Who asks wins
Who asks, wins was the title of an entertainment program on ARD radio that was broadcast from 1954 to 1974.
procedure
In the scout game about words and terms, moderated by Hans Rosenthal , which was based on the idea of the US quiz game Twenty Questions , two teams of three people each played against each other in each program, one after the other, terms from the plant and mineral kingdom as well as from the field of living beings had to guess. First of all, the number of questions was decisive in three rounds, then it was about speed against the pointer of the clock. At the end of each program, the winner was the team that had guessed the most terms the fastest. The dwarf omniscient (spoken by Horst Kintscher ) acted as the spokesman for the announcement of the advice terms . Horst Kintscher took on this speaking role.
There was also a celebrity guess where an artist, athlete or politician, hidden behind a screen for the teams, but visible to the audience in the hall, could be guessed. Only the “no” answers counted. Whoever guessed the celebrity with the fewest “no” answers received one point. Over the years there have been various tournaments with changing teams, so u. a. with well-known politicians and journalists, with academics and police officers, with Hamburg captains and Berlin skippers, with artists and radio staff; There was even a senate quiz championship between Hamburg and Berlin with bright minds from the civil service as well as a tournament of youth groups with representatives of the DAG, the DGB, the state youth, the nature lovers and the evangelical youth. The series ended with a “quiz fight of the tertia”, in which boys and girls from the respective broadcasting areas participated.
