Get smart and win a decoder

February 8th

DSTV’S SaffronTV is set to air the Indian version of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? — hosted by Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan — this week.

The first episode of Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain? will be screened on Friday at 7.30pm. The show features contestants vying for a whopping R10-million in prize money.

New episodes will be broadcast on Wednesday and Friday evenings on channel 456 at 7.30pm.

Other shows that will feature in the new-look schedule include The Rise and Rise of Shahrukh Khan — on Sundays at 6.30pm, Main Miss India on Tuesday at 7.30pm, Italia Khana on Thursdays at 6pm and Maximum Style , Monday to Friday at 6.30pm.

The Sunday Times Extra and SaffronTV are giving away a DStv decoder each to two lucky readers. The prizes include installation vouchers but winners will have to pay monthly subscriptions. Readers will have to answer two questions, the first of which appears this week.

Today’s question is: who is the host of the Indian version of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?

E-mail both your answers — this week and next week’s — with the subject line “SaffronTV” to kznextra@sundaytimes.co.za by no later than 12pm on Tuesday February 17. Only one e-mail entry per person will be allowed. Look out for the second question in next week’s edition.
