I'm amazed they didn't guess the seas one! They even said "Odessa's on the black sea"! I didn't know they were ports, but as soon as they said that, I guessed the colours must be the seas they're on... But they totally ignored the colours altogether!
I was the kinda the same, as soon as they said "black sea", I was like "Oh of course that's what it is", and assumed they thought the same, but they somehow messed it up
@@AlainDee can you really defend it as that though? Especially considering the others all contain alcohol groups in a chemical sense. Seems esoteric for snugness’ sake on the part of the writers.
how is 1 minute to 10 palindromic? EDIT: just seen this discussed in comments below, that is really sneaky, if accounting for a digital clock the leading zero should definitely be a factor!
I was always factoring in the zero and I was banging my head for a good 5 mins trying to work out how the hell 09:59 is palindromic! Like OP said, very sneaky!
@@WillieRayPR >you would most commonly see 9:59 on a digital clock That is a generation gap. TODAY you would not see 09 on a phone or PC or something. On my old digital clock from 30 years ago you would.
I'm surprised they got the 1000 parts one, considering they didn't know the first three ! As a french I had trouble remembering the name of the Mille-Feuilles, until they said millipede, then it all clicked.
Quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised to wake up one morning to find that our borders have "magically" expanded there overnight. :/ Including religious zealots exclaiming proudly that Jeddah had _always_ been an ancient Jewish territory.
I wonder why they don't keep one connection they're sure of for the wall. Since they only start 3 strikes when there's two connections left, if they keep one, once they get another they've only sent in one of them so they can try all the solutions they want, and when they do find one they've also found the last, and they can send in three of them at once.
The Captain of the Wrights team didn't seem particularly switched-on in any of the episodes I've seen with them in -- she sort of bumbles around a lot when giving answers. Luckily for them, the daughter seems brilliant and has totally carried them.
I also guessed iron and was pretty sure it was the correct answer, but now that I thing about it, there isn't really such a thing as an "iron blood", right? I mean, there is iron IN blood, but what is "iron blood"? Even if I google it, I only find some term from a video-game that didn't even exist back then (plus things like iron blood test, iron blood levels etc).
Well, you're right of course. eIt's interesting because although Victoria says 'on a digital clock', the description on screen says simply "palindromic clock times.' To be accurate as a digital clock reading it ought to begin "10 minutes to 6" (05:50) and the next would be '1 minute after 10' (10:01)
I concurr with OP that it's pronounced Dee-ess Ee-ray. You can even hear it sung in any rendition of the Dies Irae sequence of Mozart's requiem. That said Dee-ess Ee-rye could just be the most accepted pronunciation of the phrase by English speakers. Remember that a lot of language "rules" are descriptive rather than prescriptive: if a spelling, a turn of phrase or in this case a pronunciation break some established precedent it can still considered right on a case by case basis as long as it is just "how people say it"
To me it feels like the best strategy would be to uncover 3 clues immediately and then start guessing. Hardly ever does someone get it right earlier...
9:59. You'll notice the clue writer said "clock times" and digital was just added by Victoria. Also, while computers and so nowadays most of digital clocks display 09:59, 9:59 was a much more familiar digital format ten years ago when this aired

how is aldehyde an alcohol? it's like saying blue is a shade of red.
ORIGIN
mid 19th century: shortened from Latin alcohol dehydrogenatum ‘alcohol deprived of hydrogen’.
Still not an alcohol
@@AlainDee then hydrogen is water deprived of oxygen. Still doesn't make it water, does it?
@@shyambuddh5546 Lol good logic but not perfect. See the logic here is not related to chemistry but the latin origin.

EDIT: just seen this discussed in comments below, that is really sneaky, if accounting for a digital clock the leading zero should definitely be a factor!
If it's 1 minute to 10, you would most commonly see 9:59 on a digital clock, not 09:59

Blood Cart Curtain Sword they have answered IRON which is totally logical they should have given them that point i think
iron carts those carts that miners used back in the day to transport ore
You can make a wooden cart without any iron.
I also guessed iron and was pretty sure it was the correct answer, but now that I thing about it, there isn't really such a thing as an "iron blood", right?

16:15 How is 1 minute to 10 (09:59) palindromic on a digital clock?
To answer myself, without the leading zero 9:59 is indeed palindromic.
Christopher Porter Well done that man! xx
959 and 959 are palindromes.
Well, you're right of course. eIt's interesting because although Victoria says 'on a digital clock', the description on screen says simply "palindromic clock times.' To be accurate as a digital clock reading it ought to begin "10 minutes to 6" (05:50) and the next would be '1 minute after 10' (10:01)
I've never owned a digital clock that showed a leading zero.
Dear VCM, "Dies Irae" is pronounced Dee-ess Ee-ray, (with a rolled "R") not Dee-ess Ee-rye.
The AE Latin diphthong is regularly pronounced as I. I would pronounce it as VCM has.
If she read your comment, all these videos might get taken down.
Good thing she never will.
Latin teacher here - ee-ray sounds very wrong. Definitely ee-rye!
I concurr with OP that it's pronounced Dee-ess Ee-ray. You can even hear it sung in any rendition of the Dies Irae sequence of Mozart's requiem.
That said Dee-ess Ee-rye could just be the most accepted pronunciation of the phrase by English speakers. Remember that a lot of language "rules" are descriptive rather than prescriptive: if a spelling, a turn of phrase or in this case a pronunciation break some established precedent it can still considered right on a case by case basis as long as it is just "how people say it"
People do pronounce it like that when referring to the song, but it isn’t the usual way of pronouncing it when using Classical Latin.
To me it feels like the best strategy would be to uncover 3 clues immediately and then start guessing. Hardly ever does someone get it right earlier...
"In Space, No-one(body) can hear you scream" is such bullshit
How is 1 minute to 10 a palindrome in digital format? Surely that’s a mistake? As that would be 09:59 or 21:59 neither of which are palindromes.
