Lifelines

 * University - three students specializing in various fields of knowledge, offering their version of the answer. It looks like Three Wise Men.
 * Audience - The audience raised plaques, which indicate the number of the answer, which they consider the best. It looks like Ask the Audience.
 * Cards - participant can choose one of four closed playing cards. Ace removes a wrong answer. Deuce is two wrong answers. When choosing a triple cleaned all the wrong answers, leaving only the faithful. If a player finds a king, then options are unchanged. Partially similar to 50:50.
 * Jump the Question (like Shuffle format of U.S. version) - party may skip a question if he don't knows the answer. He could use this lifeline three times per game.

Before the R$1 000 000 question contestant loses all lifelines, and he has 20 seconds to decide - if he wants to continue or to stop. If he give incorrect answer to the final question, go home nothing.
