procedure
Two candidates (X - the champion and O - the challenger) were playing for a jackpot. On the square playing field there were nine fields, to which question categories were assigned. One of the candidates took turns choosing a category. If he was able to answer the question asked, his symbol (X or O) lit up on the playing field. The category was thus filled and an amount was added to the jackpot - depending on the difficulty of the question. The players had to choose their questions in such a way that, based on the game Tic-Tac-Toe - horizontally, vertically or diagonally - a row of three identical symbols (XXX or OOO) was created. However, the questions in the middle were harder to answer. The winner got one round, the loser received one as a consolation prizeCuckoo clock .
Others
The moderator Fritz Benscher did not take the rules of the game too seriously. He was more concerned with the entertainment value, which he promoted with puns and loose slogans.
