Instructions for the task - Additions task


{% endblock %} {% block content %}

  • Please carefully read the instructions below explaining the task performed by the performers for deciders.

  • In each round, the performer had 45 seconds to perform as many additions as possible out of five for their assigned decider.

  • Each addition consisted of three three-digit numbers. One example is below:

  • 216 + 357 + 489 = 'enter here'

  • The the total number of questions that the performer answered correctly (out of the five) determined the lottery (or cartwheel) that got assigned to the decider. This lottery led to either one of three outcomes (x,y,z) where x,y and z can change in each round. An example is given below.

  • Number of correct answers by performer led to Lottery earned by the Decider
    0 correct answers --> with 20% probability the earnings are ₹500;
    with 30% probability the earnings are 300;
    with 50% the earnings are ₹0.
    1 correct answer --> with 30% probability the earnings are ₹500;
    with 40% probability the earnings are ₹300;
    with 30% the earnings are ₹0.
    2 correct answers --> with 40% probability the outcome is ₹500;
    with 50% probability the outcome is ₹300;
    with 10% the outcome is ₹0.
    And so on.

  • For better understanding, consider the second row of the table above. It means that if the performer solves one correct addition, then the decider gets assigned a lottery where there is a 30% chance that the he/she earns ₹500, a 40% chance that the he/she earns ₹300, and a 70% chance that he/she earns ₹0. For further clarity please look at the picture below:

  • Remember that the performer had 45 seconds to solve a set of five additions in each round

  • We will show you the earnings from the lottery (for example, in the table above, it will be either ₹0, ₹300 or ₹500) for the decider and then ask you some questions related to it for each of the 12 rounds.
