Are you man - or woman - enough to take on the machine?

Who knows you best – your nearest and dearest… or a computer?! TV3 is looking for contestants for its brand new game show The Algorithm, the ultimate game show when it comes to man versus machine.

Playing for big money in each game, a small group of family and friends will try to predict the preferences of a loved one who is answering for themselves within a sound proof box on stage. But there's a lurking threat...The Algorithm! Pre-loaded with information on our contestant and the collated results from a national survey, The Algorithm will start making predictions of its own.

Will a computer prove it knows your family and friends better than you do, or can you beat the machine and win the cash?

For your chance to be a part of TV3's The Algorithm or to be a member of the audience, click here. Contestant applications close on Friday 18th of July 2014 but audience applications will remain open.

Recording will take place in TV3 studios in late August 2014. You must be 18 or over to be a contestant and audience members must be 16 or over if not accompanied by an adult.

TV3 are working on a number of new productions requiring audience participation. More information can be found on www.tv3.ie/takepart
