$30,000 - Bad question with two correct answers.

"Well do ya, punk?" was said, Harry never fired the gun in that scene after saying it. He pulled the trigger after the perp said "I gots to know!" and "click", the gun was empty.

Am I remembering that correctly?

Why is the $100K question a free guess? Is there some sort of Mulligan now?

Because $50,000 is a safety level so even if you go for the $100,000 question and miss, you don't lose any money. --Bob

That's what I was thinking, but then I read her answer wrong and thought she missed it and still got to move on.
