This is where the initial run continues from Ep. 015 in September 1986, and as of this week, the prize cards and car game are launched. Educated Guess questions are also launched as of this week. To compensate for these new additions, champions no longer earn $100 for winning a game, and in addition to winning five-matches, winning a car also retires a champion.
