Why’d the loss of points? I thought the rules said “If you answer wrong but someone else already answered it wrong before you, points will NOT be taken off you, however you may not answer or guess again.” ---

> [@samarm](#): > > Why have I got -300? > > Mine was not the first wrong answer? > > “If you answer wrong but someone else already answered it wrong before you, points will NOT be taken off you, however you may not answer or guess again.” You didn’t answer with the same wrong answer. If two people give the same wrong answer, I won’t take off points…but if they are different, I would, just like they do in regular Jeopardy. Sorry, I guess I should have made that clearer, but I did say “Standard Jeopardy Rules apply”, too, and those are standard Jeopardy rules…however people are not taken off with points for giving the same wrong answer (partly because nobody ever does this knowing the first answer is already wrong). ---
