''Figure It Out'' is an American children's panel game show that airs on Nickelodeon. The original series, hosted by Summer Sanders, ran for four seasons from July 7, 1997 to January 12, 2000. The revival of the show, hosted by Jeff Sutphen, ran from June 11, 2012 to July 16, 2013. The series was originally recorded at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. The revival episodes are filmed on stage 19 at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nickelodeon Figure It Out: Figure This Out )〕 Children with special skills or unique achievements compete as contestants on the show while a panel of four Nickelodeon celebrities try to guess the predetermined phrase that describes the contestant's talent. The series is a loose adaptation of ''What's My Line?'' and ''I've Got a Secret'', both established panel shows created by Mark Goodson and Bill Todman. Shortly after the series aired its last first-run episode, ''Figure It Out'' began airing repeats on Nick GAS until the network ceased at the end of 2007 (2009 on Dish Network). Several episodes of the Sanders-hosted series have also aired as part of ''The '90s Are All That,'' a 1990s-oriented rerun block that airs on TeenNick, in 2012. In 2013, Sutphen confirmed via Twitter that no new episodes of the revival of ''Figure It Out'' will be produced.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=jeff sutphen on Twitter )〕 ==Gameplay== Each episode has two sets of three timed rounds (originally all 60 seconds in length; currently, rounds two and three are played for 45 seconds), in which the panel takes turns asking yes-or-no questions to try to guess the contestant's talent. Each time a panelist mentions a word that is part of the phrase that describes the secret talent, the word is turned over on a game board displaying the puzzle. This game board was referred to as Billy the Answer Head during the original series run and is known simply as the "It" Board in the show's current adaptation. This game board shows which words of the phrase are guessed, along with blanks denoting words that the panel didn't solve. Prepositions and articles, such as "of" and "an," are provided automatically. During the very early episodes of the show, synonyms of words that were on the board were accepted by the judges (e.g.: A panelist revealing the word "song" by saying the word "carol" and another episode featured a panelist revealing the word "box" by saying the word "bag"). This was quickly changed with panelist having to say the exact word in a contestant's talent in order for that word to be revealed on the board. The contestant wins a prize after each round that their talent remains unguessed. The prize for winning the third round is a trip. In Season 1 prizes consisted mainly of leftover props from then-defunct Nickelodeon shows such as ''All That,'' ''Legends of the Hidden Temple'' and ''Global Guts.'' Merchandise prizes (such as a Nintendo 64) and gift cards for stores including Kids Foot Locker, Toys 'R' Us, and Loew's began to appear as prizes during later seasons. If Round 3 ends with at least one word left unrevealed, each panelist takes one final guess as to what the contestant's talent is (any correct words given during the final guess are revealed, as during the game). The game ends when a panelist guesses the secret talent or if no panelist guesses the secret talent correctly after the "last guess" stage. During each Round, the panelists receive one clue as a hint to one of the words of the secret phrase. The clue usually takes the form of physical objects – such as dates to indicate a clue about calendars – sounds (rarely used), the clue-cano (seasons 4-6), featured messy clues erupting out of the clue boxes all over the panel, making them just as messy as a sliming, especially in the Sutphen era which made the panel cautious when opening the clue boxes) or pantomime (the "Charade Brigade" (Season 1-4), "Clue Force 3" (Seasons 5-6), usually two or three cast members that act out a word from the phrase during Round 3) with "Clue Force 3" pictionary was sometimes used instead of pantomime. At the end of the game, after the secret talent is revealed, the contestant demonstrates or displays their skill and discusses it with the host and panel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Figure It Out」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
