UCL went up against Open University for a spot in University Challenge‘s semi-final.

During the show, Amol told UCL their bonus round were on terms of graph theory.

He then asked: “All three answers begin with the same letter. In graph theory, what adjective is applied to a graph in which every possible pair of vertices by a unique edge?”

The four players were left equally dumbfounded as they struggled to come up with an answer.

While everyone glanced at each other worried, they turned to teammate Jack.

Through a smile, he quipped: “I don't understand the question.”

Viewers at home took to social media to share their reaction, with one writing: “UCL Jack speaking for 99.9% of the nation when he said ‘I don’t understand the question'.”

A second wrote: “Don't understand the question' is the whole 30 minutes for most of us…”
