The show then had the Question Round and the final " Big Board " round the original show had with a few tweaks.

A series of five questions were asked, and contestants had the opportunity to buzz in with an answer.

The host would then add two other answers ( three if no one buzzed in or if a contestant buzzed in and did not answer within the five-second time limit ) and allow the other contestants to guess from those answers ( the contestant who buzzed in and did not answer was not allowed to do so in the multiple-choice format ).

A correct buzz-in answer earned 3 spins while a correct multiple-choice answer earned one spin, so that up to 25 spins could be earned by all three contestants together.

In addition to the original Whammies, Double Whammies added a physical element to the animated Whammy character ; for example, if the animated Whammy ran over some dollar-sign hedges with a lawn mower, a pile of grass clippings was dumped onto the contestant.

In the final Big Board round, contestants can pass their remaining spins to the opponent with the higher score ( or their choice of opponent if both scores are tied ) if they so desire.

Contestants who receive spins passed to them must play those spins, unless they land on a Whammy, at which point the remaining passed spins are combined with that contestant's total of earned spins ( if any remain ).
