LONDON -- It's not just the brain-achingly hard questions that people watch University Challenge for -- it's also for the vast array of legendary contestants.
In recent weeks we've had the spectacularly named Barto Joly de Lotbiniere; we've had the woman doing a course in "sphincter preservation", and the guy who appeared to be terrified by the sound of the buzzer. There was that bloke that wore a vest.
And although we say this every week, the show really may have outdone itself this time.
Introducing Monday night's man of the hour: Oscar Powell of Peterhouse, Cambridge.

Powell's animated facial expressions were a thing of beauty during the show.

As you'd expect, Twitter was quick to pick up on this.

Powell's face could have its own show #universitychallenge— Will Hunt (@Will_Hunt) December 7, 2015
It was Powell's expression during the music round that really captured everyone's attention, though.

Judging by Powell's face I think this is the first time he's heard music from the 20th century #universitychallenge— Dr Paul Coxon (@paulcoxon) December 7, 2015
Even his teammates weren't sure what to make of his reaction.

And how did the man himself react to his newfound fame? Well, he took it all in his stride of course...
Re #universitychallenge - yes, I know I'm odd. No, I don't mind you pointing it out. I might actually find it quite amusing.— Oscar Powell (@oscarTFpowell) December 7, 2015
