Why did he have to wear that hat all the time though? I even started wondering if he had an AI machine hidden under there. It was his subject, after all.

Keeping his brain warm.

I think someone knits his hats (and his jumper) for him! A proud Mum or Auntie?

Yes, well done Manchester, especially Kai. My only gripe is that he spoke so quickly I sometimes missed hearing the answer.

I always have the subtitles on, because a lot of people don’t speak well, and my hearing isn’t what it was.

I think good clear speech should be taught in schools, but who would teach it?

He's a very brilliant freak!

He's terrific! How does he remember all that information?

How rude!!! He’s brilliant.

He’s from my husband’s home town to very pleased with the result.

I can usually answer a few questions but think I only managed 2 last night - I did know the music starter was Wagner and the sociology questions that Edinburgh didn’t know. Kai M is amazing such a breadth of knowledge.

Totally agree, we noticed him in the first round match, his parents must be so very proud 👏👏👏
