You need to understand that these guys are much smarter than even the ordinary Oxford/Cambridge student, I study at Cambridge and I would have lost so bad on this one
@@ll-vj2uu I am doing my undergraduate, currently year 2 in the Engineering course and will be choosing my specialization in year 3. I am mostly likely going to choose electrical and information sciences.
I would love to see Oxford and Cambridge team interviews on where these students learnt all these facts which regular human beings struggle to even understand what the question being asked is in order to provide any sort of fact in the first place. Across such a wide variety of topics and question types it's almost unbelievable how they know so much STUFF!
My favorite aspect of this competition was how well the teams were rounded out... each person complimented the other with his knowledge. You could tell when someone was in their field of expertise..
The comeback from cambridge at the middle was really entertaining haha, they were down 85 points, and they managed to overtake oxford by 5. Simply genius, especially from Krol!
@@u.v.s.5583A lot of it absolutely is taught in university. Some of the literature might not be in most classes but the science absolutely is. The current events you can get by following world news
Amazing that they are well versed in General Knowledge that fluctuate randomly in time. To very specific geographical region- to specific books- concepts in specialized fields so on!
I'm not native speaker of English. Even subtitles couldn't help to undrestand this speaker's perfect accent. Sometimes I'm scared of smart people like these guys
Well done guys. You are real hard-fought. It's easy to go around social media from morning to night and rant as if you know something. you chose the hard way and it's not for everyone.

Wow! These guys' memory is on a whole another level (seeing a thing, name once and can remember it forever) OR they are given a book or something to read from it before this competition!! How the hell I am supposed to remember Robert Kirkman was the director of walking dead?
I've watched very many episodes of University Challenge with Jeremy Paxman reading the questions. And I've never had any difficulty understanding the questions. But here, they're difficult to understand because of less than clear diction. It is a bother to listen to.
“Thank you ladies and gentlemen, the quiz is now over, with our two contestants leading with equal score. Well done to both. Our third contestant seems to have an answer to his first question. Is that correct Ken?” “Yes, Andy, that is correct. I believe I have the answer to your question: my username is Ken.” “And a well done to you for that answer. As they say, better late than never. That’s it for now, we’ll see you next time.”
When they asked the question about Mississippi I was thinking finally a question I know but no. Although for the question after it would’ve helped to know geography and geopolitical context, Tennessee borders Mississippi so when they said “well not Mississippi, Utah?” I knew it wasn’t going to be right.
I got Wales for the poets RS and Dylan, I thought of 'The Fly' but couldn't remember 'The Lord of the Flies', I got John von Neumann, I was thinking of Judy Dench but didn't come out with her name, and I got Hegel. I feel humbled by these student's knowledge though! There is nothing better in life than to know things and be enthusiastic about such knowledge.
How do they get ready for the subjetc the judge ask? do they have a list of subjetcs that are going to be taken? or they only read a lot about the differents aspects of the world xd?
It's quizbowl so the distribution of questions is the same for each match - e.g. 4 history questions, 4 literature questions, 1 each on biology, chemistry and physics

Just the fact that these gentleman understand every word of the speaker is already impressive. Not even the cc could keep up with the accent.
it's neutral english
@@JP-mu5er accent
Also the fact they are in a big chamber with an echo does not help
I don't understand too well either but I don't think they have an accent. It's just normal British English.
Of all the English accents, how on earth is this one hard to understand? "Keep up" with the accent? I must be hearing something else 😂😂
the audacity that i have to pretend thinking of the answers while i was struggling to understand the questions
😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA LMAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAO OMG IM LAUGHING
This is so underrated comment I have ever seen...

😂😂😂 wisdom they your head
They’re answering quicker than I can process the question
They all have such a typical look, it's really quite unique how looks can in fact tell you a lot about a person.

Yup. Couldn’t agree more.

Oxford made a great comeback
Guys it’s not always about the university it’s also about the personal effort
I don't think this sort of facts is even taught at a university. This is stuff you either know or do not know long before finishing grammar school.
Some is taught, I knew a lot of the STEM questions from uni. The history/art/architecture/literature/political deep cuts are self taught
@@u.v.s.5583A lot of it absolutely is taught in university. Some of the literature might not be in most classes but the science absolutely is. The current events you can get by following world news

😂
Lmao
Being able to answer a science question then a random knowledge one back to back is the best feeling
Amazing that they are well versed in General Knowledge that fluctuate randomly in time. To very specific geographical region- to specific books- concepts in specialized fields so on!
I thought the 2 guys with glasses from Oxford University are twins- the guys who sat beside each other.
Btw, they are all amazing. Congratulations.
I'm not native speaker of English. Even subtitles couldn't help to undrestand this speaker's perfect accent. Sometimes I'm scared of smart people like these guys

Well done guys. You are real hard-fought. It's easy to go around social media from morning to night and rant as if you know something. you chose the hard way and it's not for everyone.
Is anyone else here trying to answer the questions? I've been able to answer one of them spot on and I feel so good about myself rn
The One Cambridge guy not wearing glasses is so sweet
Yeah he is so sweet
Great minds right here, pleasure to watch.
They all did great! Hope everyone is doing well and have a good life. God bless y’all ❤

incredible, how do they prepare for this??? genuinely very curious
Six packs are overrated.. Man with spectacle and this kind of brain is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's not the battle of school it is a battle of student even how hard you teach it depends on a students if they grow
I don't know why but it feel fun to watch
I got the Hannah Arendt one right I felt like Einstein bro
I don't know why I am here; I was searching for relaxing music.
Well done, lads.
Even I did not get the entire question, I still nod my head and think about my dinner.
nightmare blunt rotation
Lord Of The Flies and angular velocity, pretty straightforward. Both teams had very good players.
The guys from University of Cambridge look like The Big Bang Theory cast :)

Amazing
the brain power in this video is overwhelming me
it's like a series where you get to know each character a little more when they got playtime lol
