Belarusian expert gets a crystal owl in Ukranian "What? Where? When?" game
In the final game, Lisitsyn's team in which Euroradio's journalist Pavel Svyardlou plays defeated the viewers 6:5. The crystal owl went to the Belarusian.
The game wasn't easy for the experts. They answered the first question correctly but then gave four inaccurate answers in a row. They were rescued from the score 1:5 by the host of the game Alyaksandr Androsau and defender of the viewers' interests Krszysztof Polak. They accepted a correct answer which the team failed to explain properly.
Lisitsyn's team managed to equalize — 4:4. However, they lost the next question. When the score was 4:5 Pavel Svyardlou answered a complicated question on why the Islanders who do ancient cropping take a sack stuffed with soft straw with them. After that the experts easily found an answer to the question asked by Russia's former Minister of Culture Mikhail Shvydkoy and won the game.
