Uni Challenge - Imperial
68 Answers
Anyone else find the Imperial contestant Brandon smug and annoying, brilliant though he is? And why is he allowed to have 'Brandon' written in front of him on the desk when his name is Brandon Blackwell?
I wish the producer would tell all the students to introduce themselves with their full name - 'Hi, I'm John' etc just sounds naff and juvenile.

yah - we concentrated on - full name reading XYZ
because well heeled undergrads at Oxbridge dont study
they read .... ( 1971)
against open uni - the first time and we tied but they made a mistake in scoring so it was an excuse to have the half hour all over again !
close games are more interesting than one where one side sits on the other 300-50
as NIgh will confirm ( the worlds fave Prez cd be the next nobel prize winner in micro - he is so good at it maybe and so on) Americans really dont do humility or moderation

He's called Brandon, rather than Brandon Blackwell, because he was in between surnames at the time of filming. Some family business that is personal to him and no concern of everybody else's.
As to his perceived smugness, at least he backs that up with his performance. One of the best at this format around. And it's a concentration face -- he's not so bad in person.

nescio - // andy hughes,
"plethora of science and maths questions"? There are rarely more than a handful and I would regard the vast majority of them to be at best A level standard, not degree level //
As a regular viewer, it does seem that the number and complexity of science and maths questions has increased over recent series.
Since I don't possess A Levels in maths or science, the questions remain a meaningless distraction to me.

Jim - // Better than the pointlessly tedious literature and arts questions. :P //
I think on average, that viewers are more likely to have read the books or seen the art that features on those questions, than to have an inkling about questions which only a specialist can understand, much less answer.

I agree about the increase in highly-complex maths and science questions, andy. I always listen to what the four contestants are studying and if there are no specialist maths or science students I think "they're stuffed". Teams from the likes of SOAS or the Courtauld are always, therefore, going to be at a disadvantage.
