What where when are the best games of experts. Principles of team formation in “what, where, when”

GS material

Season rules

After the anniversary fortieth season, which was held in 2015, the rules of the season underwent significant changes.

Season structure

Since the 2016 season, 10 teams of experts have been constantly participating in the Club. Due to the increase in the number of teams, the number of games played per year has also increased - from 17 to 20, as in last year’s anniversary season.

Each series consists of five games, and now there are no series finales as such - only the Final of the year remains, the remaining games are simply called the last ones. However, the frequency of awarding Crystal and Diamond Owls has not changed: the Crystal Owl is awarded in every last game of the Spring, Summer and Autumn Series, and the Diamond Owl is awarded in the Winter Series, in the Final of the Year.

Thus, the Spring, Summer and Autumn series consist of five games, the Winter series - of four games and the Final of the year.

The following items have been added to the season structure:

  • A team that lost its last game cannot play in the Winter Series.
  • A team that loses two games in one season is ineligible for the next season.
  • A team that has not won a single game in the previous two seasons will also be ineligible for the next season (this rule comes into effect in 2017).

Rating

Instead of the Regular Season game rating, a constant team rating has been introduced, which does not change throughout the season. At the beginning of the season, the Club's teams are ranked from 1 to 10 depending on the results of games in previous seasons. The higher the team's achievements, the higher its place in the ranking. The team with a higher rating, with equal performance, will have priority over the others. And unlike the Regular Season, a team’s place in the ranking does not change during the season.

Order of games

The Spring and Summer series now have no differences in their “importance”: during them, each Club team plays one game. Based on the overall results of these games, teams are given the right to play in the Winter Series or the opportunity to get into the Autumn Series.

Spring series

Teams in odd positions in the rankings take part in the Spring Series:

  • First game - 9th place
  • Second game - 7th place
  • Third game - 5th place
  • Fourth game - 3rd place
  • Fifth game - 1st place

The last team to win becomes the winner of the Spring Series and earns the right to play in the Winter Series. The remaining teams have a chance to play in the Fall Series.

Summer series

Teams in even-numbered positions in the rankings take part in the Summer Series:

  • First game - 10th place
  • Second game - 8th place
  • Third game - 6th place
  • Fourth game - 4th place
  • Fifth game - 2nd place

The last team to win becomes the winner of the Summer Series and gets the right to play in the Winter Series. The remaining teams have a chance to play in the Fall Series.

Autumn series

The first game of the Autumn Series will be played by a team of labor collectives. Regardless of the result of the game, this team does not qualify for participation in further games of the season.

The second, third, fourth and fifth games of the Fall Series will feature teams that won the Spring and Summer Series (with the exception of teams that advanced to the Winter Series). The order of games in the Autumn Series depends on the team's place in the season ranking - the higher the ranking, the later the team plays. Moreover:

  • If there are fewer places in the Autumn Series than winning teams in the Spring and Summer Series, the teams occupying higher places in the season ranking will have priority to play.
  • If there are more spots in the Fall Series than winning teams, the remaining spots may be taken by teams that lost in the Spring or Summer Series. Teams occupying higher places in the season rankings will have a preferential right to play.

The last team to win is the winner of the Fall Series and earns the right to play in the Winter Series.

Winter series

The winter series has not undergone as significant changes as the others. However, some adjustments were made to the order. From now on, the Decisive Round is relevant and applies only to the Winter Series.

The first game of the Winter Series will be attended by either the visiting team of the club, or the team of Crystal Atom prize winners, or a team of experts who never lost in the 2016 season, but did not qualify for the Winter Series according to the basic rules.

The winning team of the Fall Series will play in the second game of the Winter Series.

The winning teams of the Spring and Summer Series will take part in the third and fourth games of the Winter Series. Moreover, the order of these games depends on the team’s place in the season rankings - the higher the place, the later the team plays.

The winner of the Winter Series, as in previous seasons, will be the team that beats the TV viewers with a larger score. If this indicator is equal for several teams, the one that played later gets an advantage. This team will get the right to play in the Final of the year.

Changes to teams and their compositions

  • Andrei Supranovich's team will not take part in the 2016 season.
  • Ales Mukhin's team will not take part in the 2016 season.
  • Rovshan Askerov left Balash Kasumov’s team and created his own, becoming its captain. Team members: Anastasia Shutova (played in Andrei Supranovich’s team), Alena Blinova (daughter of Alexey Blinov), Natalya Kulikova, Ekaterina Mereminskaya, Inna Semyonova.
  • Instead of Rovshan Askerov, Elman Talibov, who was a member of Ales Mukhin’s team until 2015 inclusive, will play in Balash Kasumov’s team.

Prizes

The best player of each game of the season receives a prize from the defender of the interests of experts, a representative of the General Sponsor - the state corporation Rosatom - Crystal Atom. The interests of experts are protected by the director of the communications department of the state corporation Rosatom, Sergei Novikov.

Each TV viewer who defeats the experts receives a cash prize, depending on the point he brought to the team of TV viewers: for the 1st point - 50,000 rubles, for the 2nd - 60,000 rubles, ..., for 6- e - 100,000 rub. The TV viewer who authored the best question in the game receives an additional prize of 150,000 rubles. Thus, the prize fund for each game is 600,000 rubles. The prizes are presented by the defender of the interests of television viewers, a representative of the sponsor - VTB Bank (since May 2016, Bank of Moscow has merged with VTB). VTB Bank Vice President Vladimir Verkhoshinsky protects the interests of TV viewers.

If the experts answer the viewer’s question with the help of the Club, the viewer receives compensation corresponding to the prize that he would have received if he had won from the experts.

If the experts win, the entire unraveled amount goes into the prize fund of the Final of the year, to a special VTB account, which opens at the beginning of each season with a starting amount of 600,000 rubles.

The last game of the Spring, Summer and Autumn Series determines the Best Player; in case of victory of experts - from experts, in case of victory of TV viewers - from TV viewers. The best player in the series receives the Crystal Owl prize and 500,000 rubles (previously - 300,000 rubles).

In the Final Game of the year, the Best Player is determined: if the experts win, from the experts, in the case of the TV viewers, from the TV viewers. The best player receives the Diamond Owl prize and 1,000,000 rubles. The prize fund for the Final of the Year is equally divided among all the TV viewers who won against the experts in the Final of the Year.

This article describes the television version of the game. For information about tournaments and the sports version of the game, see.

What? Where? When?- an intellectual quiz, the most common in the Russian-speaking environment. It was created in the city by TV presenter Vladimir Voroshilov. The game very quickly became so popular that in addition to the original television version, a sports version of the game appeared. The essence of the game is confrontation teams of Experts(game team of six people) TV Viewers team. Experts must use brainstorming to find the answer to a question sent by a viewer in one minute. Typically, players are asked questions that can be answered using general knowledge and logic. For each correct answer, the Experts team receives one point; in case of an incorrect answer, a point is awarded to the TV Viewers team. The game is played to six points.

Game show rules

IN television version Each correct answer to a question gives the team one point; an incorrect answer gives a point to the “team of spectators” (who, as it were, play together against the team of experts). When one team scores six points, it wins. This means that no more than eleven questions can be asked during one televised game. The rules of the TV game are constantly changing, but it always takes place (with the exception of the first few seasons) in the Hunting Lodge of Neskuchny Garden in Moscow. There is a special room equipped with a tape measure, on which there is a top with an arrow. The questions are in envelopes laid out on the table, signed with the names of the cities of the participants who sent the question. The spinning top is spun by the manager, and the question on which the arrow stops is chosen for the game. If the dropped question has already been played, then the next question clockwise that has not yet been played is selected.

The discussion lasts for one minute. At the end of the discussion, the team captain must name an expert who will give the answer. As a rule, the floor is given to the author of the version.

If, during the announcement of the question by the leader, the expert understands the answer to it, he can give a sign (often this is a fist with a thumb raised up), after which the team captain can tell the leader before the actual discussion of the question begins that the answer is ready. If the answer is correct, in addition to the expert point, the team has the opportunity to take an extra minute of discussion. The number of minutes depends on the number of correct answers given ahead of time, and a team can take more than one additional minute in a row.

A rule such as “club help” was also introduced. If experts do not know the answer to a question, they can turn to experts in the room. The time that can be used for these purposes is 20 seconds. In 2007, this rule was slightly changed, after which help can only be taken if the score is not in favor of experts. Previously, there was such a rule as “masters’ help”, in which experts could be prompted by game masters within 20 seconds, but this rule was subsequently canceled.

Since the experts are not alone in the room, there is the potential for unauthorized tips. To prevent this, during a discussion of an issue, there is a manager in the room who, when he detects this, raises a red card. In addition, several operators are involved in the hall, which makes it possible to record the hint on video. If the rules are violated, the person who suggested the answer is, in most cases, removed from the room. The presenter has the right not to count the answer of experts.

Questions

General information

The game requires great education and a broad outlook in the field of modern science, the ability to think quickly, originally and out of the ordinary. From a brief description of the game, one might mistakenly conclude that in order to play the game successfully, you need to remember many facts. In fact, questions that require knowledge of certain facts are usually uninteresting; people try to avoid such questions. A good question should contain everything necessary for an answer; in addition, it may require knowledge at the high school level, attentiveness, observation, etc. Often some extra word or grammatical subtlety that is not very suitable in a given context is a strong hint; puns, etc. play such a role, so questions are often untranslatable and presuppose knowledge of cultural studies.

The questions relate to different areas of knowledge and have different styles, so the best players will be the most erudite and well-read. A strong team should have harmonious cooperation between people with different ways of thinking, and, if possible, specialists in different fields. Much depends on training and the ability to understand each other within the team.

Types of questions

  1. Common question. Connoisseurs are asked in verbal form a question sent by mail from one of the viewers. The question is selected using a spinning top in standard form. One minute is given to discuss the question, after which experts must give an answer. The answer comes from one team expert. The captain determines the answer.
  2. Multimedia question. This is a question asked through video, audio, or drawings. In a game show, the video is simply shown on a monitor. In the sports version, a printout (also known as a “handout”) is placed on each table before the question is asked. Often, before reading a question, in order to avoid tedious rewriting, long texts (for example, poems) are also distributed.
  3. Question with subject. The team is shown an object and asked, for example, to guess what it serves (or served), use the object(s) to achieve a certain result, etc.
  4. Black box question. Here you need to answer what is in the black box in front of the players. In rare cases, this can serve as a kind of hint, since the size of the box is limited, and it clearly cannot contain anything abstract (although there were cases when the box was empty, and the absence of objects in the box was the correct answer, but this is rather an exception) . One time there was another black box in a black box (December 27, 2008). As a variant of this type of question, if the item does not fit into the black box, it is located behind the scenes, which in most cases is additionally reported to experts.
  5. Thirteenth sector. Connoisseurs are invited to ask a question asked by Internet users on the website 13.mts.ru during the broadcast of the game. The question is selected randomly by the computer. At the same time, the question is completely unpredictable and no one (even editors) knows the answer to the question until it is announced.
  6. Sector Zero. At the beginning of the game, three stylized playing cards with a “zero” sign were placed on the sector. If a sector fell out, the “intellectual casino versus experts” round was announced, after which the host Vladimir Voroshilov came out to the players and asked one of the questions on the cards. After the death of Vladimir Voroshilov, the sector was abolished.
  7. Blitz(simple). It consists of three simpler questions (compared to the usual ones), but the team has only 20 seconds for each of them. A team gets a point for three correct answers. This type of question originally appeared in a game show and was later included in the sports version of the game. Despite the difficulty, "Blitz" is periodically won by experts (for example, the team of B. Kasumov in the summer series of 2008).
  8. Super blitz- complicated version blitz, the difference is that one player from the team participates in it; who exactly is decided by the team captain (in rare cases, the top is used for drawing lots). The round is extremely rarely won by experts (for example, A. Kozlov in the 2008 final, before that by M. Potashev in 1997).
  9. Decisive round. In the event that a team of experts has earned 5 points in their favor, but would like to increase the result of the game to a score of 6:0 in their favor, the team can take the decisive round. In this case, the strongest expert, in the opinion of the team, remains at the table, after which a question is selected in a standard manner using a top, which the expert must answer without anyone’s help. In this case, a mandatory condition is that there be absolute silence in the room and a complete absence of discussion of the issue. This type of question helps a team advance to the season finals if the previous teams of the season played more successfully.

TV version of the game

Vladimir Voroshilov, the creator of the game and its leader for a long time.

The birthday of the TV game is considered to be September 4th. One game was held that day, according to different rules, according to which two families played against each other (as in the popular game “Lucky Chance”). The game consisted of two rounds, filmed at the home of each family. They got together for the sake of photography for the family archive.

The first questions were invented by V. Voroshilov himself, and later, when the game became popular, they began to accept questions from the audience. . It is known that bags of letters arrived every day, each of which had to be answered, the best questions selected, the accuracy of the facts presented checked, edited, prepared, if necessary, the necessary items. Of course, one person cannot do such work, and Voroshilov was helped by his wife Natalya Stetsenko, who headed the department of correspondence with viewers for many years.

Initially, there was no special name for the players, but in 1979 the term “connoisseur” appeared, this word has now become familiar to describe the participants in the game, the club is now usually called the “connoisseur club”.

The details of the game rules changed frequently, but the main prize was always books (which were hung on the Christmas tree during the final game) and a crystal owl.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the game changed from an “intellectual club” to an “intellectual casino” (although the location of the games did not change). The slogan of the game was the phrase “Intellectual casino is the only casino where you can make money with your own mind.”

Each question now has a certain “value”, which can be increased by placing the money you win on a certain playing field. Sponsors and lawyers appeared (Mikhail Barshchevsky). Since the experts have decided to stop playing for money, the value of the questions is determined using telephone voting by viewers. Since the year, the authors of questions to which the correct answer was not given receive payment in accordance with which of the unanswered questions their question was: the author of the first question not answered by the team receives 10 thousand rubles, the second - 20 thousand, and so on ; also, in the event of a defeat of a team of TV viewers in the first round, the losing TV viewer receives insurance of 10 thousand rubles, and each question not thrown (except for the 13th sector) receives compensation of 10 thousand rubles (in the case when a blitz or super blitz did not fall, the author of each blitz or super blitz question receives 10 thousand rubles). At the same time, in 2006-2007 they received 1 ruble for each vote “like the question” and -1 ruble for each vote “dislike the question”, which was more profitable (the last question also had a fixed rate of 60 thousand rubles).

After that, the game began to change, and these changes continue to this day. In 1991, a new sector appeared - zero (“zero”). If the pointer stopped on this field, then the presenter came out to the audience with three cards (later a single question was played), on which his own questions were written, and showed them to the team. He did this in his own manner, and once the players could not even understand where the introduction ended and the question began. Voroshilov called this version of the game “a casino game against experts.”

Many famous experts of the “What? Where? When?" took an active part in the filming of the television version of “Brain Ring”

In the television version of the game, pauses are provided mainly for the experts to rest. They come in two types:

  • Musical pause, when the team leaves the house in the direction of a stylized stage on which one of the stars (invited in advance) performs any of their own songs. Alternatively, it is also possible to invite a group or ensemble. Such a pause is announced by the leader after four rounds (with the exception of a score of 3:0).
  • Tea break, when the manager brings on a tray and places on the table six cups with already poured Ahmad Tea Limited Edition tea, as well as additional boxes of tea and sugar. Such a pause is announced by the leader after seven or eight rounds, depending on the progress of the game (naturally, if by that time none of the teams has won).

Live

A special feature of the game is that it takes place live. During the live broadcast, viewers can give answers using MTS phones. However, the cost of a message has increased from 5-6 cents (according to the tariff plan) to 10 rubles.

Music in a game show

The television game has become so popular that its music is now associated only with the game show. Some topics have gained enormous popularity and are used in local quizzes. For many people, these melodies, first heard in the game, remain forever associated with its atmosphere. The main melody heard in the game's intro is the introductory movement to Richard Strauss's symphonic poem Thus Spoke Zarathustra. In addition, at the beginning of the game, a fragment of Herman’s aria from the opera “The Queen of Spades” (“What is our life? A game!”) and other episodes from the same opera are heard. During the game between rounds, an arrangement of a fragment from “Rhapsody in Blue” by J. Gershwin, James Last’s composition “Ra-ta-ta” by the group “Rotations”, fragments of the songs “Crucified” and “Israelism” by the group Army of Lovers are sometimes played. At the end of the game, Saint-Saëns' symphonic poem "Dance of Death" performed by Ekseption is played.

Sports version

Unlike the television version of the game, the sports version remains unknown to most Russians, since there is practically no popularization of festivals and games - mainly because they are less spectacular than the television version, since in the sports version the viewer has practically no opportunity to watch game process.

The game is known within a certain movement, and a person gets there by chance, through his friends, acquaintances, an ad accidentally seen or an institute club, which, like KVN clubs, regularly hold games for students.

Famous game show experts

Alexander Druz

Many players, mainly the TV version players, were very popular in the Soviet Union, and later in Russia. The most outstanding ones receive various honorary prizes, such as crystal owl, title immortal player What? Where? When?, Red jacket. In some seasons, cars and large sums of money were received (mainly if there were famous sponsors).

The most famous and famous participants in this game:

  • Some bookmakers accept bets on the outcome of the game (recipient of the Crystal Owl, the score of the game, etc.), which indicates a lack of agreement and manipulation of the game results.
  • In the eighties, the video monitors located above the round table in the broadcast studio were Yunost color TVs, apparently the Ts-440 model, in red cases. In the nineties, they were replaced by foreign-made televisions, and currently LCD monitors are used.
  • In the early nineties, the program's management conducted an experiment in voting among viewers. A frequency meter, made on the basis of a DVK-2M computer, measured the frequency of the supply network. First, all viewers were asked to turn off their televisions, then only viewers voting for the first team, and then only viewers voting for the second team. The unusual method of voting was based on the fact that when the load on the power grid sharply decreases, the frequency of the current increases. The effectiveness of this method is questionable, since, firstly, power plants have automatic control systems that do not allow the frequency to “float” when the load changes beyond the established limits, and secondly, televisions of different models differ from each other in power consumption, so when you turn off the Rubin-714 TV, the load on the power grid will decrease by 250 W, and when you turn off the Yunost-406D TV - by only 30 W. These days, voting of this kind is carried out using SMS.

  • "What? Where? When?" Season 2008. Final of the year. 27/12/08 + ,
  • "WHAT? WHERE? WHEN?"- Spring series 2009. - Game one (04/04/2009) on Yandex.Video


On television you don’t often see programs of such a level as the intellectual casino “What? Where? When?” His games have been of constant interest for many decades. But even among intellectuals there are scandals and intrigues.

On March 5, 1950, Boris Oskarovich Burda, bard, connoisseur, and culinary specialist, was born. Among his other hobbies is visiting nudist beaches. Some members of the intellectual club "What? Where? When?" They have an explosive temperament, are distinguished by strange preferences, and sometimes even break the law. Ring gag, bare breasts, strippers, verbal altercations and accusations of rape... We present to your attention the most notorious scandals and intrigues of an intellectual casino.


Boris Burda owes increased media attention to his unusual hobby: going to a nudist beach.


“I was brought to my current beach almost twenty years ago. Then adherents of yoga, Eastern teachings, poets and creative people in general gathered there,” the expert recalled in an interview.


“It was indecent to behave differently from everyone else... Over time, I got so accustomed to the beach that they began to attract me to perform public duties. Sometimes some idiot from the provinces comes to the beach with a video camera. And he starts asking: where is the general, where is Prosecutor, where is Burda?"


Burda also said that at the beginning of his career as an “expert” he was subjected to real discrimination from the presenter. “Unfortunately, from the very beginning Voroshilov tried to pass me off as a person who knows a lot, but is very poor at thinking...


...Once at a press conference he was asked what intelligence is. He said something for a long time, and then suddenly pointed his finger at me and said: “In general, Boris, erudition interferes with intellect.” A year later, there is another press conference... Voroshilov is asked what is the difference between a simply educated person and a player in “What? Where? When?” And the grandfather answers again: the difference is like between Dvinyatin and Burda."


But members of the intellectual club Andrei Kozlov and Rovshan Askerov became famous for their explosive temperaments. One day they got into a verbal altercation right during a television broadcast of the game of the team that won the Crystal Atom prize.


Askerov furiously claimed that he saw Kozlov give a hint to the players at the table, after which, as an answer to the question, a version was given that was not even discussed at the table.


“Mr. presenter, there was a hint and it’s open. I will not remain silent under any circumstances. Mr. Kozlov, everyone else, and even me, saw it when you said the word “books”. It was, have the courage to admit,” said Rovshan Askerov.


The presenter did not see this, since the game managers did not pay attention to it, and therefore could not judge the dispute.


Kozlov called Askerov a scoundrel and compared him to the tiger from the sketch by Gennady Khazanov, who was not reported to. “And I won’t be silent here either. Rovshan, you’re a scoundrel. What can I do, you’re a scoundrel. Rovshan is just jealous that the guys are playing, but he’s not. Rovshan, I won’t talk to you anymore,” Kozlov said.


Shortly before this, Askerov had a row with Alexander Druz, the most recognizable “expert”. The stumbling block in this conflict was the tomato, the question about which Askerov’s team answered.


The players were given two salads - fruit and vegetable - and a tomato. They were asked to explain how British journalist Miles Kington used these dishes to explain the difference between knowledge and wisdom.


The presenter considered Alena Blinova’s answer incorrect, but still awarded the team a point. Many experts present were outraged by this decision.


The friend even stated that Askerov, who came to Blinova’s defense, lost his reputation in front of millions of viewers, to which he retorted: “A friend can go to hell!”


“I don’t care at all about the opinion of Master Alexander Abramovich Druz regarding my reputation, because my opinion regarding his reputation is that he has no reputation at all. So what? I don’t care at all! The person who changed the answer for the sake of a point has no right to me say nothing at all. I saw their opinion in the grave! " - he said.


Askerov had a conflict with Maxim Potashev last year, but not during the game, but on Facebook. Rovshan posted a post in which he expressed his displeasure that the program “What? Where? When?” not broadcast live.


At the same time, the “expert” addressed his claims to Maxim Potashev, to which the latter hastened to respond in the comments.


Maxim did not mince words.


Team captain Alena Povysheva attracted everyone's attention not with her scandalous behavior, but with her original decoration.


Alena appeared on the show wearing a leather jewelry reminiscent of a gag ring for BDSM.


Internet users found similar accessories in sex shops. In BDSM, they are put on the head, and the ring is placed in the mouth to prevent the jaw from closing.


A lot of memes and comments about this appeared on the network: “Alena Povysheva was in such a hurry to the game “What? Where? When?" that I didn’t have time to take off my BDSM choker."


Another scandal erupted around the political views of the player Ilya Novikov, a lawyer involved in the case of Nadezhda Savchenko.


The host and producer of the show, Boris Kryuk, in an interview with Moskovsky Komsomolets, said that the player had to make a choice in this case.


“For all my good attitude towards Ilya, he had to first choose what is more important for him – the Club or a political career, and then deal with Savchenko. Understand, if you defend Savchenko and you are a “ChGK” player, then that means “ChGK” - also for Savchenko. “ChGK” is outside of politics. And if you decide to get involved in politics, you need to say: thank you, I will do this,” Kryuk commented.


After this conflict, Novikov really did not participate in the spring series of games, but this was explained by the fact that he did not have the opportunity.


Singer Ani Lorak, who represented Ukraine at Eurovision in 2008, also performed in front of “experts” during a break in the program.


The performance was not without embarrassment: Anya’s lush breasts jumped out of her tight dress, which pleased both the audience and the players of the “What? Where? When?” club.


In another episode of "What? Where? When?" a couple of dancers performed a candid dance to Serge Gainsbourg’s hit “Je t’aime… moi non plus” in front of connoisseurs.


Moreover, the brave dancers had to perform the number at a temperature of almost -20°C, which can be seen from the steam emanating from the stripper’s mouth


When the “musical break” was close to completion, the girl exposed her breasts in front of the unsuspecting “experts.”


The intellectual club players demonstrated a variety of reactions.


In 2007, the court sentenced the player "What? Where? When?" Georgiy Zharkov to 4.5 years of suspended imprisonment.


According to the prosecution, Zharkov raped a 19-year-old resident of Nizhny Novgorod, who suffered from mental retardation.


The “expert” met a guy looking for an overnight stay at the Vladimirsky station and invited him to his apartment.


There, Georgy kept the guy locked up for several days, forcing him to perform oral sex.


In the end, the young man managed to escape through the balcony of the tenth floor, making a rope out of clothes and bed linen, but fell around the fifth. Fortunately, he did not suffer any serious injuries from the fall.


Georgy Zharkov himself never admitted his guilt. On February 28, 2016, the “expert” died after an illness.


In the 90s, in addition to "What? Where? When?" the same “experts” participated in another similar show called “Brain Ring”.


It was in one of the episodes of the program that the emotional Rovshan Askerov truly lost his temper for the first time when the presenter counted his essentially correct answers as incorrect.


Askerov literally “barked” at Andrei Kozlov, and young Anatoly Wasserman also came under his arm.


At the same time, a certain magnificent lady from the team tried to stop him with Askerov’s kisses. It was after this release that it became clear to everyone that it was better not to mess with Rovshan.


But the legendary presenter "What? Where? When?" In the 70s, Vladimir Voroshilov hosted a program called “Auction,” in which Soviet goods were “promoted.”


In one of the episodes, the Minister of the Fishing Industry Ishkov personally rolled an amber necklace into a can of crabs and promised that tomorrow this can would appear on one of the shelves.


All the canned crab was sold out the next morning, but the then guardian of morality, Mikhail Suslov, was outraged by this episode: the program was closed, and Voroshilov was fired, forbidden to appear on television for a long time.

Buying a higher education diploma means securing a happy and successful future for yourself. Nowadays, without documents of higher education you will not be able to get a job anywhere. Only with a diploma can you try to get into a place that will bring not only benefits, but also pleasure from the work performed. Financial and social success, high social status - this is what possessing a higher education diploma brings.

Immediately after finishing their last school year, most of yesterday's students already firmly know which university they want to enroll in. But life is unfair, and situations are different. You may not get into your chosen and desired university, and other educational institutions seem unsuitable for a variety of reasons. Such a “trips” in life can knock any person out of the saddle. However, the desire to become successful does not go away.

The reason for the lack of a diploma may also be the fact that you were unable to take a budget place. Unfortunately, the cost of education, especially at a prestigious university, is very high, and prices are constantly creeping up. These days, not all families can pay for their children’s education. So a financial issue can also cause a lack of educational documents.

The same problems with money can become a reason for yesterday’s high school student to go to work in construction instead of university. If family circumstances suddenly change, for example, the breadwinner passes away, there will be nothing to pay for education, and the family needs to live on something.

It also happens that everything goes well, you manage to successfully enter a university and everything is fine with your studies, but love happens, a family is formed and you simply don’t have enough energy or time to study. In addition, much more money is needed, especially if a child appears in the family. Paying for tuition and supporting a family is extremely expensive and you have to sacrifice your diploma.

An obstacle to obtaining higher education may also be the fact that the university chosen for the specialty is located in another city, perhaps quite far from home. Studying there can be hampered by parents who do not want to let their child go, the fears that a young man who has just graduated from school may experience in front of an unknown future, or the same lack of necessary funds.

As you can see, there are a huge number of reasons for not getting the required diploma. However, the fact remains that without a diploma, counting on a well-paid and prestigious job is a waste of time. At this moment, the realization comes that it is necessary to somehow resolve this issue and get out of the current situation. Anyone who has time, energy and money decides to go to university and receive a diploma through the official means. Everyone else has two options - not to change anything in their lives and remain to vegetate on the outskirts of fate, and the second, more radical and courageous - to buy a specialist, bachelor's or master's degree.
