I believe it was $50k total. Bob Stewart was known to cut corners. On the previous Pyramids, the $10k and $25k don't add up for $25k Pyramid. Same with the dollar figures for $20k Pyramid.
Well, on $20K, "adding up" didn't really matter, as you went home once you won in the WC, whether it was 10, 15, or 20.
But if the 50K was a total, did that include money won on the contestant's first appearance (up to 10K, as I call), or just during the tournament (where I think you could win 20K in the first week - 5 on the Mon/Tue appearance, 5 on Wed/Thu, only to lose when the opponent also won 5 and you lost the tiebreaker, and then 10 on Friday)?
