background
The source of the format is broadcast by a dedicated quiz channel called 9 Live in Germany, which claims to be the world's first new channel. His broadcasts began in September 2001. After the rise of this channel, more similar channels have emerged around the world, which will also broadcast programs in this format.

Every few minutes (usually, every few minutes, sometimes, every few minutes (20, 30 and even more, and sometimes, every few seconds), short phone calls are held and the host with the viewers at home, trying to resolve the puzzles. The winning sums in the program are often mentioned and appear regularly, large, and sometimes animated, on the screen, in order to stop viewers from participating.
