SO WHAT IS "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"

"Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" is a TV game show that is played by a single player and a host. Other participants include a studio audience(class). The player gets a series of predetermined questions that escalate in difficulty, with higher reward for each question. There are several prize caps, in which a player will lose all of their money won thus far, if they don't make it to the cap with out missing a question. The player may choose to stop playing after reaching every cap. The player also has access to 3 different forms of help. The player may decide to have half of the answer choices eliminated, have the audience vote on the correct answer, and the choice to call a friend for help on the current question. The player gets a single chance to answer each multiple choice question correctly.

"Who Wants to be a CSC Major"
