Clever twins

In the season of "University Challenge" nearing completion, there were twin sisters on different teams: Katie Marrow (Physics; Imperial College London) and Rebecca Marrow (Biology; St John's, Cambridge). I'd hoped they would meet in the series final as that would have given it a highly amusing extra dimension. Alas, St John's were eliminated in the second round and Imperial narrowly went down to Warwick in yesterday's first semi. Never mind - it's an achievement even to make it onto the program. Imagine how competitive it must be when Katie and Rebecca watch quiz shows together!

Coincidentally, there were twin bros on a recent ep of the Oz "Mastermind". One was a journalist (special subject "Flight Of The Conchords"), the other a flight instructor (The Highwaymen). The journo beat his brother convincingly and won the night, but he was unable to repeat that success on the Friday.
