Summary
In this trivia game, a screen of sixteen possible answers (to a question such as "Which of these inventions were discovered by accident?") are shown - eleven are correct, the first awarding $10, then $20, etc. up to $110 for the last answer. The other five answers are incorrect, and hitting a "Wipeout" loses all your money from the whole game (ouch). The two contestants with the most money at the end of round 1 go to play in the Wipeout Auction. From 12 options, players bid on how many correct answers they can pick out (up to the maximum of 8). Hitting a wipeout allows your opponent to steal the frame if they can find just one correct answer. Winning two frames gets you through to the final.
