Jeff Foxworthy ~ Host Photo Courtesy of Fox Online Slide 4 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 HELPs available, see next screen. Slide 5 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.
