the lions share is an emission diffused on France 2 during the summer 2007 and presented by Nagui. Initially envisaged to be only diffused the weekend with 18:50, of the additional emissions were turned to also allow a diffusion in week 19:05 from August 20th to 31st 2007.

Rules

Selection

There are 140 candidates. All these candidates must answer questions of general culture. There are two handles of five questions. Each question proposes four possibilities of answer and the candidates have 15 seconds to answer it. All the candidates having answered the question just can pass to the following question. It is also possible to pass a question, but a candidate can have recourse to this operation only once in all the emission. After the fourth question of the sleeve, the remaining candidates must answer a last question. This one is paramount because it is fastest which will reach the semi-final. Once the fastest candidate is selected, one second sleeve of five questions is then organized on the same principle. All those which had been mistaken with the first sleeve can again play.

The semi-final

The semi-final opposes the two players selected thanks to their speed. The goal is to reach 3 points before its adversary. When a question is put, four proposals are given: The two candidates cannot give the same answer. it is fastest which gives the answer then. The other candidate must thus, if it is slower, hope that the faster candidate was mistaken because it cannot choose the same answer. If the two candidates are mistaken, nobody has the point. That or that which reaches 3 points reaches the finale and gains 1.000 € no matter what it arrives finally. The loser sets out again with a voyage.

The final

Finally, the 139 candidates losers play again (including the loser of the semi-final) to try to cut " the share of the lion". They are opposed to the finalist in a questionnaire of 10 questions with four possibilities of answer. Time limits ago to answer the questions, however the seizure of the answer of the finalist prevents the public from answering. Each good answer of the finalist brings back 1.000 additional €, which allows a maximum profit of 11.000€. However, the profit is reduced by the percentage of people in the public who have the number of good answers of the finalist or more.

Example: The candidate has 7 good answers, therefore 7.000 €. 20% of the public had 7 good answers or more, therefore:

• the finalist gains 7.000 - (7 000 * 20/100) + 1.000 = 5.600 + 1.000 = 6.600 €.
• a person of the public belonging to the 20% gains (7 000 * 20/100)/(140 * 20/100) = 1.400/28 = 50 €.

If the finalist does not give any good answer and that one only person gives 10 good answers in the public, it gains 10.000€

In the emission

At the time of certain questions, it may be that only one person chooses a false proposal. This one is thus made know of the public, is made a little scoff by Nagui and sometimes, it is shown small a " exploit" of the candidate in question.
