On December 17, Round 1 was re-tooled into two sub-rounds: First was "Fact or Fiction", wherein each team played two true-or-false questions, winning $25 for each correct answer. After it came the "Trivia Trap" round, playing two questions each (again with the two choices of four answers); here, the team members could agree or disagree on which right answer they picked, earning more money if everyone picked the right answer.
Both formats used the same rules for the next rounds: the $1,000 Trivia Race, which was simply pick a category, answer a question, lather-rinse-repeat; the first ten questions were worth $100 each, with all subsequent ones worth $200. After all that, the winning team proceeded to the $10,000 Trivia Ladder, a multi-tiered bonus round.

Mark Goodson did this after a focus group from American Film International made the (possibly ill-advised) suggestion that the show's format of eliminating wrong answers was a "gameplay flaw".

* BonusRound: The $10,000 Trivia Ladder. Four levels, each representing a question with four possible answers; the first three are for each individual teammate (order of play is determined by number of questions answered in the Trivia Race). A correct answer won $1,000 and moved them to the final level, where a correct answer split the money ($3,333 for all three, $5,000 for two, or $10,000 for one person).
** It should be noted that the payout structure was unique for this show; while all front game money was divided amongst the team, the $13,000 offered in the Trivia Ladder was earned for each individual player (that is, if one person answered both their questions correctly, they alone would win $11,000 on top of all "team" money).

Short-lived GameShow created by Creator/MarkGoodson which ran on Creator/{{ABC}} from October 8, 1984 to April 5, 1985. The show pitted a team of three "Juniors" (each under 30) and three "Seniors" (each over 30) against each other.
The original format had Round 1 offering two rows of four answers each. The team chose one of the two rows and was asked a question related to it. Each team member had to eliminate the three wrong answers from that row, with $50 won for each wrong answer eliminated and $300 if all three wrong answers were removed.
On December 17, Round 1 was re-tooled into two sub-rounds: First was "Fact or Fiction", wherein each team played two true-or-false questions, winning $25 for each correct answer.
