Round 2: The 6 contestants who make it past round 1, now participate in this round, called Sudden Death.  In this round, the answers are the numbers of the contestants that make it past round 1. A toss-up question is asked, and whoever knows the answer can buzz in. If you're right, and it's YOUR number you're safe. If you're right, and it's SOMEONE ELSE'S number, you're safe, but they're OUT! If you're wrong, no matter which number it is, YOU'RE OUT! This continues until one remains, and that person wins $2,500 in cash, while the others receive $1,000 cash. But here's where the real excitement begins, as that person now faces:

This was the show's bonus round (and the most memorable part of the show), where the one person remaining in round 2, could now play for ONE MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH! And the $2,500 cash the person won is theirs to keep, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.  Those are the LITTLE BUCKS. But here, you're playing for the BIG BUCKS! Here's how it works: The producers reveal the Wonderwall (which is a 3-projection screen wall), and on that wall are 49 answers to 49 questions numbered, as Dick Clark points out, 1-49 (How stupid is anyone not to know that?). Then Dick will ask you a question, and then you will have 15 seconds to give the number AND the answer of that number (so the producers will know which ones to remove) before he can proceed to the next question. For example, if the question is "Which Texas high school won the state football title 4 times? If you see Garland High School next to the number 45, you'd shout out "45, Garland High School."  And as always, on most game shows, the more questions you nail the more money you win. Here's how it all grows:

$2,500
$5,000
$7,500
$10,000
$15,000
$20,000
$25,000
$30,000
$40,000
$50,000
$60,000
$70,000
$80,000
$90,000
$100,000
$200,000
$300,000
$400,000
$500,000
$1,000,000

If you nail 20 questions in 3 minutes, you'll will walk out of the Stone-Stanley Studios (where they tape) as America's newest millionaire! Here's the catch: If you answer a question incorrectly, or if you don't answer within 15 seconds, you get a strike (X). 3 strikes (X X X), and you're out, and you lose everything, in other words, A STRIKE OUT.  In your hand, you have a Pit Stop button in the form of a joystick, which allows you to take 2 15-second Pit Stop breaks. Each of them help a player find an answer SHOULD THEY GET LOST. This is NOT like that of "Millionaire"'s Lifelines. This just helps them find the answer they're looking for, and at the same time, will help them nail future questions, because they will have already known the answers AND their locations. All the player has to do is press the button, and the main clock and the 15-second mini-clock (the ticking one) will stop, and the pit stop is in action. You can also PASS on 2 questions, if you're stumped. Now, here's the most important thing to remember: If you get 2 strikes, or if there's 15 seconds remaining on the clock, whichever comes first (although BOTH will occur at one point or another), a big button will glow red right next to you, making a heartbeat sound. That's your BAIL OUT button. You can press that and bail out and keep the money you've won at that point. This is what makes all bail-outs different, as on other shows you have to tell the host if you are going to bail out. Here you don't. However, you must bail out BEFORE the clock runs out, or you lose EVERYTHING. This also applies if you'are about to get 3 strikes. If you STRIKE OUT, or if you don't BAIL OUT before the clock RUNS OUT, you lose EVERYTHING. All that info will be on a little Apple I-Mac screen on your right. Now for the winners list. Also, on the UK version, Wonderwall players play for fantastic holiday prizes, which have spending cash thrown in. Now on BOTH versions, once the Wonderwall is revealed, the player will have 15 seconds to look over ALL 49 answers. The 15-second mini-clock will tick fast, and when it reaches the bottom, the main clock is lit up and started, and the action begins!
