Title: Did Paxman just mess up on University Challenge?
Post by: Walt Zingmatilder on April 10, 2017, 08:40:31 PM
I'm sure Paxman has just messed up.

Monkman's answer '' The morohovicic layer'' was rejected by Paxman but Goldman for Baliol says ''The Moho'' and has his answer accepted......!!!!

They're the same thing.

Whatever question has the answer ''moho''

Seriously though............ what is the boundary of the earths crust and mantle?

There's a scandal in the making here which will doubtless end up with Paxman calling someone a ''cunt''.

According to the Mirror the question was,
"In Earth Science what four-letter term denotes the zone that separates the Earth's crust from the mantle?"

Monkman messed up so many starters, thereby losing five points each time, that he must have been in the pay of Balliol!  ::)


The question over which Vlad is obsessing clearly called for a four letter answer.
