Edit
The first five questions (up to $1000) are ridiculously easy. They are a formality; hardly any contestant ever misses these. A waste of everyone's time.
The next five questions are somewhat more challenging, though still too easy for my taste. Earning $25000 is something of an achievement on any other show, but contestants of average ability do it regularly here.
The $50000 question is usually pretty good -- about as hard as a Jeopady! Daily Double.
Beyond that level, the questions suddenly get preposterously hard, to the point that virtually no contestant ever risks answering them.
I mean, what is the point?
