Lifelines
Three lifelines were presented at the beginning of the game in order to aid contestants:
- 50/50: The computer eliminates two random wrong answers, leaving the right answer and the other remaining wrong answer.
- Phone a Friend: The contestant calls one of their five prearranged friends, who provided their phone numbers in advance. The contestant has 30 seconds to read the question and four possible answers to the friend, who then has the remaining time to offer input.
- Ask the Audience: Audience members use touch pads to designate what they believe the correct answer to be. The percentage of the audience choosing each specific option is displayed to the contestant.
