The 100 opponents have already submitted their answers beforehand. The duo’s challenge is to pick an answer that matches as many opponents as possible. Every time they do, those opponents are knocked out. To succeed, the duo must combine knowledge with the ability to think exactly like the crowd.

After each question, one ring disappears and the remaining opponents step closer. The twelfth question is one with ten possible correct answers. The duo therefore gets ten chances to eliminate the last opponents – only then will they win €50,000. But one wrong answer, and the remaining opponents split the jackpot, leaving the duo with nothing…
