Lifelines

edit
  • Audience Poll:- If any contestant would use this lifeline, the host would repeat the question to the audience. The studio audience would get 10 seconds to answer the question. Audience members would use touchpads to give the answer what they believe. After the audience would have chosen their choices, their choices would be displayed to the contestant in percentages in bar-graph format and also shown on the monitors screens of the host and contestant, as well as the TV viewers.
  • 50:50 (Fifty-fifty):- If the contestant would use this lifeline, the host would ask the computer to remove two of the wrong answers. This would remain one right answer and one wrong answer. This would help a contestant giving 50% chance of answering the correct answer.
  • Phone A Friend:- If the contestant would use this lifeline, the contestant would be allowed to call one of the three pre-arranged friends, who all have to provide their phone numbers in advance. The host would usually be started off by talking to the contestant's friend and introduces him/her to the viewers. After the introduction, the host would hand the phone call over to the contestant, who then immediately had 30 seconds to ask and hope for a reply from their friend.

Rules

edit

In season 1, every contestant had a time limit: 30 seconds for questions 1-5, and 45 seconds for questions 6-10. On questions 11-15, it goes away, giving the contestant as much time as they need to answer the questions. But in season 2, every contestant had clock: 45 seconds for answer the questions 1-5, 60 seconds for answer the questions 6-10 and for questions 11-15, clock disappeared.
