Game course
[edit]In this show two candidates (celebrities) have to compete and answer multiple scientific questions. In each episode there are 9 questions. With almost each question an experiment is held to figure out the answer. These experiments are held in the studios (Technopolis in Belgium, NEMO in the Netherlands). The first eight questions are equal to one point each. The last one five points. The winner is the one with the most points and he or she wins a brain modeled in platinum for the Netherlands version and a golden brain for the Belgian version. The loser has to offer his body to science by participating at a hard and tough challenge.
Categories
[edit]The questions are divided in 3 categories:
