If I’m in of a Monday evening, I am rather partial to playing along with University challenge. So much so that I’ve been keeping score.
The rules are:
You have to say the answer out loud before any on screen contestant.
If you shout out a wrong answer to a starter question you have to loose five points, just like they do.
| University | Score | University | Score | CP College (me) |
| Christchurch – Oxford | 245 | Homerton – Cambridge | 65 | 55 |
| Birmingham | 200 | Magdalen – Oxford | 210 | 60 |
| Birmingham | 145 | St Andrews | 200 | 110 |
| Worcester – Oxford | no record | Pembroke – Cambridge | No record | 115 |
| Edinburgh | 130 | Bangor | 105 | 85 |
| Uni central Lanc | 90 | Sheffield | 265 | 135 |
| Durham | 120 | St Edmonds Hall – Oxford | 255 | 155 |
| Exeter | 215 | Jesus College | 140 | 110 |
| Manchester | 260 | Newcastle | 105 | 85 |
| Nottingham | 180 | Christchurch | 305 | 135 |
As you can see I’ve come second twice, and not done too shabby on other occasions, and there’s one of me and four of them. What’s more my Alma Mater was St Martins college of Art where I did sculpture! Pah, kids today. I wonder if you could make a red button or online version of Uni challenge? At the moment there isn’t even a holding page for it on the BBC.
*As in it’s the highest point in London.. not high as in a 60skind of a way – man. Though this blurb say thatWesterham heights is the highest point, but look at the map, that’s not really in London is it, that’s Kent!
We also play at home: simple rule is 1 point for a correct entry. We also allow us both to win the point…
Perhaps we should try the real scoring system, as you do.
