It's not. If you failed to answer any question correctly, you get penalized for the same. For instance if 5 people answer correctly and someone who hasn't answered that question, he will be alloted 6 points because if he would answer correctly, he would at least be the sixth person to do so. ? Goodluck.
Wait. So bc i didnt answer the first two questions i basically cant win anymore? Cuz i will get at least 12 points.
You can still answer question 2. You may answer question 1 too but you'll be the sixth person to do so. So that's atleast 6 points, whether you answer or not.
