Page "The Einstein Factor" Paragraph 4

* In round two, contestants are given nine ' subject headings ' which generally have only an indirect and allusive relation to the topic underneath — for example, a question labelled " Rock and Roll " is as likely to be about geology as to be about music.

However, in the first season these categories were a lot more clearly named.

Contestants are asked to choose, in turn, one subject on which to receive a question.

Each contestant makes two picks, so only six out of the nine subjects are asked.

The question is then put to all contestants and the Brains Trust.

The contestants are given five seconds to select their multiple choice answer, then the Brains Trust discusses the question and agree on its selection.

If the Brains Trust gets the question right, all the players who also got the question right receive 50 points ; if the Brains Trust are wrong, players who answered correctly receive 100 points.

In the sixth season, this round was changed so each player would select one category per round instead of two, and the Brains Trust also selected one category.
