Saturday, two hours of the night, Italy 1.
zapping wild, a real lifesaver flatten encephalogram which cling in times of particularly intense study, leads me to the glorious channel Candlewick and Open Studio, how many good memories, casting of minutes in which my tired neurons were pampered by the softness of 'this indispensable information ethereal newspapers ... but that's another story!
So, I find myself up and I see an Italy:
- number 1 monitor,
- No. 1 alumnus of the school of Maria De Filippi recycled as a pseudo-host humorous
- number 2 pseudo-tissue (but with the gift of speech, too soft and ethereal, but the tone a bit 'too loud),
- number 1 strip overlay showing a mouth-watering prize of 1000 euros and a sign showing a fast etc etc to the modest number 163 cost of 1.20 € (VAT incl.) by phone from landlines and 1.86 € (VAT incl.) phones from TIM.
conductors incite the poor boy / girl that you been a Ammaron / or to their friends that did not go to the disco to call the 163 number etc etc to participate in this game.
"Your friends will also come out to have fun ... but YOU can win now 1000 € ... what's now called" The conductors
explain that calling the number that you will have to answer a question first, if the answer was 5 correct you will be subjected to other questions. If you come to the end you will have the opportunity to be extracted in order to go live, play and solve the take home the loot!
The image appears at the beginning of the post is an example of a quiz proposed. The question is: "Tell us in the sum of all numbers in the image."
At first thought, simple, 935 +2 +1 +1010 = 1948. WRONG!
the night progresses, the share decreases and then implement the counter-conductors. Prizes
that suddenly rises from 1000 euros to 1500 euros, all this only through the intercession of the tissue that already feels wonderful Saint Lucia for having done this incredible miracle.
second section of the "fight the declining share" means aid begin to multiply. "Tell us the sum of All numbers in the picture!"
What an idiot! Sure, the 935 and 2 are written in letters. Easy, 1010 +1 = 1011! WRONG!
come inexorably to the third night, the quiz show is about to end. We need to give the final sprint, or you risk the collapse of calls ... The prize money rears up to 2000 euros! Of course, thanks to the intercession of tissue n.2. Also part of the suggestion
"Beware of 1010 ... is a stinker ... looks like a 1010, but it could be something else ... well, enough, say it could be two 10 ..."
Right! Then the sum of all the numbers, considering all possible combinations ....
1010 +10 +10 +1 = 1031! WRONG!
Nobody can guess and competitors seem to disappear without reason numbers: 6178, 7, 125, 1923. Then, the nth 1235, one of the two tissues are angry "but how do you say 1235! We have a 1010 and a nine hundred thirty-five! The sum may not 'be less than 1900 ... "
Damn, I have not understood anything so far, I did too abstruse calculations. If the presenter has counted the number written down in words in his sum-blame, then it means that you can do! So ...
1010 +935 +10 +10 +2 +1 +9 +3 +5 = 1985! WRONG! So ...
1010 +935 +10 +10 +1 +1 +2 +1 +9 +3 +5 +93 +35 = 2115! WRONG!
While my brain was already arrived at 30000 rpm, I read in the strip overlay (that indicated a tasty win of 1000 euros and a sign showing a fast number 163 etc etc) I see the website of the quiz.
Mollo quiz show and I sling on the PC. Read the rules known that "[...] you buy the game you will be put in contact with a system that will provide you with voice instructions and directions to proceed in the various phases of the game .[...] The game will begin with an application 'input, and if you answer correctly you can enter the "virtual fitting room" and start your climb. If the answer is incorrect, the game will end automatically.
buy the game "virtual fitting room", whatever the outcome of your answers, you can participate in the extraction of camera (we omit the brand) [...] Week.
Moreover, of all those who will complete the bet correctly answering all questions posed by the system, the winner will be drawn to leave out a camera brand) [...] week.
[...] In addition, during the live television program "THE BOX GAME" aired on Saturday and Sunday from 01.00 to 03.00 am on about Italy 1, all users who purchase the product / game during this time will win an additional prize.
[...] In the course of the program will be given the opportunity to users, the best results, namely those who have remained in the virtual fitting room for the longest time, to participate in the live program telephone and win a prize if the answer is cur hectares. The number of calls that will go live on television will vary from point to point at the discretion of the sponsoring company. "
Ok ... I think that everything is given a bit 'too much to fate ... but it must be stressed, to be honest, this quiz seems to be much more ethically correct clones broadcast on local networks. In fact there are few mechanisms to prevent the looting of the pockets of their competitors, such as the fact that the "cost of the product / game is about € 1.20 cents tax included (regardless of the duration of the call) from the fixed telephone [...] TELECOM , while [...] if the game will be bought by the TIM mobile phone will cost € 1.86 cents tax included (regardless of the duration of the call). "
Despite all the Antitrust has opened an investigation "against Mediaset, or rather of its productive sector RTI, for false advertising in connection with The Box Game, the game show night Italia1," announces the ADUC ( Association for the Rights of Consumers and Users), "which sees it accepted its request to shed light on the mechanism of the game, which led to many participants, or aspiring, incredibly high phone bills." In fact, the ADUC specifies that "participation and 'subjected to a series of conditions and especially the arbitrary / the discretion of the promoter, that (Regulation at hand) could not run any live phone call. "
In conclusion, the quiz would seem cleaner than those disconcertingly" cheating "of the local networks, but I bet no one in sight has guessed the answer and there is an investigation against this Authority's quiz show ...
In summary I would say this quiz show, Mediaset and all those involved in the implementation of this program are innocent until proven guilty, but I would avoid having to attend the doubts raised by several parties and the Authority's investigation.
