A contestant who buzzes + doesn't gives the correct answer gets no points -
while their opponent has the rest of the 30 secs in which to find the answer
The 10 points from a Conundrum round may decide who can win the game.
When this happens on the final round - it is a CRUCIAL CONUNDRUM
If the scores are level after a Crucial Conundrum round -
we keep having extra Conundrum rounds until we get a winner
