I think Durham has a chance if they win twice more...according to UC's arcane system.Comment

Same here. It sometimes happens I can get a piece from just the first chord, but Kohn got that one before my ears had even registered the first chordOriginally posted by Rolmill View Post

I’m backing the winners this week (15/2) to get the title. Pretty dazzling and seemingly delightful people too."...the isle is full of noises,

Yes they were very good this week, but they have already lost twice, so not unbeatable. Their captain was very quick on the buzzer though!Originally posted by Nick Armstrong View Post
I think Warwick will be very hard to beat this year.Comment

I agree; Imperial have been quite inconsistent this year. When they've been good, and the starter questions have fallen well for them (and for their captain in particular), they appear all but unstoppable. But the two contests they lost were not at all close, and they were well beaten. They could still win, but they would need some luck to do so. I don't think they are as astonishing as last year's winning team.Originally posted by Rolmill View Post"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance.

Very true, both (inc Rolmill). But I like their style! And their skipper knows his music!Originally posted by LHC View Post"...the isle is full of noises,

Do science students know more about the Arts than vice-versa?Comment

I don't know, though I've often heard it said that mathematicians like the music of JS Bach more than do lovers of 19th century Romantic music because of what they see as its objectivity and logic.Originally posted by ardcarp View PostComment

Yes, and the bigger defeat was to Warwick. I agree with NA though that they come across very well (inclusive, non-arrogant, seem to be enjoying themselves) and I would be pleased if they progress.Originally posted by LHC View PostComment

I suppose a science student is more likely to read Dickens or listen to Mozart than an arts student is to memorise the periodic table in his spare time.Originally posted by ardcarp View PostComment

A very good music round in Monday’s contest, again featuring Mr Kohn!Originally posted by Nick Armstrong View PostSame here. It sometimes happens I can get a piece from just the first chord, but Kohn got that one before my ears had even registered the first chord"...the isle is full of noises,

The speed with which he identified the Faure piece was quite astonishing; he certainly knows his music.Originally posted by Nick Armstrong View Post"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance.
