To date, the CBSC has received 55 complaints about this program and this decision deals with four of them, from three complainants. These three complainants identified nine different episodes of the program aired on V between March 5 and September 28, 2012 which, in their opinion, are in breach of CAB broadcast codes. They pointed out, among other things, that certain contests were unfair or that the solutions could not be explained, such as the following three games: [translations] “How many circles are there in the image?”, “Add all the numbers in all the triangles” and “Add all the figures and numbers in the image”. At the end of each contest, the host reveals the answer on the screen or the total if the game involves calculations; however the complainants are of the view that even with the answers or method of calculation displayed on the screen, it is often difficult, and sometimes impossible, to reconstruct the underlying reasoning to the solution, given that the methodology used is far from clear. (A more detailed description of the games can be found in Appendix A, in French only).
