This is no reflection on the show itself, which you know I love.Londiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-16593592193748757442010-02-10T01:08:22.613-08:002010-02-10T01:08:22.613-08:00Just for history's sake, the third clue in the...Just for history's sake, the third clue in the picture connection was the Lebanese cedar, although the other one you mention was clearly one of our alternative clues!davidbodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06069767281654752637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-3467732617130287302010-02-02T22:56:41.493-08:002010-02-02T22:56:41.493-08:00Hi All

I know so little about Maths and Science that relatively imple things to people who have even a reasonable grounding in such things are fiendish to me. As the saying goes, they are all easy if you know the answer, and difficult if you don't. <br /><br />I am indebted to David and Rach for explaining what a puzzle jug is. I guessed correctly that it belonged to the jugs set, but hadn't heard of it before. <br /><br />Thanks for comments all.Londiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-74287639848663056142010-02-02T18:24:11.308-08:002010-02-02T18:24:11.308-08:00I wouldn't personally call the Platonic questi...I wouldn't personally call the Platonic question easy but I was surprised neither team got it (though the Neuros were very close). I'm glad the range of questions has been noticed - as a maths alumnus myself, I often despair at how poorly anything scientific comes across on quiz shows - especially on UC. So I was determined to ensure the science got its fair share of questions and that they came across as warmly as the subject will allow.<br /><br />I would define a puzzle jug as a jug with various holes and you would have to use your fingers in the right holes to be able to drink from the jug successfully. If you didn't, you'd get covered in wine to much hilarity.davidbodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06069767281654752637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-28095396644320633702010-02-02T18:20:04.258-08:002010-02-02T18:20:04.258-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.davidbodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06069767281654752637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-86082413321265792682010-02-02T18:04:24.118-08:002010-02-02T18:04:24.118-08:00For the second week in a row Adam Cherryade and I ...For the second week in a row Adam Cherryade and I beat both teams on the wall and missing vowels rounds which made us very happy, we're still utterly useless on the first 2 rounds though! LisaH, a puzzle jug is a jug with various openings that seem like you could drink from them but only one is actually genuine, I've watched far too many antiques programmes!Rach Cherryadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885926056816186727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-89405121346877024752010-02-02T16:05:35.993-08:002010-02-02T16:05:35.993-08:00Agree about the geometry:-watching from home, I go...Agree about the geometry:-watching from home, I got my first ever five-pointer on it!<br />I spotted three jugs on the wall - but what's a puzzle jug?LisaHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01470405082290927092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-84739242546799581732010-02-02T15:25:57.563-08:002010-02-02T15:25:57.563-08:00Apparently the Welsh obscenity comment was a joke ...Apparently the Welsh obscenity comment was a joke - being filmed as it is in Cardiff, I think that would have been noticed quickly :-)<br /><br />Can I protest about your calling the geometry question "fiendish"? To a mathematician, it was actually pretty easy (I got it from two clues)... it's a nice feature of OC that it has a broad spectrum of questions.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00512536019012471817noreply@blogger.com
