Rules
Unlike traditional "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire", this game is played by a team of two players.
In Round 1, the playing pair will answer ten questions. Each question is worth a different random amount, and all the money they win goes into their jackpot. If at any point they get an answer wrong, the value of the jackpot is halved. The team plays together but will answer each question separately.
Only one player in the couple (determined at random) sees the question and its two answers. They will have ten seconds to lock in their answer. After the first player selects an answer, the host turns to the second player and shows them the question and the answer that the first player chose. (They are not shown the answer that their partner turned down.) Player 2 must now decide whether to agree with Player 1's answer, or to switch the team's answer to other answer, whatever it may be. If the question is ultimately answered correctly, the value of the question will be added to the bank. Otherwise, the current value of the bank is halved.
In Round 2, the host plays five questions to one player of the team in succession. After playing them, the other player would have only seen one of the two choices. Now the second player will look at all five answers and determine how many questions the first player answered correctly. If the player guesses too few or too many, the winnings are reduced to zero.
Final Phase
In the final phase will be asked five questions to one of the two competitors, this will have 10 seconds to answer each question and her partner will on his electronic screen stand the answer. It will decide whether to confirm or choose the option that he does not see. At the end of the questions the contestant who does not see both answers will have to make a prediction of the number of correct answers given. You can win the total prize money only if the forecast is 5 and proves correct, otherwise the part of prize money that is won will be proportionately if less. If you guessed the number of correct answers will win the pair won the prize, otherwise it will settle the consolation prize
