criticism
Focus compared the first broadcast with Wetten, dass ..? : "The parallels to the big betting format were obvious: Several candidates demonstrate their enormous memory, arithmetic and combinatorial skills and thus compete for the crown of the big brain among the top brainers." of all science-centering was also extremely entertaining, was also due to the attention to detail of Pilawa's editorial team. "
The winner of the first edition, Robin Wersig, blindly filled a chessboard with 64 numbers via knight jump, which resulted in the same line and column total. However, the difficulty of the task was not seen as exceptional by critics like Andreas Griewank in Der Spiegel .
The fourth-placed candidate in the first edition was accused of cheating by the press. Gerhard Wolters from Wichtrach in Switzerland could hear exactly which musicians were not playing in a symphony orchestra. However, the orchestra is said to have played different versions of the piece of music and thus deceived the audience. The musicians who did not play along were coded using the number of bars (1st violinist = different note in 1st bar, etc.).
