As a reminder, every question answered correctly within range will increase
winnings
by the power of 10, from $1000 to $10,000 to $100,000 to $1 million to $10
million. Players can walk away at any time, but if they go for it and miss, they'll
lose by the power of 10 and walk out with that much. Help is available, though,
in the form of the audience and companions.
But the moment an answer is "locked in", it is
considered final and binding.
