I really enjoy Emmanuel. Seagull does a good job - he's got great breadth, and that leads him to sensible guesses when needed. Mostly, he makes sure he and his team are having a good time, and together they have a knowledge spread that's very UC-friendly.
14:22 Mahler is only “Austrian” in a purely technical sense. He was born and raised in Bohemia (modern day Czech Republic), which was then a part of the Austrian Empire, then Austria-Hungary. More accurate to refer to him as Czech rather than Austrian in today’s usage.
You make it seem like such a clear matter, but let me quote Mahler himself on this question: “I am thrice homeless: as a Bohemian in Austria, as an Austrian among the Germans, and as a Jew everywhere.” As you may see, Mahler wasn’t as sure as you are. And Czech, a name and nationality existing at the time, doesn’t appear in Mahler’s self-designation at all.
This was not a good match, Venkatesh not as on the ball as he was on the previous rounds. Although I do think Emma have the most likeable team and I am happy for them.
Well done to Emmanuel, but for a team with 2 maths and 1 physics specialists, they really bombed the fairly easy maths bonus early on. If 12 is abundant, then any multiple of 12 is abundant also (at the very least it could be easily deduced that twice 12 is abundant), so I don't know why they quickly abandoned 24. The history guy was the only one who expressed any hesitation at jumping all the way out to 60. And then on the next part the maths girl so confidently stated that 9 and 10 were coprime with 12.
Stinkers of questions! Still picking Emmanuel for the finals, but I just don't think they can go all the way. Having said that, I stand ready to eat my hat when they win convincingly...
It`s wonderful to be able to keep up with these thousands of miles from home. Thanks for uploading them. The only thing is, it appears to be in some weird format. Opera, at least by default, can`t cope, unlike with the vast majority of You Tube videos and I watch I have to revert to Big Brother Google`s Chrome. What`s going on here (and why not use something more standard)?
Can anyone explain why the answer to the question as 21:18 is not Greenland but Germany instead? Greenland is a country with a land area of more than 2 million km^2 while the answer given is Germany with a land area of only 300K km^2... Am I missing something from the question or is the question wrong?
He often appears like he is guessing. He brainstorms a few possibilities, then gives the most likely answer. I really can't tell how what he really knows.
I was skeptical of his approach at first, but he won me over here. Having one member think through options may be good tactics, provided the others are able to multitask and use his 'monologue' to exclude or confirm options (and of course, provided they're given enough time to respond and he does it only when he thinks he's in a relatively good epistemic position). I'd find it difficult, but like the alertness that comes with it. And hey...statistics are on their side.

I find something extremely unpleasant about Geoffrey Paxman but I cant put my finger on what it is but the man makes my skin creep. Perhaps it his smoldering below-the-surface arrogance
I liked Emma until now but now I just want them to get beaten as quickly as possible. Please, what got over Seagull? I really want Corpus Christi to win the next few rounds (as long as they don't beat Balliol :p) - Venkatesh's awesome.
I also dislike seagull's nasty cockyness and excesively long deliberate time wasting. Although the rest of the team is quite likable and smart, maybe enough to win. I don't have a favorite team but my favorite participants are Barton-singer, Rudd, Venkatesh and Monkman. They would certainly be the dream team.
Felipe Suárez Colmenares Well, the geography questions were such that they easily take a lot of time making sure it's correct even without the time play aspect. Not saying that happened but I'm pretty sure it would've been a bit slower hor any team.
IMHO Seagull is exceptionally bright and he is wearing what appears to be a rugby shirt. Good lad in my book. He is a "What You See Is What You Get" or WYSIWYG type, utterly devoid of bullpoo. Given your first sentence I'm not sure you would qualify.

Barton-Singer is such a cutie
Caroline Langenberg he's my friends brother xD
I was about to comment the same thing :)
Call him Bruno
Not Swedish Lucky you ;)
rikardo 459 the fuck are you talking about? hahaha
I think Seagull's enthusiasm is what the team needs; he would make a great teacher
419 Prince From what other commenters have said, he is a maths teacher.

Pretty pathetic dragging brexit in to this. Is there anything remainers won't drag it in to though, I suppose?
Ah, that Emmanuel Cambridge Captain is the one who keeps shitting on my car
Definitely a hint of nominative determinism with Bobby S, he's quite flighty, isn't he?
can't fuck with bobby seagull
Terrific game! Thanks psi for uploading. Love Barton-Singer..."Um, frogs?"
I love him. If you watch his face before he answers that question he looks so pleased with himself
Um, Adelstrop
These two teams are Bizarro opposites of each other.

Thank you. I was taken aback there!

I like both teams. Hope Corpus Christi can qualify on their next match
The Fall of Venkatesh, besieged by Seagull
Is that a grown up Wednesday Adams on the Cambridge team?
Venkatesh is the cutest participant in UC's history. And this when he was sitting next to Johnson.
Lol
You rock man. Thank you for doing this.

If UC contestants were sponsored, Seagull would undoubtedly be wearing a copper coloured top.
Oh no, we're going to have to see Johnson again! What a shame. ;-)
Stinkers of questions! Still picking Emmanuel for the finals, but I just don't think they can go all the way.
Having said that, I stand ready to eat my hat when they win convincingly...
Maybe they would lose to Balliol, considering their captain was good on art as well...

Oh, well that's interesting - I wonder what the difference is. Perhaps I will take a further look into this.
is that the outfit from blue's clues?
That’s “ WRIGHT” lol
I love Seagull's little salute at the end :)
And Barton-Singer ALMOST forgot to say goodbye :D
Haha yeah :)
Monday 13th February 2017
Johnathan Livingstone Seagull was unavailable at the time of filming.
If his parents had a good sense of humor they would have named him that.
HERE FOR EMMA JOHNSON
Well hosted show🎉🎉
Thanks again!!!!!
Barton-singer reminds me of Charlie Puth?!
Is Seagull the guy off Indian Matchmaking Series 2?!
Something tells me Mr Seagull wasn’t born with that surname
WHERE'S MONKMAN? I WANT MONKMAN.
You just need some exclamation marks. Multiple.
You do have strange preferences.
Ward is life....
Huh, here in Canada they're just called 'reportable diseases', not 'notifiable'. I thought it odd that Paxo would use the answer in the question.
Can anyone explain why the answer to the question as 21:18 is not Greenland but Germany instead? Greenland is a country with a land area of more than 2 million km^2 while the answer given is Germany with a land area of only 300K km^2... Am I missing something from the question or is the question wrong?
Greenland is not an independent country, it's an autonomous overseas territory of Denmark.
And it's not for sale btw.
Venkatesh has terrible posture.
I wish I could have seen Emmanuel and Edinburgh go head to head
What is the song at the start?
"College Boy" by Derek New (d. 1986)
Barton Singer looks like Shia Labeouf.
No
I really like Seagull, but towards the end he got a little cocky :/
He often appears like he is guessing. He brainstorms a few possibilities, then gives the most likely answer. I really can't tell how what he really knows.

all this talk of seagull being cocky... i'm just not seeing it. seems like a great guy
Agreed he seems like such a nice, enthusiastic guy. Too much bitterness!
I like BOBBY!
Studying 📖 useless degrees 🙃 apart from the Seagull and Johnston.
I find something extremely unpleasant about Geoffrey Paxman but I cant put my finger on what it is but the man makes my skin creep. Perhaps it his smoldering below-the-surface arrogance
Sneaky little 'fuck' at 7:20
Haha good spot

27:29 :)
Are Barton Singer and Johnson the only British people here?
They are all British.
I sense you have a problem.
@@SantomPh: Well-said.
dat venk
I really enjoy UC, but Emma Johnson makes it easier to watch. Sorry, just a shallow old guy here. ;-)

I don't have a favorite team but my favorite participants are Barton-singer, Rudd, Venkatesh and Monkman. They would certainly be the dream team.
Aye, you could see them purposely waste time during the geography questions ... Part of the game, but annoying to watch unfortunately
Felipe Suárez Colmenares Well, the geography questions were such that they easily take a lot of time making sure it's correct even without the time play aspect. Not saying that happened but I'm pretty sure it would've been a bit slower hor any team.
He's not being cocky, he's the team captain and his job is to keep up the team's spirits.
Not cocky at all, it's just his vibrant personality.
IMHO Seagull is exceptionally bright and he is wearing what appears to be a rugby shirt. Good lad in my book. He is a "What You See Is What You Get" or WYSIWYG type, utterly devoid of bullpoo. Given your first sentence I'm not sure you would qualify.
Johnson could be a Victoria secrets model.
Do you ever go outside?
Heh heh, nice one JO Do!
Could a human being be any more annoying than Seagull? No.
Seagull has GOT. TO. GO.
