So I can't seem to find the archived Shuffle "Official Rules of the Game" so I wanted to know:
- For Double Money week during shuffle seasons, was it only possible that only one question was double money or could others also be double money?
- Something tells me this is no but: could a question on round 2 also be double money?

The Double Money question was always a single round 1 question whose position was known to the contestant.
Something I want to know is: - I've never seen Double Money be on any question other than the $25,000 question. This might have been intentional by the producers (lol doubling $100 after all the hype) but it was never directly stated. Was it ever on a lower value question? If so, is there an episode link? - Has a contestant ever chosen to jump the Double Money question? I'm wondering what the big-screen animation for that would be.
Edit: On that note, I've never seen the Crystal Ball lifeline display anything other than $25,000 either. Now I'm wondering if the producers have ever switched the payout values of Shuffle questions behind the scenes while the contestant was there.

I'll dig around for an episode. 2) They have jumped a double money question. (Again I'll look for it.) When the jump is revealed, it only shows the normal amount. (If I recall...) Crystal Ball is another beast... I mean, it wouldn't be hard to do programatically to change the tree on the fly. However, I'm PRETTY sure that doing so would violate their rules and have the ABC Standards and Practices department ready to go off on both parties in any kind of lawsuit.

1) Yes, double money was once on the $100 question. I don't recall what year it happened but I remember it quite clearly.
2) When contestant jumps the double money question the same animations are played as if they had answered it correctly, doubling the amount lost on that question, just the color scheme on the graphics were changed to reflect the "jumping" action.

Thanks!
EDIT: Hang on, the first clip doesn't look like it was a Double Money question. The contestant gets it right but only the normal animation plays and they get the standard $100 added to their bank.

Sorry, must have gotten the wrong link when I was scrolling through endless YouTube history. I'll try to look again and see if I can find the one where the jump had $100 behind it though I might not be able to because it was a loooooooong time ago since I have seen the video clip.
