[/quote]Round 1
Each of the contestants begain the quiz with three 'lives'. Each contestant will asked a general-knowledge question in numerical order and given thirty seconds to answer. If the correct answer is not given, the contestant loses one of their three lives. After all of the contestants are asked a question, another round of questioning will begin in the same manner. Any player who fails to answer the first question correctly and also incorrectly answers the second question loses both remaining lives and is out of the game.
So its "Two questions each: one correct answer from you to survive."
Round 2
At this point, each contestant will have either 2 or 3 lives remaining. As in Round 1, questions will be asked to contestants 1, 2, 3, etc. in turn, with one life lost for an incorrect response. As soon as one player answers correctly, that player can begin nominating. If the nominated player does not give a correct answer, the nominee loses a life and the nominator has to nominate again. A correct answer from the nominee and they become the new nominator. Loss of a contestant's final life removes him or her from the game. You are not allowed to nominate the previous nominator. When only three contestants remain, the first phase of the quiz is over.
Round 3
The Final is played for points. The three contestants are restored to their full set of three lives; also, the number of lives that each player has remaining at the end of Round 2 becomes part of their score.
In the end game, up to 40 questions will be asked, A wrong answer will cost one life (three lost lives spells elimination, regardless of score), while correct answers score 10 points. The first question will be open to all players to answer, first one to answer correctly receives the points. Once one of the players answers three questions correctly, he or she will be given the choice to answer the next question or to nominate one of the other two players to answer.
From this point on, after each correct answer, the host will ask ask "Question or nominate?". If a nominated player fails to answer a question correctly, the nominator again has a choice of "Question or nominate?". If a player chooses to answer a question himself or herself and fails to answer it correctly, the next question will be asked on the buzzer. After two players had been eliminated, the remaining player will be asked the remaining questions one by one. Once all 40 questions are asked or the last remaining player loses all of his or her lives, the game is over. The player who survives the longest is declared the winner. If two or three players survive through all 40 questions, the player with the top score (regardless of lives left) is the winner. Any lives that remain are added to the winning player's score, with a value of 10 points each.
