5:5 Game (Same Picture Hunt)
After initial phase of questioning first round of the main match starts. Players have to ask 10 guests series of questions that will result in 5 "yes" and 5 "no" responses. Player who have achieved more 5:5 results win the game.
Kyungran mostly uses biographical info — ages, professions, blood types and birth dates. She gets screwed by one woman who gave her birthdate on certificate which is actually different from her actual birthday.
Sangmin relies on his observational skills, looking at guests' appearance before him and asking questions like "are you wearing socks/belt right now?", "are you crossing your legs?".
Jinho starts with biographical info too, but during second round of questioning he picks five guests and tells them his younger brother's name, calls them pretty/stupid and touches with them with the backs of their hands. He then asks "do i know Jinho brother's name?", "did Jinho call me pretty?" and so on. This gives him reliable 5:5 results and he wins the game.
Kyungran and Sangmin are now playing Deathmatch to determine who goes to finals and who gets eliminated. It's Same Picture Hunt where two players have a 4x4 board with numbered tiles that have various shapes on the other side.
2 chips representing 2 players are put on a converyor belt that has the same shapes from 4x4 board in a line. Players then take turns opening tiles — if it's the same shape that is on the right of their chip — they advance. If they didn't guess — conveyor belt rolls back until it eventually drops player's chip on the floor which means that this player lost.
The game is similar to "pairs game", requiring memorization. Sangmin cracks and forgets which tiles are where, and despite initial advantage (due to more garnets) Sangmin loses and Kyungran advances to finals.
Tropes:
- Death Glare: when Kyungran receives 6:4 because of birthday/"date of birth" confusion, she looks at the quests trying to figure out who was the liar, with added signature lightning "Pierce!" special effect added by producers.
- Gender-Equal Ensemble: averted on purpose with guests. There are 6 women and 4 men to avoid the simplest solution to separate them into 5:5 by gender.
- Height Angst: when Jinho asks guests if it's okay to ask them about their heights, because they might be sensitive about it, one guest notes that the only one who has short-man-complex here is Jinho himself.
- Insistent Terminology: because Kyungran asked for "date of birth" one girl gave her date of birth on official documents. But in the match Kyungran wrote "birthday", so that girl answers with her actual birthday in mind creating discrepancy.
- Older Than They Look: Jinho's single mistake in the main match is getting some of the women ages wrong:
- Record Needle Scratch: when Sangmin gets one right in the Deathmatch, Theme Music Power-Up starts implying a come back. But then Sangmin says that he forgot all other letters and theme music is interrupted by needle scratch.
