University Challenge - I got one right!

[PKM]

‘What mythological creature is featured in the crests of both Carlisle United and Leyton Orient football clubs’

They got it wrong!

[EliotNes]

Who the Beeb or the teams? And what did they say?

[PKM]

The teams got it wrong

[The Mindsweep]

What's the correct answer?

[LaurenceE15]

Wyvern...

[The Mindsweep]

Wyvern...

Thank you

[Berin]

Did you say it out loud? It doesn't count unless you said it out loud.

[PKM]

Certainly did!

[Orient_Man_And_Boy]

Strangely, I got about a dozen right this week. Social humiliation was deflected by the Wyvern question being one of them.

And Sigourney Weaver as Prospero.

It's all very well getting one right on UC. But the real test is getting one right on Only Connect (not including the missing vowels round). And yes, you must say it out loud.

Have you ever got the wall completely right at the end?

What, all four rows and the connections? Nah.

Has anyone on her ever been on University Challenge? If they have, I bet they don't like to mention it.

Do you pause it to give you more time?

[Celtient]

I wouldn't have got that right either. I thought Carlisle had a fox on their club badge. On checking, I see that they ditched that in 1995! Nobody thought to tell me.

[Max B Gold]

I still get annoyed at UC when they ask questions about Greek mythology or Ancient Rome.

I quite often get 2 questions correct but they're usually the popular music ones.

It's known as Quizzy Monday in our house.
Mastermind, Only Connect and UC.
Heaven or hell depending on your point of view.

Nope. We insist on real-time as getting just one line of connections under the time pressure is a ego boost.

It's "Quiz Night Monday" in our house. I'm just glad it's on a Monday as, any later in the week and I'd be too knackered to manage the meagre results I currently muster.

A little aperitif with Richard Osman's House Of Games perhaps? Or am I being absurd.

No, no, nothing absurd about that. House of Games is a nice warm-up. Plus, if you switch over to U&Dave after UC, you can catch repeats of House of Games as a warm-down.

[Give it to Jabo]

Unless one is interested in Lower League football this is a fiendish question: glad that Orient got a mention though. Only right.

Has anyone on her ever been on University Challenge? If they have, I bet they don't like to mention it.

My Dad was on it back in the Bamber days - say 84/85 or so - he captained Imperial College to the Final (they came second). He was a mature student so didn't get much fan mail. He loved it.

Doesn't mention it much - tbh probably doesn't remember it now - but I'm very proud

It would be Pointless.

People get fan mail? Holding on to a faint hope that there's a mail bag kicking around somewhere at the BBC/Granada Studios that they've just forgotten to pass on.
