A player loses money as shown above for each
second their heart rate exceeds the set rate as shown above (percentage of
resting rate). And there are two "Heartstoppers" per game,
where some surprises are in store for the contestants. They must
stay below their resting rate for the length of the heartstopper, or they
lose the amount equal to the round they are currently playing.
