Corpus Christi College, Oxford: Not so clever after all



From the Observer:

She got by with a little help from her friends. Gail Trimble, dubbed "the human Google" and the "greatest contestant ever", went from student to superstar last week with her team's victory in the final of University Challenge.

But her colleagues in the winning team from Corpus Christi College, Oxford, have escaped similar scrutiny - until now. The Observer has discovered that one of Trimble's teammates, Sam Kay, was no longer a student - and had not been since June last year.

Looks like Manchester's title, then.

Talking of University Challenge, one should never miss an opportunity to laugh at David Aaronovitch.
