Kevin Prather:
this may be a stupid question, but at one point, wasn't there some sort of rule/law regarding a 5-time limit in game shows? I thought it came into affect after the Van Doren incident.

zachhoran:
I don't recall the limit on number of wins ever being a certified law. After the scandals, Concentration had a 20 game limit, and that's more than 5(only one person won the 20 games). Other shows had other limits on number of wins or on the amount a player could take home.

 Are you sure, really - is 20 more than 5??

 Yeah, it's a stupid question. (See McKee, Thom)

If a contestent lasts five or more days do you still think they will get to choose a car?
