The first preliminary round, which includes all eight contestants, is a speed round, which entails competing in mini challenges back to back, those challenges which encompass all six areas of intelligence. The two contestants with the highest score move onto the final four, the two contestants with the lowest score being automatically eliminated. The middle four contestants move to the second preliminary round, where in pairs of two, the contestants will compete in more mini challenges, with the first to win three of those mini challenges within each pairing also moving to the final four. Those final four then compete in six standard challenges, again each testing a different area of intelligence. Challenge 1, testing visual, has the contestants answering numerical questions about a group of about twenty eclectic people crossing a crosswalk. Challenge 2, testing musical, has the contestants performing karaoke in a randomly chosen style using randomly chosen lyrics, with guest Measha Brueggergosman judging their performances. Challenge 3, testing linguistic, requires the contestants to come up with as many words within a given parameter. Challenge 4, testing logic, entails placing three mirrors in a maze to redirect a laser shone through the maze to hit five preset targets. Challenge 5, testing social, requires the contestants to make a thirty second speech on the rationale for moving the Canadian capital to one of four randomly chosen cities, with guest Bob Rae judging the speeches. And challenge 6, testing physical, has the contestants building pyramids using plastic cups, those pyramids which must be deconstructed in the same order built. The two with the highest combined score over the six challenges moves onto the final super gauntlet, testing all six intelligences in one race, the winner who will be crowned Canada's Smartest Person.
