The show will be filmed on a stage that includes two "expert" competitors (i.e. with PhDs, MDs, and working experience in their respective fields) and two statistics and psychology student competitors. Questions will be asked by the host, after which each contestant has one minute to formulate and write a response, and then share it with the audience. The host then announces the correct answer, judges tally scores, and the process repeats. After the 1-hour competition, judges break to tally scores, select one winner from both groups, and one top champion.
