opimus:
How did they raise and lower the passwords?

rugrats1:
I figure that they have a stagehand underneath to manipulate the passwords. I don't know how else they would pull it off.

Anyone agree or disagree? If the latter, then how?

Kevin Prather:
I don't think it was motorized, seing as the Pyramid was done by hand, and that was 20-or-so years later. I'd say the stagehand is most likely.

Dan Sadro:
I'm not sure, but I always thought it was motorized.  It's just a theory, partially based in the rule that if you passed a word, you couldn't come back to it, suggesting some sort of camshaft system attached to a motor.

If it was a stagehand, I'd sure hate to be him/her.

TV Favorites:
But didn't they go back at times and reveal previous words after time expired so the contestant could see what they missed?
