Đi tìm ẩn số

Đi tìm ẩn số (literally translated as "Find the Unknowns") is the version of the Deal or No Deal television show on HTV 7 in Vietnam. It premiered on June 19, 2005, hosted by Thanh Bạch.[1]

The set of the show was originally similar to the Australian version with 20 cases and the top prize of 50,000,000 Vietnamese đồng (US$2,400).[1] Later the format followed the US version, with 26 cases held by models. The prizes range from 1,000 đồng (5¢ US) to 100,000,000 đồng (US$4,800). Like the original Dutch version, there is a quiz round, but it is shorter. The quiz round is not played in celebrity editions.

The top prize was won by Vietnamese actor Lê Bình in October 2011.[2] On July 15, 2012, non-celebrity contestant Minh Trang won the top prize as well.[3]

Gameplay

Round 1

5 questions, each with 4 possible answers, are given to 26 players. All players are given 5 seconds to answer each question using keypads. If a player answers correctly, they receive one point for each contestant who answered incorrectly. All players who choose a wrong answer receive nothing. The two highest scorers at the end of the round move on to the next round.

Round 2

The two remaining contestants face each other at a single showdown-style podium with two buzzers on it. They are given 5 seconds to decide whether or not to press the button. If a player buzzed, that player receives 3,000,000₫ (US$144) and the other one moves on to the final round. If no one buzzed, the host will ask a math question. The one who buzzes first and calculated correctly proceeds to the final round.

Final round

The final round is the briefcase-picking game of Deal or No Deal and the format followed the American version, except for a significant change: there are no final swaps or counter-offers. The value of each briefcase are as follows:
