Principle of the game show

[edit]

The game combines two competitors: a competitor ("the head") has to answer complex questions on a specific topic.[6] In a case of failure, a high-level competitor ("legs"), must catch up with their opponent by performing a minimum performance to allow him to stay in the game.[7]

If one competitor reaches the end of the 24 questions (6 questions per week for 4 weeks), they will earn 100,000 francs.
