How to Play
• Contestants can answer the questions in
any category and order, and each
correct answer raises their cumulative
amount of winnings to the next level
(see table on score board);
• After a contestant answers the fifth
question correctly, they are guaranteed
to leave with at least $25,000.
• If a contestant correctly answers the
first ten questions, they receive a bonus
question, worth $1,000,000.
• There are 3 HELP’s available, see next
HELP RULES
Contestants have three forms of assistance
(two "cheats" and a "save") available for use:
• Peek: The contestant can see what their teacher
wrote down as the answer, and choose whether to
go along with it or not.
• Copy: The contestant is locked into whatever
answer an opposing team of their choice wrote
down, without being able to see it first.
• Save: If the contestant gets an answer incorrect,
but all the other teams do not, they are credited
with a correct answer, and the game continues.
However, if the other teams are also wrong, the
contestant loses. This can only be used once per game,
and is used automatically on the contestant's first incorrect
response.
