Translation

I apologise that this is just a translation from the French wikipedia; I did miss out parts I thought to be entirely irrelevant, though Zhengfu 28 June 2005 10:38 (UTC)

Supplementals

Messy Thinking 02:30, 19 January 2007 (UTC) Based on my own viewings, I have determined the following:[reply]

a number round is played first;
two rounds with letters will follow;
the cycle is repeated under normal circumstances;
the number tiles used to be addressed by another hostess. In fact, the contestants themselves once selected the lines from which these tiles were taken.
It is also possible, in select situations, to obtain an odd-numbered solution when dealing solely with even numbers. For example(100/4)x((6+4)+(8/8)) = 275

Good explanation

I've actually seen the show for myself now (two weeks ago) and this article is a pretty good explanation of it. Unlike Countdown, there are no lettered and numbered tiled, it's all done by computer selections. Mglovesfun 13:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It used to be that way, actually. Exactly as the British version is now. But the French version progressively changed to computer-generated draws over the past 20 years. It became totally computer-generated thereabout 1990, I'd say.

Prizes

The article mentions what the prizes for winning contestants are on the British and Spanish versions of the show, but not on the French original! 86.132.142.207 (talk) 14:56, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Queries

The article says: "In the television version, there are also duels". Does this mean there is another version, which is not on TV? ie a radio version? Or a board gane--TimothyJacobson (talk) 16:22, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The article also says "The winner of a match is the first player to win two games (manches, literally innings) or a player who wins the opening game by 40 points or more." I am a bit confused by this. Does that mean the first person to win two episodes?--TimothyJacobson (talk) 00:11, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
