Hello! I'm Kirsty Line. Welcome to

0:15

the Twenty Twenty Four series of

0:17

the longest running radio quiz anywhere

0:19

in the world. Roman

0:26

Britain queens and with close

0:28

to learn. Hello

0:35

and welcome again to the quiz

0:37

where it's not enough to know

0:39

things, you also have to be

0:41

able to work out what they

0:43

have to do with other things.

0:45

It can be addictive and it

0:47

can be utterly baffling. But either

0:49

way, thanks for listening! In our

0:51

Cotswold retreat today we find Carrier

0:53

Lloyd and Move and We Alexander

0:55

who are the ones team opposite

0:57

Frame A Clements and Patty Duffy

0:59

who are the Northern Ireland team.

1:01

So good luck to everyone before

1:03

we start. And while. We hand

1:05

the question papers to the teams

1:07

which they are now getting to

1:09

see for the first time and

1:11

it really is the first time

1:14

as always that they see them.

1:16

Let me clear up last week's

1:18

teaser puzzle at the end of

1:20

the previous edition. I asked you

1:22

what staple.is common to toothpaste or

1:24

powder, a sweet rooted plant of

1:26

the been family one of the

1:28

seven deadly sins, and a dragon

1:30

with the head of a rooster

1:33

and I hope you will. Saw.

1:35

A connection here in the ends

1:37

of the words. So the clues

1:39

give us. Then. To freeze. Licorice.

1:43

Avarice, And. Cockroaches.

1:45

so rice is the staple

1:47

diet that links them all.

1:49

Now you can probably hear

1:51

some frantic whispering in the

1:54

background because our teams are

1:56

trying to unpick the first

1:58

of their questions like. Get

2:00

started before they have too much

2:02

time to think. Remember they are

2:04

going for a possible perfect school

2:06

of twenty four Korea M of

2:08

and we start us off these

2:10

with your opener which is one.

2:13

Of several very nice ideas

2:15

we receive this year from

2:17

Daniel. Quito in Norwich. Think

2:19

you Daniel were in the

2:22

world's do the day's end.

2:24

Augustine. Mother. An

2:27

ace detective and not said

2:29

a nice Sigma all share

2:31

a common route. so where

2:33

in the world to do

2:35

the day's end. Or. Gustin,

2:37

mother and ace detective and

2:40

lots that a nice Sigma

2:42

all share a common route.

2:45

Wales. Well, a common route made

2:47

us think about highways. Or

2:49

even potentially boulevard. And.

2:52

You traveling in the right direction

2:55

states same to questions mother at

2:57

is a long suffering sent Monica.

3:00

And who didn't give up and

3:03

therefore is I think a great

3:05

inspiration to mother's every sense of

3:07

so we wondered. He sees are

3:10

actually Californian roads say Santa Monica

3:12

Boulevard. It's. Absolutely right. And

3:14

then the days and would be Sunset

3:16

Boulevard. Yeah, and

3:18

that's Ace Ventura. Pet

3:21

suggests that Ventura Boulevard.

3:24

And correct sentences dollar. Seventy.

3:27

Summer would be Venice. Absolutely. So I'm

3:29

weirdly talking about about the of us

3:31

really clean Los Angeles' yeah L A

3:33

L A Famous L A Boulevards That's

3:36

what the of these a little bit

3:38

about in Los Angeles the days and

3:40

is sunset. The mother of a saint

3:42

Augustine of Hippo was as a Monica

3:44

As a new that to get that

3:46

has his assets and a detective is

3:49

the case of Ace Ventura Thursday by

3:51

Jim Carrey in the two films and

3:53

last that any summers along. the service

3:55

nickname for the city. Of Venice

3:58

and fantastic. They're from

4:00

Wales. That is a six out

4:02

of six. Here.

4:04

Is question to so petty

4:07

and Freya? Why might bringing

4:09

together a politician who gets

4:12

lots of letters and overseer

4:14

of apprentices. And an Irish

4:16

footballer and pundits now retired. Create a

4:18

happy family and of just repeat that

4:20

again. Why might bringing together a politician?

4:22

He gets lots of lettuce. An.

4:25

Overseer of apprentices and

4:27

an Irish footballer and

4:29

pundits now retired create

4:31

a happy family. Well.

4:33

We're gonna start with the Apprentices and I

4:36

really have to go for this one because

4:38

am well it's it's got a capital A

4:40

Am which makes me think it must be

4:42

the series The Apprentice and that this is.

4:45

Something that I absolutely loved many years ago

4:47

Wouldn't have missed amps at we're assuming that

4:49

if we're talking about the Overseer of apprentices

4:51

and that has to be Alan Sugar. Or.

4:54

Possibly not. Is it is it

4:56

the assistance. Or with a minute this

4:59

is oh yeah oh boy what a bonuses

5:01

but I've got this is Karen Brady isn't

5:03

as you will receive a apprentices on the

5:05

tasks and therefore know we were struggling a

5:07

bit from a little bit too much knowledge

5:09

with a popular ponders were going through all

5:11

of them but it ends have been at

5:13

Liam Chubby Brady who is a fantastic Irish

5:15

international and also plains area for one of

5:17

the pioneers of of British and Irish players

5:19

gone over to play and athletes am so

5:22

that Liam Brady and then of course the

5:24

happy family would be the Brady Bunch of

5:26

sorts and the politicians. Who gets the letters

5:28

will be Sir Graham Brady of the Nineteen

5:30

Twenty Two committee and and way the to

5:32

activate a leadership succession of the spell as

5:35

they call it. A think in Australia is

5:37

that you have to send and a bunch

5:39

of letters to Sir Graeme British. absolutely

5:42

correct a all these clues leads

5:44

you to brady and as such

5:46

they might bring to mind the

5:49

nineteen seventies happy family us sit

5:51

com the brady bunch so well

5:53

done that is another six out

5:55

of six so both teams have

5:58

to act in stars beavan we

6:00

and carrier this is time for

6:02

your music question. Have a listen

6:04

to these pieces and then tell

6:07

me where are we? So

6:30

you heard three

6:34

pieces of music

6:36

there and

6:38

the question is where

6:40

are we? You

6:51

may have guessed in the previous round that we're trying to

6:53

test your knowledge of geography. So

6:56

the last one is Birmingham, Alabama, the

6:59

place that was mentioned. Yes

7:01

but you're actually looking more for the

7:03

name of the band. Oh Lord. Are

7:12

they all-time great vocal harmony groups? Not

7:16

the Andrews Sisters but something sort of a fact,

7:18

it's not that kind of vintage though is it?

7:20

No. Let me

7:22

go in another direction. Instead of the

7:24

middle song we might have played you

7:27

the voice of one of David and

7:29

Victoria Beckham's children. Oh

7:31

Brooklyn, Beckham? Okay.

7:34

So are we looking

7:36

at places in New York? Yes

7:38

I'm taking you to the other coast.

7:40

So there's areas of Manhattan, are we

7:44

looking at Manhattan for number

7:46

three? Oh is it Manhattan

7:48

transfer? It is. Man Tran.

7:50

Manhattan, Manhattan, Brooklyn. And

7:53

then an area in

7:55

New York, Midtown? Queens

8:01

comes to mind. Yes. But

8:04

you need to identify which clip that refers

8:06

to. Number one. Number one.

8:08

Is it not the Queens of the Stone Age, is it? No,

8:10

that wasn't the Queens of the Stone Age. Queen

8:14

Le- Le- Le- No, not Queen of the Sea. She definitely wants a

8:16

Queen of the Sea. No, no. Queen. Oh,

8:19

man. Doesn't have to

8:21

be singular. Queens.

8:25

Queens is the name of the borough, so. What

8:28

else is there with Queens in it? Yeah.

8:31

It's in the Queens. It's really modern. It's a really recent

8:33

track that I'm gonna- A French

8:36

performing artist? Oh, Christine

8:38

in the Queens. Of course. Christine in the Queens.

8:40

You name the track? A girlfriend.

8:42

Absolutely. Yes. And

8:44

then I've got to pin you down on number two again. Yeah. So

8:48

who do you think the performers are? And

8:50

that deliberately being plural there. Oh, the

8:53

Brooklyn. Brooklyn's.

8:56

The Brooklyn's. The Brooklyn. The

8:58

Brooklyn. The Brooklyn. It

9:00

was a collaboration. Who was it? Can you

9:02

name the singer? No. No.

9:06

No. No answer. Yeah.

9:08

I think I might have to give it to

9:10

you actually. Yeah. It was Donna

9:12

Summer and Brooklyn Dreams and

9:14

there's a track called Heaven Knows and

9:17

Brooklyn Dreams is a New York Soul Band who's best

9:19

known recording at least in the UK, was in

9:21

collaboration with Donna Summer on this 1979 hit. I

9:24

thought I'd go again and again. So the first one Christine

9:26

in the Queens, pseudonym for the

9:29

French performing artist Eloise Leticia

9:32

and then you had Brooklyn Dreams and then

9:34

the final one. Can you tell us

9:36

anything else about the Manhattan Transfer? Just

9:39

that they were around in the 70s. They

9:41

did a lot of revival stuff in

9:43

a very slick and rather

9:46

unexpected way that despite it

9:48

being the age of punk, people still turned

9:50

out for Manhattan Transfer. And

9:52

this is a version of the Glenn Miller standard.

9:54

Tuxedo Junction. It was their first UK hit. So

9:59

I think probably. three out of six because I

10:01

did have to give you quite a lot

10:03

of help on that one. Oh

10:06

the music questions are really stomping

10:08

people. Well, Patty and Francis,

10:13

your term now. Question four, Northern Ireland

10:15

and here we go. Why could a

10:18

wicked composer, a unit

10:20

of frequency and the

10:23

main constituent of granite,

10:25

find their end with a mining

10:28

company founded on a Spanish river?

10:30

So why would

10:32

a wicked composer, a unit

10:35

of frequency and the main constituents

10:37

of granite find their

10:39

end with a mining company

10:41

founded on a Spanish river? Right,

10:45

so we've been talking

10:47

a lot about how, you know, we say Patty's

10:49

the music expert and then that means we

10:51

bomb it on a particular question. I'm feeling

10:54

sort of similarly worried on this because my

10:56

mother's a Spanish teacher and I'm looking

10:59

at this mining company founded on a

11:01

Spanish river. Spanish

11:03

for river obviously is Rio and my mother is going

11:05

to be screaming at the radio but I have

11:08

a feeling that there is a mining company

11:10

called Rio Tinto. Is this

11:12

the mining company? You are right. Well thank

11:14

goodness, I can actually go home after this.

11:17

So now we're looking and in the

11:19

RBQ manner we're looking for clues in

11:21

the phrasing and find their end seems

11:24

to be an interesting line of inquiry. So

11:26

are we looking for other words that

11:29

end in what we see in the

11:31

round of Rio Tinto? Yes,

11:33

I mean Rio Tinto, that's

11:35

the name of the original company, has been

11:38

sort of rebranded many times since and it

11:40

would help if you knew some of the

11:42

rebranding. I thought there was a

11:44

third word so it was Rio Tinto something and

11:46

I can't remember now

11:49

for the life of me what that word

11:51

is. Yeah. Does it ring with hurts

11:53

by any chance? It does. Because we were

11:56

thinking the unit of frequency could be

11:58

hurts. Okay, it is. Correct.

12:01

Oh, and then the main constituent of Granite is the course?

12:04

Yes. And... Wicked

12:07

Composer, somebody he ended up with. Wicked Composer, yeah. So

12:09

this is one of those sort of odd ones where

12:11

we're thinking of, well of course, Frank L. Baum wrote

12:13

the original and Christian Schena was in it. And so

12:15

who wrote it? So somebody called

12:17

Kurtz. France. Go

12:22

back to the question,

12:25

why would a Wicked Composer, a unit of

12:27

frequency in the main constituent of Granite find

12:29

their end? So it's

12:31

just that it's TZ? So it's TZ? Just TZ? Well,

12:34

Riotinto Zinc, so

12:37

that's three words. R TZ, so

12:39

it's just the end. Which

12:42

is that, the key thing

12:44

is R TZ. Yeah. Is

12:47

the Wicked Composer called Schwartz by any chance? Yes. I'm

12:50

just trying to think of R TZ, names there. Well

12:52

done. So even Schwartz created

12:57

Wicked, which tells the backstory of the witches in

12:59

The Wizard of Oz. That's

13:01

exactly right. So you quickly

13:03

got Riotinto, thanks

13:06

to Freya's mum. You correctly

13:08

identified the unit of frequency

13:10

as Hertz, the

13:12

main constituent of Granite, which is Quartz.

13:15

I think I'm going to be generous.

13:18

You're hovering somewhere between a three and a

13:20

four, but I'm feeling generous if I'm going

13:23

to give you four. Okay.

13:28

So this next question has come

13:30

to us from Adrian Perry in

13:32

Sheffield. What's the

13:35

masterful connection between a fictional

13:37

Los Angeles detective, the first

13:40

racing driver to compete in

13:42

300 Grand Prix races, and

13:45

the pop group best known

13:47

for introducing friends? And

13:50

what kind of a beard might

13:52

suit them best? So what

13:55

is the masterful connection between

13:57

a fictional Los Angeles detective,

13:59

the first first racing driver to

14:01

compete in 300 Grand Prix races

14:04

and the pop group best

14:06

known for introducing friends and

14:08

what kind of beard might suit them best?

14:12

Well Carrie had immediately got that.

14:14

I think maybe there should be a capital F for

14:16

friends potentially. Yes, so it's a TV

14:18

show friends. I believe the band may have had

14:20

other hits but they're best known for I'll Be

14:23

There For You and the band is The Rembrandt.

14:25

Spot on. Which led us to the

14:28

masterful connection. So old masters

14:30

we're looking for maybe. And

14:32

van Dyck would be the beard potentially.

14:35

Yes, absolutely. And

14:39

that's far thus certain. I

14:41

wondered, I've made up a

14:43

Belgian racing driver called van Dyck, haven't

14:46

I? I've completely made him up. And

14:49

maybe you're definitely in the right

14:51

direction with some other sort of

14:53

great masters. Yeah. Raphael.

14:57

We're going to the Ninja Turtles here.

14:59

Yes, we are. Donatello. Caravaggio.

15:01

OK, the fictional

15:04

Los Angeles detective, is

15:06

this in a novel or TV? And it's

15:08

not The Big Sleep which is the obvious

15:11

LA detective. He was

15:13

known as Harry but I'm looking

15:15

for his proper name. He's

15:19

written about 25 novels by

15:22

an American crime writer based

15:25

in LA. And

15:28

the painter that you're looking for, the

15:30

old master, invokes a very strange

15:33

world. Oh,

15:37

bodies all over the place and people coming

15:39

out of people's heads. Oh, hang on. Bob,

15:42

Bob. You describe it

15:44

as very... Bosch. Yes.

15:47

Yep. Oh, Hieronymus.

15:49

Hieronymus Bosch. Hieronymus Bosch. Hieronymus

15:51

Bosch. Absolutely. OK, so

15:54

we've got van Dyck,

15:56

we've got Rembrandt, we've got Hieronymus

15:58

Bosch and we've got We just need the

16:00

first racing driver to compete in

16:02

300 Grand Prix races. Was

16:04

he a Brazilian? Yes. He's

16:08

not a Rubens.

16:17

Rubens, can you remember

16:19

his last name? It

16:23

was Rubens Barrichello. Rubens Barrichello, 11

16:25

time Grand Prix winner, passed

16:27

the 300 race mark in 2010 and in the same

16:30

season he overtook Ettenssono as the

16:32

highest scoring Brazilian driver of all

16:34

time. So you correctly

16:36

identified quite early on that

16:39

we were looking for Dutch old

16:42

master painters. So

16:44

we had Hieronymus Bosch who is

16:46

the hero of the American crime

16:49

writer Michael Connolly. Then we've

16:51

got Rubens Barrichello, the Grand Prix winner. The pop

16:53

group was indeed the red brat who introduced

16:55

every episode of Friends and if they grew

16:57

beards, the style that might suit them is

17:00

Van Dyke. That's the name

17:02

of a beard named after the painter Anthony Van

17:04

Dyke, little pointy chin

17:06

beard. So I think, again,

17:08

I'm rather like Northern Ireland. I think

17:11

you were sort of hovering between 3

17:13

and 4 but since I gave Northern

17:15

Ireland a generous 4, I think I

17:17

will reciprocate and give you 4 out

17:20

of 6 as well. Okay, Northern

17:22

Ireland. Now, Paddy's heart rate will go up

17:24

now because this is a

17:26

music question. And

17:28

the idea for your music question today has

17:30

come from another of our regular

17:33

correspondents and it's Simon Mira in

17:35

Cheshire. Thank you Simon. I

17:37

am going to play you 4 pieces of music. I

17:40

want you to listen to them and

17:42

explain why none of them is the

17:44

cause. Please,

17:53

please, Simon. Please, please,

17:55

Simon. Okay,

18:31

so you had four bits of music

18:33

and you have to explain why

18:36

none of them is the cause.

18:38

Well, let's go through

18:40

what we know. The first one was

18:43

Domino by noted Katy Perry

18:45

impersonator Jesse J. Correct.

18:48

The next one was rather amused to hear this on

18:51

Radio 4, it's Nancy Boy by Placebo.

18:53

I know Placebo

18:55

made me think about cause and

18:57

maybe some sort of symptomatic sort

18:59

of thing. The final one was

19:02

the special AKA and Free Nelson

19:04

Mandela. And that third one, well,

19:06

initially I started it sounded like

19:08

it was kind of classical French kind of

19:11

Debussy, but it sounded almost filmic towards the end,

19:13

like kind of John Barry. It's

19:15

not John Barry, no. It's not John

19:17

Barry, but it's sort of somebody in that kind

19:19

of milieu. Not really. Like

19:22

a film composer, like a hard shore or

19:24

Patrick Doyle or something like that. It's

19:27

not that. Well, so let's see what we

19:29

can answer. I think, so let

19:32

me help you with this. In the

19:34

case of the third piece of music,

19:36

you are looking for the title. And

19:40

I think you might get

19:42

there if you go back

19:44

to the original question because

19:46

you're nearly there when you

19:48

talked about the second piece

19:50

of music. You're nearly there with answering the question.

19:52

So Placebo being the cause, so it's

19:55

something to the health way. It's a

19:57

Placebo effect. Correct. So it's a effect rather

19:59

than cause. Yeah, oh so

20:01

the domino effect always something to do a butterfly

20:03

domino effect placebo effect But so then

20:05

where would that take you or the

20:08

Nelson Mandela effect is where people remember

20:10

something? Incredibly clearly, but it didn't actually

20:12

happen. That's right It refers to false memories

20:14

that shared by a large group of people and

20:16

it's named apparently because millions of people thought they

20:18

remembered Reports that Nelson Mandela had died in prison

20:20

in the 80s. Yeah, and so

20:22

the final one then is it

20:25

butterfly butterfly effect It's

20:27

not this is it's quite a tricky one helps

20:29

if you know your Bible stories a bit To

20:36

do with coming back to life Lazarus effect.

20:38

Oh, yeah It is

20:40

the Lazarus effect and first to a

20:42

phenomenon where whereby a dead semiconductor The

20:44

detector apparently comes back to life at

20:46

low temperatures Or or indeed when

20:49

somebody's declared dead from a cardiac arrest and

20:51

then appeared to come back to life So

20:54

you've identified three bits

20:56

of the music but it's that third

20:58

bit That Lazarus is in

21:00

the title. It is an English

21:02

composer if that helps Britain or

21:04

Vaughan Williams. It is Vaughan Williams five

21:07

variants of divas and Lazarus

21:09

by Ralph Vaughan Williams and

21:12

deeper dve for us. I think yes,

21:14

that was that was a tricky one I thought

21:16

that you might struggle on that third piece of

21:18

music But he got all

21:20

the Others pretty quickly

21:22

and you came to the right answer

21:25

that they are, you know, not the

21:27

cause They are all effects domino effect

21:29

placebo effect Lazarus effect and the Mandela

21:31

effect So I'm

21:33

thinking four out of six for

21:36

that one question

21:39

seven for Wales and

21:42

This is from a listener and

21:44

Mitchell from Winchester Explain

21:46

how from a bad

21:48

beginning you might keep

21:51

the doctor away Cause fever

21:53

nor sure vomiting and death Use

21:56

an incorrect word to humorous effect

21:59

succeed a dead butcher and

22:02

be awarded the George Cross. So

22:04

explain how from a bad beginning

22:06

you might keep the doctor away,

22:08

cause fever, nausea, vomiting and death,

22:11

use an incorrect word to humorous effect,

22:13

succeed a dead butcher, be awarded the

22:15

George Cross. Well

22:18

are we correct to translate the

22:20

word bad to a Latin-ate

22:23

form which would give us mal?

22:26

Absolutely right. And with the doctor

22:28

away that immediately makes one

22:30

think of an apple and for a long time

22:33

I couldn't get further than a Shakira album cover

22:36

but that won't help. But

22:39

I think the Latin for a common

22:41

apple is malus malus. Absolutely right. So an

22:50

illness that caused fever, nausea,

22:52

could be malaria? Yes.

22:54

And then use an incorrect word

22:57

to humorous effect, famously malapropism,

23:00

Mrs Malaprop. From

23:03

Sheridan's Arrivals was it? Yeah

23:05

from Sheridan's 1775 comedy of

23:07

Malus the Rivals. Succeed

23:09

a dead butcher, got us

23:11

for a while although we were sure dead

23:13

butcher must be Shakespeare and we headed off

23:15

to Malvolio but we suddenly remembered another character

23:17

beginning with Mal which is Malcolm from the

23:19

Scottish play who would be succeeding at the

23:21

end of Macbeth because he would succeed. We

23:24

couldn't think how Malvolio would have anything to

23:26

do with a dead butcher. I think this

23:28

is the second time we've tried to get

23:30

you to say the name of the Scottish

23:32

play. No as an actor, we're not doing

23:34

it. Two superstitious. And my

23:37

father having spent some time in

23:39

this place during the war was referred to this

23:42

place as bells and smells. I

23:44

think it could be the island of Malta,

23:46

the beautiful island of Malta which was awarded

23:48

to George Cross in the war for its

23:50

gallantry. That is absolutely spot on.

23:53

They all begin with Mal. Malus

23:55

as the journalist Apple, malaria causes

23:57

fever, nausea, vomiting and death and

23:59

malapropism is from Mrs. Malaprop

24:01

in Sheridan's The Rivals and Malcolm

24:03

III succeeded Macbeth as King, both

24:06

in Shakespeare's play and in real life

24:08

actually. And Malta was awarded the George

24:10

Cross in 1942 and that is a

24:12

6 out of 6 of Wales. Congratulations.

24:17

Okay, Northern Ireland. We are

24:19

ending with a question idea

24:21

from another regular listener, Carl

24:24

Faber. See how you get on with

24:26

this. What might

24:28

hold together charged

24:30

particles in a magnetosphere, a

24:34

group of iron oxides and

24:37

a huntsman of legend? What

24:39

might hold together charged

24:41

particles in a magnetosphere, a

24:43

group of iron oxides and

24:46

a huntsman of legend? Well,

24:48

I think it's fair to say that neither

24:51

friend or I are scientists. In fact, we didn't

24:53

even have Bunsen burners in my school. But

24:56

when I think of a magnetosphere, it sort

24:58

of evokes Joan Ainte more to me than

25:00

to anything else. But actually there may be

25:02

a secret agent way into this because we

25:04

think the name is Bond, ionic bond in

25:06

this instance. No, I mean,

25:08

you're right to say that the question

25:11

sounds very sciencey, but it's easier than

25:13

it looks. It's not so much Bond.

25:15

It's something else that holds together,

25:17

holds things together. We'll

25:19

try and come at this from another way,

25:21

but we may have worked on the wrong principle. But

25:24

the huntsman of legend, now my first thought when

25:26

I saw that is there's an awful lot of

25:28

huntsmans of legends, but the one we

25:30

had gone for was Orion. Yes. Okay.

25:34

Which was partly what took us towards ions

25:37

because there is ions

25:39

in Orion. Orion

25:42

famously lent his

25:44

name to Orion

25:46

belt. Correct. And then the

25:48

group of iron oxides, that would be

25:50

the Rost belt, sort of referring to

25:52

the area of the United States. Iron

25:54

oxide, obviously, Rost. Yeah. And the charged

25:56

particles in a magnet. Is that a Van Allen belt

25:59

then? It is. That's absolutely

26:01

right. So they are all

26:03

belts, hence they'll be held together. So

26:05

you have the Van Allen belt, which

26:07

is the region of the Earth's magnetosphere

26:09

where charged particles are trapped by the

26:11

planet's magnetic field and discovered in

26:13

the 1950s named after James Van Allen, who

26:15

was a space scientist at the University of

26:17

Iowa. And then just, yes,

26:19

you've got the right rust belt. Just tell us a little

26:22

bit more about what the rust belt means in the US.

26:24

Yeah, so the rust belt refers to those areas

26:26

set up around Pennsylvania, Ohio, instead of those blue

26:29

collar places where they used to, sort of all

26:31

sorts of manufacturing used to take place. And

26:33

all that sort of work has kind of

26:36

gone down. And it's basically the focus of

26:38

an awful lot of economic anxiety, but they

26:40

also have a lot of sway in terms

26:43

of US politics, because Pennsylvania and Michigan and

26:45

Ohio are invariably swing states. And

26:47

then you have the legendary Huntsman, Treya

26:49

identified Orion. Orion's belt is a famous

26:52

group of three stars in the constellation

26:54

of Orion, which is very easy to pick

26:56

out in the night sky. So

26:58

I think I had to give you a little

27:00

bit of help, but you pretty much got there

27:02

very quickly. So I would say five out of

27:05

six to Northern Ireland for that.

27:07

Well, that means that it's a

27:10

draw, 19 points each.

27:12

It also means that both of these teams

27:15

have completed all their matches for the series,

27:17

Wales have won two, and Northern Ireland two.

27:20

We don't know where that puts them in

27:22

the final rankings until we've played all the

27:24

remaining matches, but well done. And

27:26

thank you for your good natured and

27:29

likely worn air edition as always. The

27:32

Midlands and South of England are back for

27:34

their final match next week. Join us for

27:36

that if you can. And think about this

27:38

cliffhanger question too, if you've got some spare

27:40

moments before the next contest. And

27:43

it is what connects Edward the first, an

27:45

actor who played twins, a treatise

27:49

against witchcraft, and

27:51

a song by Pete Seeger. Don't

27:54

write in, I'll tell you the answer next time, and

27:56

you can find out if you've got it right. Until

27:59

then, please. Thanks for listening to RBQ. Goodbye.
