Power of Ten

Vera is the hostess of the Russian version of "Power of Ten" (In Russian: Магия 10-ти, "Magic of 10") premiered on January, 7th on Channel One Russia. [ [http://www.1tvrus.com/anonce/pkvs/8950/?tz=470 Первый канал. Зарубежное и тематическое вещание / Эфир / Магия десяти ] ]

The maximum prize is 10,000,000 rubles (approx. $400,000). On March 10th Ildar Zhindarev answered a 1.000.000-ruble question correctly and decided to risk 1 million. Having a range between 7 and 17 per cent his guess was 9%. However, the correct answer equalled 10%.

In the first round two contestants have to tell what percentage of Russians have answered a given question positively. The one whose answer is the closest gains a point. The first contestant who collects 3 point advances to Round Two. In the second round the patricipant has to guess the range which contains the correct answer. However, the range shrinks with every question, i.e:

*1,000 rubles - 40 per cent
*10,000 rubles - 30 per cent
*100,000 rubles - 20 per cent
*1,000,000 rubles - 10 per cent
* 10,000,000 rubles - the contestant has to give a precise answer contained in a 10 per cent range

If a participant gives a wrong answer, the money s/he has already won is divided by 10. But in order not to end up with nothing, s/he has to possess at least 10,000 rubles.
