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?

My guess is quick stopdown, throw a new seven cards on the podium and pick it up.
as Jim was much faster than Bill
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?

Is there a link to it anywhere?While I've never seen the episode, I know others can vouch for me / correct me on this. But I'm pretty sure the sequence went:* Bonus round* Main game - 3 jokers came up, question asked, game was won* Bonus round* Audience game
I always wondered why they bothered having both the Mystery category, with its doubled amounts, and Potpourri, which was pretty much the same thing but with normal amounts.
