A fight over money returned to the air after almost 20 years. From the beginning of October, viewers can follow the teams’ struggles as they fight for the title of Champions and valuable prizes. This time, the competitors were challenged by a mathematical question that every upper primary school student should be able to solve.

A row over money: a question about the bun
A roll with ham costs PLN 6.40. Ham is PLN 6 more expensive than a roll. How much does a roll cost?
The champions, who eliminated the previous winners in the previous episode, initially ranged between 20 and 40 gr. However, they asked for a hint and were given the following options:
- 10 groszy
- 20 groszy
- 30 cents
- 40 groszy
What is the correct answer?
If a roll is PLN 6 more expensive than a ham, then the ham costs PLN 6.20 and the roll is PLN 20.

A Math Question That Rolls: Let’s Get Cheeky!
It’s back again, folks! A fight over money, returning from the grave after almost 20 years, like that uncle who shows up at family gatherings uninvited and a tad too merry. Yes, grab your calculators, because starting October, viewers are once again glued to the screen watching teams duke it out for the title of Champions, all in the name of some valuable prizes. And let’s face it, it wouldn’t be a proper competition without a smattering of math that’s perfectly pitched for the upper primary school set.
A Row Over Money: The Roller Coaster of a Bun
Here comes the curveball, folks. A roll with ham, costing PLN 6.40, comes with a quirky twist. The ham, bless it, is PLN 6 more expensive than the roll. How much does that darn roll cost? You’d think this was the premise for a new Bond movie with a title like The Roll That Could!
Initial guesses from our esteemed champions ranged between 20 and 40 groszy. Honestly, I’ve seen better answering from my house plants. Some bright spark, clearly blinded by the stakes (and probably the ham), had to ask for a hint—which, in this case, was the four options:
- 10 groszy
- 20 groszy
- 30 cents
- 40 groszy
So, What’s the Correct Answer?
Drum roll, please… The answer is PLN 20. Yes, if a roll is PLN 6 more expensive than ham, then ham actually costs PLN 6.20. And suddenly, I feel less like a comedian and more like a math teacher at a failing school.
This evidently simple problem sent the champions into a tailspin, akin to a cat trying to understand the concept of a laser pointer. Watching them piece it together was educational—like a life lesson on the importance of asking for help before diving off the deep end!
It’s truly fascinating that something as mundane as a roll and ham can stir up such drama. Picture it—teams bickering over math like children squabbling over the last cookie before dinner. Will they fight tooth and nail for a prize worth more than their collective IQ levels? Only time will tell.
As you tune in for this thrilling escapade of numbers and snacks, remember: it’s just mathematics, not rocket science! But then again, isn’t that what makes it so deliciously fun? Grab your popcorn, and let’s revel in the joy of watching competitions based on the most primal of human instincts: the pursuit of cash, wrapped up in a delicious roll. Mmm… IQ served on a platter!
