Think Tank is an Australian television quiz show based on the British program of the same name.
[1] The Think Tank is made up of people from across Australia with various backgrounds and occupations,[2] and who share an interest in quizzing.
The phrase, "Shut the gate, kill the goat, dance like a pagan" (commonly shortened to "Shut the gate") is sometimes used, similar to the phrase "Lock it in", from rival game show Millionaire Hot Seat, when selecting an answer.
Some contestants have accidentally said "Lock it in" by mistake, leading to joking ridicule from the host.
If a Think Tank panellist is chosen, the contestant has twenty seconds (represented by a burning fuse connected to the brain symbol on a screen behind the host) to answer the question before the brain explodes.
The remaining contestant is asked a question that none of the Think Tankers were able to answer correctly before the show.
