Disney's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: Another Edition

The Overall Franchise(simplified here and there)

Lots of people around the world have heard of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. But few of them know that different nations have their own versions. The first version was created by British television producers in 1998. People in the U.S. created their own version the following year. And on and on as nations like India, Russia, France, etc. came up with their own versions. Each of the different versions is similar to each other, their only differences being in languages and/or currencies.

Yet, they share similar rules. Most shows involve the same amount of questions, yet, a number of those shows would change the amount. Normally, we're familiar with there being fifteen questions. Although, there have been times where the amount is fourteen, or ten, or even twelve, that last amount being about as common as there is the usual fifteen, though I haven't checked thoroughly enough. You can try that out yourselves and tell me where I went wrong. I'll make sure to include your findings in later updates.

But to maintain the topic of the rules, WWTBAM is a quiz show, which explains the questions, and the purpose they serve in the show. If a player gets a question correct, the amount of money it's worth is placed in their bank account. If they get it wrong, they lose several amounts of money and are done playing. Two questions serve as checkpoints. If a player gets a checkpoint question correct, they're guaranteed to leave with that much money if they get the first, second, third, or fourth question from there wrong. They're also free to walk away with however much they earned so far.

Each question is worth a certain amount of money. Here is the list for the number of questions being fifteen:

1: $100

2: $200

3: $300

4: $500

5: $1,000(checkpoint)

6: $2,000

7: $4,000

8: $8,000

9: $16,000

10: $32,000(checkpoint)

11: $64,000

12: $125,000

13: $250,000

14: $500,000

15: $1,000,000

And here's the one with the amount being twelve:

1: $500

2: $1,000(checkpoint)

3: $2,000

4: $5,000

5: $10,000

6: $20,000

7: $50,000(checkpoint)

8: $75,000

9: $150,000

10: $250,000

11: $500,000

12: $1,000,000

There are lifelines in the game. Normally, there are three, but other games have used more. Here are the three classic ones, as documented on Wikipedia:

50:50 (Fifty-Fifty): the game's computer eliminates two wrong answers from the current question, leaving behind the correct answer and one incorrect answer. From 2000, the selection of two incorrect answers was random.

Phone a Friend: the contestant is connected with a friend over a phone line and is given 30 seconds to read the question and answers and solicit assistance. The time begins as soon as the contestant starts reading the question.
