SINGAPORE: With about six minutes left on the clock, Imperial College London trails the University of Reading 105 to 120 in the nail-biting final of University Challenge aired on the BBC on Monday night in the UK.
Then a contestant on Reading’s team buzzes in before a question is completed and gets the answer wrong. They lose five points for the incorrect interruption, taking their score down to 115. “By the narrowest of margins, Imperial have won and Reading have lost. Bad luck. Many congratulations to you, Imperial. It was a very, very strong performance, I thought,” says Paxman.
The season’s fan favourite Zeng has made viewing more fun with his penchant for effortlessly nailing obscure geography questions, if enthusiastic social media commenters have anything to say.
