Challenging Times
The programme used a quizbowl format similar to that of "University Challenge" in the United Kingdom ( the only difference is that the starter questions are worth five points , as opposed to ten on "University Challenge" ) , which is itself a licensed version of the College Bowl format popular in the United States .
