The twist of the game is when a person gets it right and the contestants ahead of them get it wrong, they immediately switch to their new positions.[[note]]For example, if the contestants at spots 1, 2 and 5 get it right, but those at 3 and 4 get it wrong, the person from number 5 moves to number 3, those at 1 and 2 stay, while the rest move one spot down.[[/note]] Play continues until 5 questions in Round 1, in which the person in the number 5 position is eliminated from play. This repeats itself in the next two rounds (the number of questions equals the number of players) without any major changes. The one in the number one spot at the end of Round 3 earns $1,000 and advances to the [[BonusRound Big Switch]].
