." "Blonde." "Show me your first letter." "Let's see if you were right." "Correct." "Blonde." "It was Mr Blonde, who was played by Michael Madsen." "And what did he do in the film?" "Had his ear cut off." "He cut off someone else's ear." "So, Reservoir Dogs by Quentin Tarantino." "Right, Mendelians, we're still with you." "Reveal the hive." "Gazza." "It's Gascoigne." "Gascoigne." "He's there." "Your answer?" "Gascoigne." "Show me your first letter." "For four points, let's see if you're right." "Gascoigne." "Correct." "Do you know the Italian opera title?" "I don't think you do, do you?" "THEY LAUGH" "You just saw Gascoigne." "Well, his nickname is Gazza, and the Italian opera is Rossini's La Gazza Ladra." "OK, very well done." "Four points." "Mavericks, over to you." "Reveal the hive." "So, Sheffield or Birmingham." "Manchester." "Sheffield's there." "Yep." "Yeah." "Your answer?" "Sheffield." "Show me your first letter." "Let's see if you're right." "Sheffield for four points." "Very well done." "Any postcode in Sheffield starts just with S." "Right, Mendelians." "Reveal the hive." "..That Ends Well." "The Shrew?" "No." "Ends in four consecutive consonants..." "For three points now." "Two." "Your answer?" "Twelfth." "Twelfth." "Show me your first letter." "Let's see if you're correct." "Twelfth Night." "Very well done." "Excellent, for two points there." "OK, so, Mendelians, you're in the lead at the moment with 7," "Mavericks not too far behind with 4." "We're going to make things a little more complicated." "I'm looking for two answers, and you must spot both to score the points." "Mavericks..." "Reveal the hive." "Cardiology, heart." "No." "No, it's not." "It's gone." "Herpetology." "That's liver, isn't it?" "Yeah." "Liver's not there, no." "For three points." "Kidney?" "What's that, renology?" "Down to two." "Kidney." "What's the thing called?" "I can't see it." "Quickly." "Anything?" "One point." "OUT-OF-TIME BUZZER Mavericks, out of time." "Mendelians, I can throw it over to you." "We think it might be dermatology and skin." "Show me your first letters." "Let's see if you're right." "Dermatology and skin." "There you are." "Science questions, you said that would be your strong point." "And what's the largest organ in the human body?" "The skin." "The brain." "Oh, the skin!" "Shreya!" "Sorry." "It's the skin!" "Losing my mind!" "OK, very well done for one point." "OK, Mendelians, still with you." "Reveal the hive." "Cobbler and shoe..." "Have we got cooper?" "Cooper and barrels." "We have." "Your answers?" "Cooper and barrel." "Show me your first letters." "Let's see if you're right." "Cooper and barrel for four points." "Very well done." "So a cooper makes barrels." "Do you know where the word "cooper" comes from?" "I'm not sure I do." "It comes from the Dutch, "kuper", meaning "basket" of wood or some such thing." "Very well done." "OK, Mavericks, let's see if you can catch up." "Reveal the hive." "So it's a sea, so Jordan and Dead." "There's Danube." "Where does that go to?" "Oh, no." "Goes to the Mediterranean, doesn't it?" "The Volga does." "Volga's Caspian." "Oh, that's gone as well." "Three points." "Er, is there any British ones in there?" "North Sea, Irish Sea..." "For one point now." "OUT-OF-TIME BUZZER" "Oh, bad luck, Mavericks." "Mendelians?" "Liffey and Irish." "Liffey and Irish." "Show me your first letters." "Let's see if you're right." "Liffey, which flows through Dublin, and Irish." "OK!" "Mendelians..." "Reveal the hive." "OK, 19th." "So it's going to be Austria or the Czech Republic." "There's a Z over here." "For three points." "Poland." "Poland is there." "Think of a Polish composer." "Was Bach Polish?" "No." "One." "Chopin." "Chopin." "And Poland." "Ooh, in the nick of time." "Your answers?" "We think it might be Chopin and Poland." "Show me your first letters." "Let's see if you're right." "Chopin... and Poland." "Chopin was born in the Duchy of Warsaw in 1810, a client state of the French Empire." "At the end of that round, Mendelians, you are in the lead with 14," "Mavericks, you've got a bit of work to do." "You're on 4." "Round two, and you will each face two hives containing three answers relating to a specific topic." "You've 45 seconds to complete each hive and score a maximum of five points." "Team Mendelians, you're in the lead, you get to choose first." "Which topic will you choose?" "Let's have a look." "Which will you go for?" "We said at the top of the show anything to do with science." "Yeah." "You'll have to tell me answers, but that's fine." "OK, we'll take Physics, please." "Physics." "Anything to do with science." "OK, you'll be looking for:" "You've ten seconds to confer." "Kilogram, newton, joule." "Siemens." "Tesla." "Oersted." "Pascal." "Farad." "Oersted, O-E-R-S-T-E-D." "Time's up." "Shreya, we start with you." "You're looking for SI base units." "You've 45 seconds." "Reveal the hive." "You've two passes." "30 seconds." "Pass." "Cesta?" "20 seconds." "One pass left." "Pass." "Andrew?" "Mole." "Mole." "Correct." "Shreya?" "OUT-OF-TIME JINGLE Sorry." "Time's up." "That was a tricky one." "So, you got mole." "Let's see what else you could have got." "Ampere." "And candela." "So you got one point out of a possible five." "Come on, guys, this is much more your thing than mine." "So, the SI system, which is a globally agreed international system of measures." "How many are there in total?" "So, there's seven base units." "Seven base units." "And God knows how many derived units." "So, what does a mole measure?" "Amount of stuff." "Amount of stuff." "Number of atoms, yeah." "Ampere?" "Current." "Current." "Candela?" "Luminosity." "Isn't it?" "Luminosity, yeah." "Luminosity." "Clue's in the name, candela, Latin for "candle"." "Well, that was a tricky one, even though it was in your specialist area, science." "You got one point." "Well done." "Team Mavericks, over to you." "Which topic would you like to choose?" "Not awfully confident on any of them." "No." "I don't fancy fashion." "Any preference?" "Maybe Children's Literature." "Children's Literature, depending what it is." "Shall we go for that?" "That's fine." "So you're choosing...?" "Children's Literature." "Alan, you don't fancy fashion in that lovely yellow shirt?" "It's amazing, isn't it?" "Look!" "Lemon, I call that." "OK, Children's Literature." "You are looking for:" "You've ten seconds to confer." "Peter, Edmund, Lucy, Susan, Aslan, Mr Tumnus..." "Er, Reepicheep." "Other than that, I might be struggling." "Time's up." "Dee, we start with you." "You've got 45 seconds, two passes, remember." "You're looking for characters in CS Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia." "Reveal the hive." "Aslan." "Aslan." "Correct." "Michael?" "30 seconds." "Two passes left." "Pass." "Alan?" "One pass left." "Pass." "Ten seconds." "Dee?" "Edmund." "Edmund." "Correct." "Michael?" "Five seconds." "Lucy." "OUT-OF-TIME JINGLE" "Out of time, I'm afraid." "So, you got two answers there." "You got Aslan, who was of course the lion, and Edmund, who was a bit of a traitor, went to see the White Witch." "And what was the other one you could have got?" "Eustace, Edmund's cousin." "Oh, yeah." "You were a bit too late with Lucy, but you couldn't have got it anyway." "Fans of The Chronicles Of Narnia?" "I've read them all a long time ago." "I read them as a child." "I absolutely loved them." "I have tried to persuade my children to read them." "Have I succeeded?" "No." "They're not interested." "But anyway, at the halfway stage in this round, then, Mavericks, you're on 6, the Mendelians are on 15." "OK, Team Mendelians, your turn." "Which topic would you like of what we've got left?" "I think Fashion is a definite no." "That's what I was going to say." "I think Food And Drink we're reasonable on." "You're choosing Food And Drink." "Why is Fashion a definite no-no?" "Come on, guys, look at you!" "Shreya is rockin' that dress!" "Come on!" "OK, so, Food And Drink." "You will be looking for:" "You've ten seconds to confer." "Shreya, go." "Balti, korma." "Jalfrezi." "I guess you could have vindaloo." "Ceylon." "Any others?" "Madras." "Time's up." "Shreya, just remind us where you're from." "India!" "Excellent." "OK..." "So this is going to be doubly embarrassing." "Cesta, we're starting with you." "You've 45 seconds." "Reveal the hive." "35 seconds." "You've two passes." "30 seconds." "Still two passes." "Pass." "Andrew?" "Jalfrezi." "Jalfrezi." "Correct." "Shreya?" "Pass." "Cesta?" "Madras." "Madras." "Correct." "Andrew?" "OUT-OF-TIME JINGLE Time's up!" "Shreya!" "What happened?" "I couldn't see anything!" "I saw jalfrezi, but Andrew had got it." "All those curries!" "OK, you've got two answers, which is good." "So, let's see what you found." "Jalfrezi." "Madras." "That's a pretty hot one." "You could have pathia." "There we are." "Do you want to know the first curry house in Britain?" "What was it?" "It was in Glasgow, I think." "It was in Portman Square in London, the Hindu Star and Coffee House, opened in 1810." "Gosh." "And what was the curry that was once Britain's favourite dish?" "Chicken tikka masala." "Chicken tikka masala." "There you go." "OK, two points." "Well done." "OK, Mavericks, your turn." "You're trailing a bit." "You could do with the points." "Which topic?" "You're left with Fashion or Language." "Language, definitely." "Neither of them are great." "Language, I suppose." "I'd prefer Language." "I prefer Language." "As long as it's not Fashion!" "Anything but Fashion." "I think by default it's got to be Language." "It's got to be Language." "OK." "You are looking for:" "You've ten seconds to confer." "Simile." "Oxymoron." "Metaphor." "Metaphor's good." "Oh, gosh." "Dear me!" "Oh, my word." "Is litotes a figure of speech?" "Time's up." "Something like that." "Alan, we're starting with you." "You've 45 seconds." "Reveal the hive." "Simile." "Simile." "Correct." "Dee?" "You've two passes." "Hyperbole." "Hyperbole." "Correct." "Michael?" "25 seconds." "Pass." "Pass." "Alan?" "20 seconds." "One pass left." "Ten seconds, one pass left." "Pass." "Dee?" "OUT-OF-TIME JINGLE Time's up." "Time's up." "You were searching desperately for that last one." "Couldn't find it." "Let's see what you did find." "So, your first point was simile, so "as cool as a cucumber"." "Hyperbole." "Exaggeration." "And what you needed was synecdoche." "Are you familiar with synecdoche?" "Yep." "I can't tell you what it is, but I know the word." "Using a part to represent a whole, so "hired hands" meaning workmen in general." "That was for the five points, which you didn't get, I'm afraid." "You got two, which puts you at 8 and the Mendelians at 17." "In round three, you're faced with a superhive." "You're looking for a number of answers that fit a category, but your challenge is to use every letter to find that perfect solution." "Mendelians, it's your turn." "The A hive or the B hive?" "Well, it has to be the B hive." "Has to be the B hive." "You are looking for Roman deities." "You've two minutes." "Reveal the hive." "Jupiter's there, but possibly a red herring?" "I'm going to put him in." "Vulcan." "Vulcan's there." "I don't like this here." "Oh, but Vulcan can go that way, too." "I don't like this up here." "Oh, that's true." "You can make L-E-A-N." "I'm just going to look over here." "Demeter." "I'm just going to say names now." "Minerva's down here." "We've got Uranus." "Ceres is there." "Fortuna, as in O Fortuna." "Fortuna..." "Probably this one?" "It's either going to end in -us or start with Us-." "Aurora." "Ooh, very good." "How are we making Aurora?" "A-U-R..." "Oops." "Sorry." "We don't have to be in order." "A-U-R-O-R-A." "We've got a minute and a bit." "What can we make here?" "Triton?" "Can we do Triton somewhere?" "Ooh, maybe." "Actually, I don't know if Triton is right." "Again, are we ending in -lus?" "We can get Janus here." "That's nice." "Got less than a minute." "OK. 45 seconds." "Proserpina." "Proserpina, yeah." "And then is that Tellus?" "How are we spelling...?" "pina." "R-P-I-N-A." "Sorry, Andrew, do it." "And then is that Tellus?" "And then is that Tellus?" "It seems like a reasonable bet. 30 seconds." "Tellus sounds like a reasonable thing, doesn't it?" "I don't know if it's right." "See if this works..." "No." "You've got it!" "You've got it." "Don't doubt yourselves." "Even if you've no idea who Tellus is!" "I'll tell you in a minute." "But you've got the full ten points." "So you certainly know some Roman deities, if not all of them." "A bit of guesswork involved." "Right, let's see what you put in the order you entered those names." "So, Vulcan, god of fire." "Minerva, goddess of wisdom." "Ceres, goddess of agriculture, amongst other things." "Fortuna, goddess of fortune." "Aurora, goddess of dawn." "Proserpina, who was abducted by the king of the underworld." "Her mother Ceres stalked the earth in such grief that everywhere she planted a foot, she created a desert." "Janus, the god of beginnings and passages, usually depicted as having two faces looking both ways." "And Tellus." "OK, have a guess, then." "What do you think Tellus is the god or goddess of?" "Tellurium, the metal named after him." "So, I don't know, whatever tellurium does." "Strength?" "Earth." "Earth, the goddess of earth." "But what the heck, you guessed it, and you guessed it right, so you get the full ten points." "Very well done, Mendelians." "Mavericks, your turn now." "You're going for the A hive." "I can tell you you will be looking for:" "You've got two minutes." "Reveal the hive." "There's patella there, but it's probably a red herring." "Might be a dodgy one." "We'll try it to start with." "Femur." "Humerus round there." "That looks good, doesn't it?" "Oh, yes." "It can be that way or that way." "Which way does it go from here?" "It could be across, either up or down." "Yes." "It doesn't go that way." "The R's down here." "The" "R-U-S still works." "No, no, that's not how you spell it." "It's" "E-R-U-S." "Oh, right." "So that's definitely wrong." "Clavicle?" "Yeah, go for that." "Oh, yeah, I like that." "So, if you can see anything else up here..." "Yeah, something's wrong there." "You're halfway through now." "Mandible." "Talus is the ankle, isn't it?" "Talus is ankle, yeah." "Incus." "So that'll be wrong." "Get rid of that." "Yeah, that's part of the ear, isn't it?" "I bet that's femur." "That looks good for femur, yeah." "Yeah." "Something's wrong round here." "Patella's going to be wrong." "We've got 31." "30 seconds." "Melech?" "M-E-L-E..." "How do you spell that?" "20 seconds." "The one that's the hammer." "Malleus." "Is that...?" "Malleus." "Try malleus." "Have we got enough time?" "We've got ten." "I don't know." "M-A-L-L-E..." "It's not worth it." "There's only four seconds now." "We've not got enough time." "Stapes, whatever..." "OUT-OF-TIME BUZZER Stapes!" "Out of time." "Right, Mavericks, let's see what answers you put in there in the order you entered them." "So, patella, the kneecap." "Clavicle, or collarbone." "Mandible, forms part of the lower jaw." "The talus, ankle bone." "Incus, in the middle ear." "And femur, the thighbone." "Those are the six that you got." "Now, they are all bones of the human body, that is true, so you've got six points." "But let's see which of those answers were part of the perfect solution." "Just three." "So let's unpick how this went wrong, because patella is what you started with, and once you got patella in - that was a red herring - you were slightly on the road to perdition there." "Once you got patella, everything had to follow from there." "That is what created the problems for you." "So let's see what you should have got to get the whole ten points and the perfect solution." "So, the stapes, in the ear." "Malleus, in the middle ear, hammer-shaped." "I heard you say that, but you couldn't find it." "The clavicle, the collarbone." "You got it in the wrong place." "The fibula, the calf bone." "And humerus to complete your perfect solution." "That's what you needed." "It's tricky." "You can see how once you pick one - patella shouldn't have been there - and then clavicle was in the wrong place, partly because of patella, and then it gets very tricky." "An extra 30 seconds, maybe." "An extra 30 seconds." "Yes." "Sadly, that doesn't come with the game." "So, at the end of that round, where are we?" "Mavericks, you have 14, Mendelians, you're doing very well with 27." "The final buzzer round." "There's a lot at stake, everything to play for." "This time, the hives are filled with answers." "If you pay attention, you might spot an answer to a question you haven't heard yet." "Ready?" "Fingers on buzzers." "Reveal the hive." "Mavericks?" "Listener." "Listener." "Correct." "One point." "Mavericks again." "Creed." "Creed, Martin Creed." "Correct." "One point." "Come on." "OUT-OF-TIME BUZZER" "Too late." "Slovenia." "You were looking for Slovenia." "Mendelians?" "Avocet." "Avocet." "Correct." "One point." "Mavericks?" "Tolstoy." "Tolstoy." "Leo Tolstoy." "Correct." "Come on." "Mendelians?" "Coltrane." "Coltrane, Robbie Coltrane." "Refresh the hive." "Mendelians?" "Fluorine?" "Fluorine." "Correct." "One point." "Mendelians?" "Souffle." "Souffle." "Correct." "One point." "Mavericks?" "Zanzibar." "Zanzibar." "Correct." "One point." "Come on." "Anyone?" "Rabelais!" "You were looking for Rabelais." "Next:" "Come on." "Mavericks?" "Bering?" "Bering." "Correct." "Well done." "One point." "Mavericks." "Marr." "Marr." "Well done, Dee!" "Johnny Marr." "A great guitarist he is, too." "Well, that was fast and furious." "So, at the end of the buzzer round, Mendelians, you have won with 31 points." "Very well played." "Mavericks, a late surge, you're so good at the buzzer round, with 20." "So, I'm afraid that means we say goodbye to you, Mavericks." "And, Mendelians, we will see you in the semifinal." "Very well done." "And join us for more brilliance and bewilderment in Hive Minds next time." "Before we go, here's one for you just at home." "Find a world chess champion who, if you change one letter, becomes a north African city." "Bye-bye."
