Prior to the show, a contestant is hooked up to a polygraph and asked 50 questions; there is no polygraph testing conducted during the actual show. Without knowing the results of the polygraph, he or she is asked 21 of those same questions again on the program, each becoming progressively more personal in nature. If the contestant answers honestly, according to the polygraph results, he or she moves on to the next question; however, should a contestant lie in his or her answer (as determined by the polygraph), the game ends, and the contestant wins nothing.[1] For each tier of questions answered correctly, the contestant wins the corresponding amount of money. A contestant has to decide to stop and take the won amount of money or to continue before he or she hears the next question.
