same time, the host would ask the captain to confirm the team's response. A 'beat the buzzer' segment and later a video-clip round completed the contest. In 'beat the buzzer', penalties applied for incorrectly answered questions. In cases of ties, captains would pick tie-breaker packets for their team to answer. State contestants usually received Sheaffer or Parker pen sets as mementos, with additional prizes (often dictionaries or encyclopedias) awarded to the winning school. In the original series, cash prizes of A$500 ($2,732 to $6,505 in 2022 terms) to each team member were awarded to the state team final winners. National prizes differed but were of a similar financial value. In 1971, the national championship team was flown to Los Angeles and toured Hollywood. The pilot and first two years of the Australian series were recorded by Network Ten, on Saturdays, at the North Ryde TEN10 studios in Sydney NSW and also in Victoria. The first two NSW seasons 1968 and 1969 were hosted by John Bailey, and both series finals were won by Marist Brothers, Eastwood. The show moved to the Seven Network in 1970 and was recorded at the ATN 7 Mobbs Lane studios at Epping, New South Wales, with a new host, Andrew Harwood. Marist Brothers Eastwood again made it to the 1970 series final but were defeated on that occasion. In 1970, an "Its Academic Challenge" series, being an interstate contest involving all of the three teams from each state that competed in that state's championship round, was also recorded. In 1971, a team from Inala State High School in Queensland won the It's Academic Challenge final. Revived format The 2008 version features six new schools every week, with the winning schools to reappear later in the season for semifinals and grand finals. Each individual episode features five teams (green, red, blue, yellow and purple), each made up of six members from each school. There is a new feature called the Clean Sweep; it only occurs when a team answers all questions correctly in the first round. A correct answer following the Clean Sweep will award the team with 20 points. The question rounds consist of a series of five, aimed at one team only. Players are given five seconds to answer, or longer for a spelling question, and may confer amongst themselves before giving an answer. As in the original series, if two students answer differently
