Rules for using lifelines (cheats)

After choosing one the classmates the contestant can make use of the lifelines in three ways. After every two questions, the contestant must choose another classmate.

Taank Jhaank gives the contestant an opportunity to review his current teammate’s answer before submitting his own.

Nakal means the contestant may not opt to answer the question at all, but rather, let his current teammate answer for him. Unlike the Taank Jhaank cheat, in this instance, the contestant cannot reject his teammate’s answer and has to go with it.

Bachao, this cheat is triggered automatically if the contestant gives a wrong answer. If the contestant’s current partner turns out to have the correct answer, the contestant is then saved.

The only instance in which two cheats can be used on the same question is if the contestant opts for Taank Jhaank, rejects the kid’s correct answer, gives a wrong answer himself, and is saved by the kid through Bachao.

The contestant cannot use the kids help for the 11th and the final question even if he hasn’t used any of his lifelines.
