Lucky 52 (Simplified Chinese: 幸运52) is a variety show on CCTV-2, hosted by Li Yong.
The contestant had up to 3 chances to get help from the primary school students by using the "cheats": 参考 (peek), 借用 (copy) and 双保险 (save), but if the contestant answers correctly by using the "cheats", no prize would be awarded for that question but he/she could continue playing.
If the contestant answered incorrectly, he/she couldn't continue playing and would win nothing ("flunk out").
From January 2008, the contestant's performance was calculated in marks instead of money amount in order to make the game more similar to the examinations in school.
Then a number of cases would be eliminated, that number equals to number of correct answers of the contestant in "Lucky Classroom" (for example, the contestant who answered 4 questions correctly in "Lucky Classroom" could eliminates 4 lucky cases), but the cases contain the smallest and largest values would not be eliminated.
