'''''It Isn't What You Know''''' is a [[United Kingdom|British]] [[game show]] on [[Challenge]], hosted by [[Chris Tarrant]].

== Gameplay ==
=== Part One ===
The game is played by a team of two (friends, relatives, etc). First of all, they are given three games to play: A, B or C. Each game contains 15 questions and 5 different celebrities, although only one of the celebrities and his/her specialist subject is shown at first. The players must choose one of the games and, once they have, the other four celebrities and their specialist subjects in the chosen game are revealed.

=== Questions and Answers ===
The first question comes up with four possible answers. The specialist celebrity did not receive the four options, the others did. We then see the correct answer (it does not matter if the players got it right or wrong). The players then have to decide on which celebrity they think got the question wrong (in other words, which celebrity was "stumped"). There were at least four occasions in which each celebrity was stumped. Once the players have chosen, their chosen celebrity gets "locked in". We now find out who got the question right and who was stumped. Finally, we have a look at the players' chosen celebrity to see if he/she was stumped. If he/she was one of the non-specialist celebrities and was stumped, the players won £1,000. If he/she was the specialst celebrity and was stumped, the players move up a level and the set changes color. They will now be playing for £5,000. Subsequent correct guesses by the players will go up to £10,000, then £15,000, then to the maximum £25,000.

===Back to Zero===
If the players make an incorrect guess (meaning that their chosen celebrity, specialist or non-specialist, got the question right), they lose what they have accumulated so far. They will still be playing at their current level, re-starting their jackpot from zero. However, if they make an incorrect guess twice in a row, they go down a level (unless they are still on the first level).

If, at any point, the players are uncertain of correctly guessing a stumped celebrity, they can pass on the question and keep their winnings safe (they only have one pass, though), but they cannot pass on Question 15 (the last question) because that would be too easy, stated by [[Chris Tarrant]].

At the end, we have a good look at how the players had done up to this point. The players then get offered between 20%-50% of how much they had banked on Question 14. If they take the offer, they earn the amount of money offered and still go on to Question 15, just to see what would have happened (did they make the right decision or the wrong decision)? If the players reject the offer, they go on to Question 15 and try to make a correct guess. If they choose a stumped celebrity, their jackpot goes up by £1,000, £5,000, £10,000, £15,000 or £25,000 (depending on which ever level they were on) and take home with them whatever they have banked. If they choose a celebrity that got the question right, they leave empty-handed.
