• There are 5 cheats:

1. The 45 minute rule
2. The 15 minute rule
3. The 2 second rule
4. The 1 second rule
5. The draw cut

• The 45 minute rule: If the player wins by answering all questions in 15 minutes or less, he can take 3x as much he'd earn or draw cut & forfeit the extra prize money
• The 15 minute rule: If the player wins by answering all questions in 45 minutes or more, but not one full hour, he can draw cut or double the stakes of the contest by answering another set of 100 questions in Penguin or X-treme level & win twice as much
• The 2 second rule: If the player answers the last question at the two second mark before the 60th second (59:58) The player is given the opportunity to draw cut or go to an Elimination round if it's 2 player mode (This rule doesn't work on 1 player mode)
• The 1 second rule: If the player answers the last question at the one second mark before the 60th second (59:59) (Much like the 2 second rule) The player can do an X-treme round or drop out, but that would require leaving the ended game & forfeiting the prize money
• The Draw Cut: Used in other cheats, A draw cut is where the player drops out of the contest before the game or round is over with his/her winnings he/she won during the game, It can only be used in the end or past way through the middle (meaning the contestant must stay in for at least 30 minutes) Another condition is is that 51 out of 100 questions at least must be answered correct to draw cut, the only cheat the draw cut is not acceptable is the 1 second rule
