On all versions of Russian Roulette outside of the U.S., U.K., the Portuguese, and the Polish version in the season two, there are also displays of the contestants' heart rates on the screen (examples include Russia's, Poland's (season one), and Hong Kong's versions), and most versions even have the contestants themselves asking questions to their opponents. There is also a camera underneath each of the trapdoors to catch footage of the contestant dropping from another angle. Some may also have a maximum time limit of 15 seconds instead of 10 to answer questions. Polish version have a 30 seconds to answer the question in season one and 20 seconds in season two. Most versions of the show (except for the versions in the U.S., U.K., and India) run for an hour rather than a half-hour.

Famous quotes containing the word versions:
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
