Rules of the Challenge:

Participants must be Belgian residents over 18 years old. One registration per person is authorised. The participant can only compete in his name and not for someone else. Personal information of the participant may be verified through different sources. Personal data must be accurate. Inaccurate or false information given by the participant will invalid the registration or entail the loss of the Prize.

The score & level of the questions:

You will have 15 minutes to give the correct answer to as many questions as you can (up to 24). The questions are multiple-choice with one and only one right answer. The online test contains questions with one level of difficulty: Medium with an associated score of 2 points if answered correctly. The total score will be the cumulative score of the answers. A wrong answer always gives the same score (-1). When you pass on a question, you don’t win or lose points.

The challenge allows the usage of three ‘jokers’: the "50/50", forcing the system to take out half of the answers, the "Ask the challengers", whereby the percentage of the challengers choosing each answer is displayed to you and the "bonus question / Ask a friend", in which the challenger sends a bonus question to one friend during the challenge. After the challenge, a friend provides input, and the score is adapted accordingly.
