- 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:
- 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)
- 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)
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)
- 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)
