Synopsis
Academic quiz played by university teams in the UK and Australia, with Robert MacKenzie asking the questions in London and Creighton Burns travelling around Australia. Rather than a knockout contest, a leaderboard system determined the best team from each country, who met (albeit not in person) in a series final. We don't know who won, but we do know the finalists were Edinburgh University and University of Tasmania.
