Ход мероприятия

Класс делится на 4–5 команд по 4–6 человек. Соревнуются сначала 2 команды. На обсуждение каждого вопроса дается 1 минута. Очки получает та команда, которая первой даст правильный ответ. Если ответ был неправильный, у команды соперников есть возможность ответить до истечения 1 минуты обсуждения. Если ни одна из команд не дает правильного ответа, за ответ на следующий вопрос можно заработать 2 очка. Игра продолжается до 6 очков одной из команд. Победившая команда играет со следующим соперником. Вопросы, предлагаемые командам, проверяют не просто знание фактического материала, а умение  применить эти знания. Вопросы требуют смекалки, быстроты мышления и общей эрудированности.
