The 10 In :60 Bonus Rounds
« on: December 06, 2003, 04:19:00 PM »
There certainly have been many of those bonus rounds where ten correct answers were required within a minute to earn the top prize.
When The $10,000 Pyramid was in pilot stage, that was the original end-game scenario until it was deemed impossible--or at least highly improbable.
How many game shows can you think of where providing ten correct answers in a minute were needed to nail the bonus?

Debt, The Last Word, Now You See It, Trivia Unwrapped(when the wheel doesn't stop on Who Wants Seconds? or the "8 in 60" square), WIntution, Whew!(if no extra time was won in the maingame, this was theoretically possible, but never occured IIRC), History IQ(IQ timeline round required the players to match 10 events to the years or decades they occurred in ), Password Plus/Super Password, Russian ROulette(season two), Win Ben Stein's Money(if Ben got nine of ten correct, and there was one episode, the pants pulldown bit IIRC where the contestant got all ten and Ben got nine), Hit Man(if the three columns used had a total of ten spaces to be filled with money men, a win could be done in as few as 4 or as many as 12), Quicksilver(some early episodes allowed the player 60 seconds to get ten correct answers instead of 45 as was the case for most of the run), Cross-Wits.

The Chuck Henry version of Beat the Odds had the winner guessing ten words from definitions and first/last letters in under a minute for $5000.

 Definitions? I bet Richard Kline was taking notes on this, as he used it 15 years later :)

The bonus game in the pilot of PDQ (later back as Baffle) had contestants trying to guess 10 words in 60 seconds. How many right answers did you need in the Double Talk (Stewart) bonus? That was right up there, wasn't it?

Indeed...one for each letter in the show's title.

 The Double Talk bonus required you to reveal all the letters in Double Talk. It was nine answers in 60 seconds because the D was given for free.

Wasn't the bonus round on Body Language also of the 10 in :60 variety?

Depending on the contestant's luck, "Shoot for the Stars" fits this category.
