Line 10:
The bonus round was played on a board that contained 12 possible answers. Half were right, the other half were wrong. Peter would give a topic that pertained to the right answers. The object was to find all six correct answers within a 60-second time limit. The board had touch screens around the frame of the monitor, and the player would run to the board, touch six answers, run back and hit a plunger. When the player hit it, the total number of correct answers selected was given to the player, who would then change some answers by deselecting wrong ones first. The contestant won a car for getting all six correct answers within the time limit.
