A Trinity College Cambridge student has been hailed ‘one of the most relatable’ contestants ever to appear on University Challenge after ‘tuning out’ of a question.
Navonil Neogi, a Maths student from Surrey, left viewers in hysterics after he admitted to host Jeremy Paxman that he had no idea what question he had just asked.
Despite the blunder, Trinity College beat Durham University 190-90 points during last night’s episode of the BBC2 quiz show and will be progressing to the next round.
Viewers found the moment hilarious, with several praising his honesty and saying the contestant was ‘speaking for us all at some point’.
