Gameplay
Two contestants, working as a team, must correctly answer 7 general knowledge questions, each having 4 possible answers, to win €1,000 or €100,000.
30 buzzers are arranged in front of them and illuminate when pressed, randomly either green, or red, or golden yellow.
10 prizes of €100,000 and 10 prizes of €1,000 are at stake.
Of the 30 buzzers :
- 10 green buzzers remove a wrong answer.
- 10 golden buzzers eliminate a potential prize of €100,000.
- 10 red buzzers eliminate a potential prize of €1,000.
When contestants are unable to answer a question, they can search for a green buzzer to remove a wrong answer. During this search, contestants can also uncover:
- Some golden buzzers, eliminating desirable prizes (€100,000).
- Some red buzzers, eliminating less desirable prizes (€1,000).
When a green buzzer is found, the host asks what are the 2 answers between which they are hesitating. Contestants will select, of course, the 2 answers that they consider the most plausible. One of those answers is wrong. Therefore, an incorrect, but plausible, answer is withdrawn (however, nothing guarantees that the other un-eliminated answer is the correct answer, because contestants may not have indicated the correct answer among the 2 answers that they consider most plausible). Therefore, there are still 3 answers to choose from and contestants have as many seconds to answer as there remain unused buzzers.
When contestants can answer a question without the help of the buzzers, 2 red buzzers are removed.
A life-line, the "Give and Take" is available once per episode: It provides the answer, but removes 2 golden buzzers.
If the 7 questions are answered correctly, the remaining green buzzers are removed and the contestants choose a final buzzer. Tension is strong until the end, as they do not know if they will finally find a golden buzzer (and a prize of €100,000) or a red buzzer (and a prize of €1,000).
