SINGAPORE — Mr Maximilian Zeng, the 22-year-old Singaporean student who shot to social media stardom for his prodigious geography knowledge on British television quiz show, the University Challenge, has helped his team emerge victorious after a thrilling final in the competition.

His team from Imperial College London staged a late comeback to defeat the University of Reading by ten points in the final aired by broadcaster BBC on Monday night in Britain.

“I need the name of an early historian here. Quote: ‘You know as well as we do that right is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can…’” began Mr Paxman.The questions then shifted towards poetry and music before a picture round came up with a map showing the location of the source of a major river.

Netizens on social media commented that this proved to be a crucial moment in the contest as Mr Zeng was just a fraction quicker than Mr Hutchinson with his buzzer. To reach this year’s finals, the Imperial College team beat Emmanuel College, Cambridge in the semi-finals and overcame other teams including the University of Exeter and St John's College, Cambridge, according to a press release from Imperial College.
