On answering the first question correctly, the contestant wins £ 100 ( in the UK – other countries vary the currency but have the same basic format ).

After the first few questions, the host will ask the contestant if that is their " final answer ".

The first five questions usually omit this rule, unless the contestant has guessed a wrong answer ( at which point, the host is hoping the contestant will take the hint ), because the questions are generally so easy that to require a final answer would significantly slow the game down ; thus, there are five chances for the contestant to leave with nothing if he or she were to give a wrong answer before obtaining the first guaranteed amount ; going for £ 1, 000 after winning £ 500 is the last point in the game at which a contestant can still leave with nothing.

The Contender, a boxing show, unfortunately became the first American reality show in which a contestant committed suicide after being eliminated from the show ; the show's winner was promised a shot at a boxing world championship.

The clock started after the contestant selected the first star.

The first celebrity response to match a contestant's answer gave that contestant the victory.

The first panelist to give an answer selected by one of the contestants won the game for that contestant.

All panelists played both questions for each contestant, regardless of whether they matched in the first round.

As on the 1990 – 1991 version, all five panelists played each round regardless of whether they matched a contestant on the first question ; correct matches in the second round were worth two " points " while those in the first were awarded one.

The first contestant to buzz in gives an answer.

In the first Big Board round, the contestant with the fewest spins plays first.

In the second round, the contestant with the lowest score plays first.

In the case of a tie for fewest spins ( round 1 or 2 ) or lowest score ( round 2 ), the contestant on the left plays first.

During the show's first season, any contestant who won over $ 25, 000 would retire undefeated, with the full amount won in his or her appearances.

George W. Snedecor, the head of Iowa State's Statistics Department, was very likely the first user of an electronic digital computer to solve real world mathematics problems.

For each problem, the first person to solve it will be awarded $ 1, 000, 000 by the CMI.

The use of money as a medium of exchange and unit of account is necessary to solve the first two problems of economic calculation.

The help desk will assign the desktop team the second-level deskside issues that the first level was not able to solve.

If one identifies C with R < sup > 2 </ sup >, then the holomorphic functions coincide with those functions of two real variables with continuous first derivatives which solve the Cauchy-Riemann equations, a set of two partial differential equations.

The study of linear algebra and matrices first emerged from the study of determinants, which were used to solve systems of linear equations.

Thus making a conscious entity impossible to exist without cause, and a conscious entity impossible to represent first cause, or solve infinite regress.

At the meeting, Feynman concluded his talk with two challenges, and he offered a prize of $ 1000 for the first individuals to solve each one.

It was first published as ' Could you solve Pentominoes?

Released in late 1983, the game was marketed via the announcement of a cash prize for the first person to solve the puzzle.

The first computer is attempting to solve a large and extremely difficult 3-SAT problem ; it has decomposed the original 3-SAT problem in a considerable number of smaller problems.

This equation was first studied extensively in ancient India, starting with Brahmagupta, who developed the chakravala method to solve Pell's equation and other quadratic indeterminate equations in his Brahma Sphuta Siddhanta in 628, about a thousand years before Pell's time.

Cavalieri first used polar coordinates to solve a problem relating to the area within an Archimedean spiral.

The usual way to solve such a system is to first diagonalize the W matrix.

The SPR was the first organisation of its kind in the world, its stated purpose being " to approach these varied problems without prejudice or prepossession of any kind, and in the same spirit of exact and unimpassioned enquiry which has enabled science to solve so many problems, once not less obscure nor less hotly debated.

To solve, we first rearrange the equation in order to separate the variables, intensity I and position z:

Because the equation is second order in the time derivative, then by the nature of solving differential equations, one must specify both the initial values of the wave function itself and of its first time derivative, in order to solve definite problems.

ne of my first orders of business as secretary of the navy would be to solve ... the Rickover problem.

The first written account of using medicine and entomology to solve ( separate ) criminal cases is attributed to the book of Xi Yuan Lu ( translated as " Washing Away of Wrongs "), written in Song Dynasty China by Song Ci ( 宋慈, 1186 – 1249 ) in 1248.

In the 1920s, Harold Murdock of Boston attempted to solve the puzzle of the first shots fired on Lexington Green, and came to the suspicion that the few score militia men who gathered before sunrise to await the arrival of hundreds of well-prepared British soldiers were sent specifically to provoke an incident which could be used for propaganda purposes.

The Persian mathematician, Sharaf al-Dīn al-Tūsī ( 1135 – 1213 ), was the first to discover the derivative of cubic polynomials, an important result in differential calculus ; his Treatise on Equations developed concepts related to differential calculus, such as the derivative function and the maxima and minima of curves, in order to solve cubic equations which may not have positive solutions.

The first attempt to solve this problem were the memory optimizations introduced in 1977 by D. Pager but still the LR parser required significantly more memory than other parsing methods.

* The inverted detective story: Also known as " howcatchem ", the commission of the crime and the identity of the perpetrator is revealed to the reader first, then the rest of the story describes the detective's attempt to solve the mystery.

In 1846, Möbius invited Grassmann to enter a competition to solve a problem first proposed by Leibniz: to devise a geometric calculus devoid of coordinates and metric properties ( what Leibniz termed analysis situs ).

Whenever we attempt to solve a new subproblem, we first check the table to see if it is already solved.
