Could be the editing, annoying tho.

mind you it is bad with this team in particular

Yeah if they weren't so honest-faced I'd almost suspect them of gamesmanship

Think there was a bug in the last Java question - the |= maybe should've been a != But I'd need another look.

It was a !=

I've just checked and it was. But the font was wack and the background lines and the faint glow of the letters made it difficult to distinguish.

The first 3 were easy enough, didn't get the 4th

Well spotted, Koogs.
I sent a picture of one of those screens to a programmer friend who said the programming was bad and very uneconomical.
I strongly agree with the claim above that the winning team spent too much time chattering about things in a way that amounted to incredibly annoying showing off.

i like seeing their though processs, how they narrow things down.
― koogs, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 10:34 (four years ago) link
narrowing down is fine if it is that
throwing in asides that are clearly not the straightest path to yr answer is a very unwinning habit
― ole uncle tiktok (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 10:36 (four years ago) link
yeah it's some class swot nonsense, also why do some people manage to confer barely audibly and some...not?
― Kier today, Dom tomorrow (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 10:37 (four years ago) link
just find them intrinsically not v likeable, unlike Durham and some of the other teams, so i'm probably overanalysing
― Kier today, Dom tomorrow (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 10:38 (four years ago) link
durham captain is the fella youd save from a frothing covid ward alright
― ole uncle tiktok (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 10:39 (four years ago) link
I strongly agree with both Darraghmac and N. Vague in this instance -- they (especially the really loud one in the middle) come across as obnoxious tossers, and it's hard to understand why they have to confer so loudly.
I don't remember the Durham captain.

hes good bit again a little performative
but seems thats just the trend idk
― ole uncle tiktok (darraghmac), Monday, 13 April 2020 20:24 (four years ago) link
You’re not the fucking captain, Brandon. But damn, you’re good. And I kinda dig the “not here to make friends” badge you always wear.

Not much of a match this week but hopefully the finals will be a good one. Two very good teams.

Wang raging at being beaten to the buzzer by Rich.

Totally deserved. Really resent the three minutes of questions we lose for this shit at the end.

that was a stunning performance and very much a team one
Wang shat it
― Number None, Monday, 20 April 2020 19:59 (four years ago) link
Brandon's OK, he just wants it
Yep, pretty much. Was a brilliant team performance, putting aside all attempts by the media to make it a one v one Brandon v Wang thing in a team competition.
― ailsa, Monday, 20 April 2020 20:34 (four years ago) link
It did help that he wasn't the team captain.
― Mark G, Monday, 20 April 2020 20:45 (four years ago) link
tbh i think rich stepped up in a way i hadnt noticed anyone else in that team doing until now
― steer calmer (darraghmac), Monday, 20 April 2020 20:48 (four years ago) link
He was never going to be the captain. He'd have been terrible at it. I thought Rich was excellent, but no-one will have noticed that because it's all Brandon until next year when they find someone else to fixate on like Monkman, Seagull, Leo (none of whom, incidentally, actually won their series, because it's a team game not a personality cult)

Mr. Blackwell ... trained under “Jeopardy!” all-timer Roger Craig to learn “how to solve game shows and optimize studying.” He even listened to dozens of old episodes of “BBC Newsnight,” formerly hosted by Mr. Paxman, to learn the nuances of the host’s accent.Right before the final aired, the Daily Mail reported that Mr. Blackwell had already won more than $450,000 in prize money from three game shows, including “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” Mr. Blackwell tells me he has appeared on seven programs, including a reality show. He got his start on “Jeopardy! Teen Tournament” 12 years ago, and says he chose a British university for his master’s in computer science because of the country’s superior “quiz infrastructure.” He started studying for “University Challenge” in 2016.

He chose a UK university because of its quiz infrastructure.
Astounding.
We're going to need more applicants like this in the near future.
