Meredith Vieira | Millionaire (2008) First Clock Format Episode | Game S...

Millionaire added a clock in 2008, this was the first episode that the clock was introduced. In 2008, the US version changed its format so that contestants were required to answer questions within a set time limit. The limit varied depending on the difficulty of the question: Question number Time limit 1–5 15 seconds 6–10 30 seconds 11–14 45 seconds 15 45 seconds (+ any accumulated remaining time from the previous 14 questions) The clock started immediately after a question was given and the four possible answers appeared. The clock paused when a lifeline was used. If the clock ran out with no answer locked in, the contestant walked away with any prize money won up to that point, unless the "Double Dip" lifeline had been used, in which case a failure to give a second answer was treated the same as a wrong answer. This format change was later adopted into other international versions – the British original, for example, adopted this change for episodes on 3 August 2010.[ Never Miss An Upload, Join the channel. https:/www.youtube.com/@MrPsGameShowFans
