=================
=1. Introduction=
=================
Hello, my name is Alex this is one of my first FAQS this is a very short FAQ 
because...well it's a trivia game. I loved all the You Don't Know Jack games 
but for some reason I liked this one the best. I hope this FAQ comes in handy 
for you! Well until next time see yeah!

====================
=2. Version History=
====================
Version 1.0
This is my first version covering all the questions of the game. 
Version 2.0
I added the new screwing section along with that I fixed some grammar and 
spelling mistakes.
Version 3.0
This is my last version for the game. Sorry. I have fixed the Three Way 
section thanks to Wan Hazmer. I hope this comes in handy for you. Until the 
next FAQ...See Yeah!

============
=3. Buzzers=
============
Let me start off by explaining the buzzers.
1 Player Game
First Player-B (Pretty sad that only one person is playing a trivia 
game...just kidding I do it all the time!)
2 Player Game
First Player- Q
Second Player- P
3 Player Game
First Player- Q
Second Player- B
Third Player- P
I recommend that you use the stickers that came with the game to mark your 
buzzers.

======================
=4. Category Question=
======================
This question is at the beginning of the game and decides the category you 
will be playing on for example if the bellow was your question and you picked 
answer one you be playing something about adding if you picked answer two you 
would be doing something about subtracting. There are 2 answers. There is no 
strategy I can give you here just cross your fingers and hope you get a good 
category.
Sample Question:
What is your favorite math skill you learned?
1.  Adding
2.  Subtracting

==================
=5. Name Question=
==================
This question will appear every so often and it decides your name if it asks 
you a question where you should be able to type tour name then it's a name 
question. For example if it asked you the following when you should've been 
able to type in your name.
How many languages do you speak?
1.  One
2.  Two
3.  Three 
If you chose one then your name would be American. 
If you chose two then your name would be Bilingual.
If you chose three then your name would be Weirdo.
Again there is no strategy for this type of question just answer honestly. 
(Honesty is the best policy and also the most funny...unless of course you 
broke a window.) :( 

==============================
=6. Multiple Choice Questions=
==============================
These are the most common questions you will see throughout the game. They 
ask you a question and give you four answers to choose from one of those 
questions is right and the rest are wrong. The following is an example 
question.
What is the shape of King Arthur's Table?
1.  Square
2.  Round (correct answer)
3.  Straight
4.  Zigzag
If you chose the second answer then you would get the amount of money the 
question was worth however if you get it wrong then you lose the amount that 
the question is worth. You only have one shot at the question.
STRATEGY:
You can answer the question if you think you know it, the money value isn't 
that big. Don't answer the question if you absolutely don't know it. This is 
the only question type where you can screw people.

==============
=7. Road Kill=
==============
This is a cool category in this type of question you are apparently driving a 
car. They will give you two phrases and words will fly in the middle when you 
see the word that matches the phrases immediately hit your buzzer. For 
example.
Color of grass.                     The ________ Mile.

purple
(wrong answer)
green
(right answer)  
Every time you get one of these right you get $500, and for every one wrong 
you lose $500. At the end it will ask you what all the correct answers have 
in common so if the answers had to do with shapes then as soon as you see 
Types Of Shapes fly by then you immediately hit your buzzer. You only have 
one try on the final question but you have as many tries as you want on the 
basic questions.
STRATEGY:
Only answer the ones you definitely know. Make sure you hit your buzzer 
immediately because first off the answer may change very fast or you opponent 
may buzz in before you. The last questions money value is the amount you 
chose at the beginning of the question. (I love the green.) :)

==========
=8. Bingo=
==========
This is question that will appear every so often. There will be a song at the 
beginning where it will tell you what your five-letter word is. (No it's not 
Bingo.) As soon as you see the first letter of the correct answer lit up buzz 
in to score $500 and you lose $500 for each time you get it wrong. It will 
give you a Phrase like The City Where N.Y.P.D. Blue Is Filmed. If your word 
is RHINO then as soon as you see the letter N lit up buzz in immediately. (Of 
course the correct answer is New York City.) Now at the bottom of your money 
you should see the letter N light up. As soon as you collect all five letters 
you will get the bonus. The bonus is the amount of money you selected at the 
beginning.
STRATEGY:
Don't buzz in unless you know it and allow yourself less the five seconds at 
the beginning to figure out the answer. If you lose $500 because you missed 
one over a silly mistake buzz in again when the correct letter is lit to get 
your money back. You must buzz in very quickly because the letters change 
very fast and your opponent will probably be Speedy Gonzalez and want to buzz 
in fast too.

=======================
=9. Gibberish Question=     
=======================
Boy do I hate these questions thank goodness they don't appear to often. You 
will see a phrase at the beginning that won't sound right if you are 
absolutely sure what the phrase is than buzz in and type it the following is 
an example gibberish question.
Vitsa Itsveryverywere Yous Hant Tsummee.
If you know what the phrase is saying than buzz in and answer the question if 
not then a clue will appear soon and it should help you out. But this is a 
warning the money goes down very fast so don't wait to long. The correct 
answer is Visa It's everywhere you want to be.
STRATEGY:
Obviously the question will sound like the answer. The money at the beginning 
is very high and can make someone go out or into debt. Don't buzz in quickly 
because your answer is probably wrong wait until at least one clue. The 
amount of money is the amount you chose at the beginning.

=======================
=10. Fill In The Blank=
=======================
These questions are extremely hard and they are fill in the blank questions. 
(You should know what a fill in the blank question is so I'm not going to 
show an example.)
STRATEGY:
Unless you are sure you know it don't buzz in. These questions are very hard 
and can be worth some big dough. The amount of money is the amount you chose 
at the beginning. 

================
=11. Dis Or Dat=
================
This is a one-player question round where it will give you a word and the 
player must select one of the choices. Let's say the category question was: 
Is this a famous President or Cartoon Character? It will show you a word like 
Bugs Bunny you would either hit:
1.  President
2.  Cartoon Character
4. Skip
Of course the correct answer is number two. You get the amount of money you 
chose at the beginning if you get it right and you lose the amount of money 
you chose at the beginning if you get it wrong. If you don't know just hit 
number four to skip.
STRATEGY:
The person who chose the amount of money at the beginning will be playing 
this round. If you don't know it just guess because if you skip and you run 
out of time you get it wrong anyway. You have about a minute to answer all of 
the seven questions so think fast! The Money you chose at the beginning is a 
very small amount but it can add up if you get all the questions or most of 
the questions right.

================
=12. Three Way?=
================
After finally getting an e-mail and playing the game over and over again I 
have finally come to a conclusion. There are no Three Way questions in this 
game. 
I would like to thank Wan Hazmer for helping with this.
========================
=13. Buzzing in to soon=
========================
If you buzz in to soon (before you can see the answers) it will ask you to 
select from a choice of wrong answers this is a good way to LOSE money. So 
don't buzz in until you can see the answer.

=================
=14. Jack Attack=
=================
The last question will be a Jack Attack where it will give you a clue and 
then a word comes up for example if the clue was Cartoons And There Shows and 
you saw the word Bugs Bunny come up in yellow then in red you saw Tiny Toons 
you know NOT to buzz in. If you see the word Loony Toons in red then you know 
to buzz in.
STRATEGY:
When you see the word buzz in immediately and get the amount you chose at the 
beginning if you get it wrong you will have more chances to get your money 
back of course you lose money each time you get it wrong. After a certain 
amount of answers the yellow word disappears and you will have to wait a 
little until it comes back after seven of these questions the game will end 
the player with the highest score wins! If you were playing alone then your 
goal was to get into the top ten.

==============
=15. Screwing=
==============
This is a brief strategy on how to screw people if you see the question but 
not the answers do not buzz in because then you will have to choose from a 
wrong set of answers. (Look back in the buzzing in too soon part of the FAQ 
on what that is.) If you see the questions and the money value is high buzz 
in immediately and keep pounding the S key to cover up the questions and 
answers this way your opponent can't even see the answers or question. But be 
prepared if your opponent gets it right then you lose the money instead of 
your opponent. If you are very far ahead then I don't suggest you screw but 
if you are far behind I suggest you do.
