Format

Each episode centered around unusual, provocative, or humorous questions, such as “Does a dachshund recognize its brother?” or “What is the best way to prepare human flesh for consumption?”. These questions were explored through interviews, filmed experiments, and discussions with an expert panel nicknamed the ''Super‑Femman''. The panel traditionally included five specialists: a political scientist, a psychologist, a historian, a physician, and a physicist. The show also featured a recurring light-hearted science segment called ''Veckans macka'' ("Sandwich of the Week"). [2]
