Barry Joker's Wild Mystery Category ?

I do not ever recall seeing this happened but I'm wondering what if...
Jack had 7 questions in front of his podium for the Mystery category which paid off double the dollar value.
What would have happened had all 7 questions been used up and someone spun the Mystery category and wanted to play it?

Speculation here - when Jim Peck subbed for Bill Cullen there were stopdowns as Jim was much faster than Bill so Jim would exhaust the question stacks provided to him and they needed to be refreshed. My guess is quick stopdown, throw a new seven cards on the podium and pick it up.

Or just throw to a commercial break, and come back with another full rack of Mystery Qs and a short "while you were away..." explanation.

Apropos of nothing, *STILL* one of my favorite bits of game show minutiae is that there was an episode of Cullen TJW where only one question was asked for the entire show.

Huh? How is that even possible? I must be out of the loop on that one because it's the first I've heard of that. Is there a link to it anywhere?
