They had to wear costumes and speak like the characters they had chosen. They had to introduce themselves, say their age, their hometown, why they were taking part in the race and what they would do if they won the money of the price.)

• While presentations were being filmed, other students played Baseball, Kick Ball and Slaughter( contestants are made to play 4 against 4. They have to stand on their knees within a rectangle and try to score a goal on the opposite side by touching the ground with the ball. Students have to prevent this by pushing their opponents out of the field).

• Before dinner counsellors get together with the students they had selected for each job (Magazine interviews, sports assistants, shop assistants, entertainers, servers (writing menues), TV hosts to instruct them about what they would be doing later.
