Yup. Six categories with five clues each.
Life, don't talk to me about life.

Actually, on a daily double, they only win the amount they bet. The reason
they call them daily doubles is that you do have the opportunity to double
your total by betting all you have accumulated.
During the first round, the dollar amounts on each category are, the last
time I watched the show, which was quite some time ago, were $200, $400,
$600, $800, and $1000. There is 1 daily double available. The contestants
don't know where it is. In the second round, the amounts are doubled, and
there are 2 daily doubles hidden. The final round is "final Jeopardy", in
which each contestant writes the amount of their winnings they choose to
wager on the back of a card, then the clue is given, and they have 30
seconds to write the question on the front of that card. The winner is the
contestant who has the highest total after the Final Jeopardy round.

Hi Dark,
Ah, I see. Well, there are ways to wager your earnings on a single
clue and end up losing it if you answer incorrectly.
As Bryan mentioned a couple of days ago there are daily double
questions where the person must make a wager before hearing the clue.
If they answer correctly they will get double the amount of money they
wagered. If they answer wrong they lose their wager. If they bet their
entire earnings on that clue they'll essentially be starting with $0
which will likely put them in third place during Final Jeopardy.
So if you want to know why the game is so popular that is one reason.
Its certainly educational, certainly challenging, but but the betting
wagering are risky moves that will make or break a player. There is
know way of knowing who will win the show, because the guy who lead
round x might wipe out in the next round by making a fatal mistake.
The daily doubles and Final Jeopardy round are very suspenseful
because you don't know if the contestant is going to win big or wipe
out.
Cheers!

Hi tom.
I don't remember the money risking format, which probably explains why
the
british version never worked.
I can see how the suspense and people betting would make a huge
difference,
after all that was why Who wants to be a millionare got to be so popular
watching some greedy individual risk everything on one answer.
As regards the question and answer format though, I'm afraid I'm still a
little confused as to what makes such a difference? as I said, I never
really saw how inserting "who is" or "what is" changed the format of
things
that much, sinse you'd still be looking for one peace of knolidge that
hooked up with only one other peace of knolidge, and might as well be
answering a question.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
