If I understand the rules correctly, on Tic Tac Dough, if a game ends in a tie, the pot carries over to the next game, *and the square values stayed at $2/300.* If that is the case, how was it that Thom McKee could win a pot worth $36,800 in only five games? By my count, it would take at least 21 games for the pot to get that high.

There was a Secret Category in one of the games, which, when answered correctly, doubled the pot. So add a few of those and you can see how the pot could get real big, real fast.

B&E realized how big the pot could get(as high as $76800 in the first game, and way higher than that if the SC appeared in any tie games, which it did in the aforementioned McKee match) with the SC in a game, and finally dropped it in 1982-83.

Please don't answer without raising your hand; it gives your peers a chance.
