Competition format and key lessons

1. Starting Round

All contestants answer six multiple-choice questions, with 20 seconds per question. Correct answers earn points; incorrect answers do not deduct points. Topics include chemistry, English, civics, probability, poetry, and Vietnamese history.

Examples of the knowledge tested include:

• The electron configuration of Al³⁺ corresponds to aluminum’s position in period 3, group 3A.
• The probability of drawing a red ball from a box containing 20 red and 20 blue balls is 0.5.
• The missing phrase in a poem by Anh Thơ is “áo thắm.”
• The reform proposals to the Nguyễn court were associated with Nguyễn Trường Tộ.

2. Challenge Round

Each contestant has one minute to answer six questions. They may skip a question but cannot return to it. Correct answers earn 20 points; wrong answers do not deduct points.

Questions cover science, mathematics, literature, economics, and general knowledge. Explanations during the round clarify that:

• The difference between two opposite vectors of length 4 has length 8.
• According to the program’s explanation, magnesium fires should not be extinguished with dry ice.
• The basic elements of a market are goods, money, buyers, and sellers.
• An equilateral triangle has three axes of symmetry.
• Money used in exchanges between countries performs the function of world currency.

Minh Trí answers three questions correctly, earning 60 points in this round. Việt Hoàng answers two correctly, earning 40 points.

3. Speed Round

Contestants choose from four question tiles. Each question is worth 20 points, with 20 seconds to answer. If the selected contestant cannot answer, the others may buzz in. A correct answer earns the question’s points; a wrong buzz-in answer costs 10 points.

Contestants can also buzz in to identify a hidden background image. A correct answer before a hint is worth 40 points; after a hint, it is worth 30.

Questions include the name of an early Vietnamese history book, a patriotic Nguyễn-dynasty king, and a revolutionary historical site in Cam Lộ. The program identifies the background image as Tân Tường, associated with King Hàm Nghi and the Cần Vương movement.

The round also discusses the Tân Tường silkworm-rearing house, where one of the first three Communist Party branches in Quảng Trị was established in 1930. A question about the 1885 fall of Huế connects the date to an annual commemoration held by residents of Huế.

4. Conquest Round

Six questions are open to all contestants, with 20 seconds to think. The first contestant to buzz in earns 30 points for a correct answer. If that contestant is wrong, a second contestant may answer for 20 points. Wrong answers cost 10 points.

Questions cover science, geography, law, English, and art. The program’s explanations include:

• Water can spread burning gasoline or oil because those fuels float on water.
• In the iodine question, chlorine reacts with potassium iodide. The judges explain that excess chlorine can further react with iodine, so no blue starch–iodine color remains.
• The volatile weather of the central United States is attributed to its terrain and the meeting of different air masses.
• In adult proportions, the eyes are located approximately halfway between the top of the head and the chin.

Results and correction

• Võ Minh Trí wins first place with 160 points and advances to the next round.
• Lê Việt Hoàng places second with 100 points.
• The final announcement initially gives Bảo Ngọc and Kim Anh 70 points each.
• A correction at the end explains that Kim Anh’s Speed Round answer should not have been accepted. The correct title of the history book compiled by Lê Văn Hưu is Đại Việt sử ký, not Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư. Her score is therefore reduced by 20 points, from 70 to 50. The program says the correction does not change her placing.
• The program acknowledges the judging and verification error and says the organizers will strengthen their review process.

The episode also includes promotional segments for pepper and fertilizer products. It credits Quảng Trị Radio and Television Station and the Quảng Trị Department of Education and Training as organizers, with sponsorship from VNPT Quảng Trị and Quảng Trị Battery Joint Stock Company.
