University Challenge and that plain swotty girl

[Alf W]

Have I missed something here? People seem to be going on a lot about University Challenge like I've missed the television event of the year.

Isn't it just a slightly more grown up Blockbusters for the sort of students who used to wear a shirt and tie to lectures?

Is Universally Challenged broadcast in black and white or have they moved over to colour yet. I must remember to set my Betamax recorder.

Have you noticed that the answers to all the long-winded maths questions are always zero, one, or very exceptionally, minus one?

Indeed. I just shout 'One' or sometimes 'Zero' at the telly after every maths question, and get it right quite often. When it's wrong, I just say something random like 'I thought he meant the inverse ratio'. It impresses the wife no end

using the same logic I managed to impress the wife by answering a very long question regarding tangets, sines etc correctly with "90 degrees". The plain girl didn't get the answer though.
