Armenians Participate in Game of Intellect

If you speak Russian, chances are you know about this game. If not, here you go:

The “What, Where, When” Russian-language intellectual game that originated in the 1970s and Brain Ring established later are currently widely spread in CIS countries.

During the game six intellectual players get a question sent by TV viewers and discuss it for one minute, and then the captain of the team decides who gives the answer, which, if correct, brings a point.

With stormy discussions and great enthusiasm Armenian intellectual players try to find answers to interesting questions. Every correct answer is followed by gleeful celebration.

The unique aspect is not the game, but that it was sponsored - that is, paid for - by Armenia's Ministry of Culture and Youth Affairs. However, since fewer Armenians speak Russian, some of the teams are not as strong, as they must first translate and then solve the questions.
