17 Meter

By | July 8, 2012

So, amongst all of last night’s excitement, did anyone watch 17 Meter? Apparently dentistry was involved.

    I forgot to record it but I did record the morning repeat. If I feel better this afternoon I might watch it.

    Just found out Die Perfekte Minute is back on Friday evenings if there is a naughty feed around for non-satellite folk. I noticed on Wikipedia they’ve chopped the money tree down to seven games.

    I watched some, but had to leave before the alleged dentistry bit.

    It played out very Team Schlag den Raab-like, with question 1 being worth 100 euros, question 2 worth 200 euros, and so on up to question 16 for 1600; presumably if one team hit that “over half” mark, they won, although I couldn’t stick around long enough to see that. However, unlike SdR, each game was played twice, once with an easier run to the buzzer (“zart”), then once with more obstacles thrown in (“hart”). Easy was worth 100, hard was worth 200, then a new easy game for 300, hard for 400, and so on.

    Game one: Doing that sort of “spider crawl” between two long vertical plexiglas panes to reach the buzzer. Lose your grip, and you fall to the ground.
    Zart: A straight race to the buzzer, no obstacles added. Surprisingly, both players gave up from exhaustion, so the 100 euros wasn’t awarded to anyone.
    Hart: Some low barriers were added, meaning they had to stay higher up to get across.

    Game two: Racing to the buzzer using modified office chairs powered by fire extinguishers, one on each arm.
    Zart: A straight-line path to the buzzer.
    Hart: Barriers were put in the path, meaning they had to weave left and right a couple times before getting to the buzzer.

    Game three: Cross to the buzzer via Total Wipeout Writ Small rotating planks.
    Zart: Two (maybe three?) rotating planks to reach the buzzer, with islands in between them.
    Hart: High beams were added over the rotating planks to act as stationary sweeper bars.

    And that’s all I saw.
