Format
editAll questions used on the show are taken from a set that have been previously posed to a group of people chosen from throughout the United States. The questions are classified by the percentage who answered correctly, with lower percentages indicating higher difficulty levels. A total of 15 questions are used per episode, starting at 90% and decreasing to 1%.
The game begins with 100 contestants, each of whom is given a $1,000 stake. After a question is asked, they have 30 seconds to lock in their responses. All contestants who either answer incorrectly or fail to respond in time are eliminated, and their money is added to the day's jackpot. Prior to the fifth question (50%), all remaining contestants are given a pass, which they may use to skip any one question other than the final one (1%). In order to use a pass, however, a contestant must put their $1,000 into the jackpot. Prior to the ninth question (30%), any contestants who have not yet used their pass are given a chance to leave the game at this point and keep their money; those who have used their pass must continue.
All players who either answer the fourteenth question (5%) correctly or pass it become eligible to win the jackpot. They may accept equal shares of $10,000 and leave the game, or attempt the 1% question. The jackpot is divided equally among all contestants who attempt the question and answer it correctly. Those who have not used their pass keep their original $1,000 if they lose, or have it added to their share of the jackpot if they win.
