2. WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE AND A COMPUTER GEEK?

3. The Rules Build your fortune by answering multiple-choice questions correctly and moving up the ladder toward $1,000,000! Along the way, you have three lifelines: 1) 50:50, which eliminates two wrong answers 2) Ask a friend, which allows you to ask one person in class 3) Ask the Audience, which allows you to ask the entire class. 15$1 MILLION 14$500,000 13$250,000 12$125,000 11$64,000 10$32,000 9$16,000 8$8,000 7$4,000 6$2,000 5$1,000 4$500 3$300 2$200 1$100

4. The Rules If you answer a question incorrectly, you lose the game. If you reach the $1,000 or $32,000 level, you are guaranteed that amount even if you answer a question incorrectly. All prizes are imaginary. Of course, you’re also playing for pride. 15$1 MILLION 14$500,000 13$250,000 12$125,000 11$64,000 10$32,000 9$16,000 8$8,000 7$4,000 6$2,000 5$1,000 4$500 3$300 2$200 1$100
