The player got 750 points per instance of their letter.
There was a Double Up space.
A contestant who landed on this space was asked a question.
Getting the question right allowed the player to pick a letter for 1,000 points per instance.

This prize was kept no matter if the player lost or won the game.
The player also got 100 points per instance of their letter.
Three 250-point stunt spaces were on the wheel.
Landing on one of these spaces allowed the player to play a stunt.

14 in C-sharp minor "Quasi una fantasia", Op.
2, popularly known as the Moonlight Sonata, is a piano sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven.
Completed in 1801 and dedicated in 1802 to his student, Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, it is one of Beethoven's most popular musical compositions for the piano.
The first edition of the score has Sonata quasi una fantasia written as the heading, a title this work shares with its companion piece, Op.
Grove Music Online translates the Italian title as "sonata in the manner of a fantasy".
The name "Moonlight Sonata" started to become in use after the comments made by German music critic and poet Ludwig Rellstab about what the music reminded him of.
In 1832, five years after Beethoven's death, Rellstab imagined the effect of the first movement like a moonlight shining above Lake Lucerne.
Many agreed to this idea, and within ten years, the name "Moonlight Sonata" ("Mondscheinsonate" in German) was being used in German and English  publications.
Later in the 19th century, it could be said that the sonata was "universally known" by that name.
Many critics have disagreed to the subjective, Romantic nature of the title "Moonlight", which has often been called "a misleading approach to a movement with almost the character of a funeral march" and "absurd".
Other critics have approved of the nickname, finding it memorable or similar to their own connections with the work.
Gramophone founder Compton Mackenzie found the title "harmless", saying that "it is silly for austure critics to work themselves up into a state of almost hysterical rage with poor Rellstab", and adding, "what these austere critics fail to grasp is that unless the general public had responded to the suggestion of moonlight in this music Rellstab's remark would long ago have been forgotten."
Although there is no direct reason as to why Beethoven decided to title both the Op.
27 works as Sonata quasi una fantasia, it may be important that the layout of the present work does not follow the traditional movement arrangement in the Classical period of fast-slow-[fast]-fast.
Instead, the sonata has an end-weighted path, with the faster more technically complex music saved until the third movement.
In his analysis, German critic Paul Bekker says that "The opening sonata-allegro movement gave the work a definite character from the beginning... which succeeding movements could supplement but not change.
He wanted a prelude, an introduction, not a proposition.”

Denis Vincent Napthine (born 6 March 1952) is an Australian politician for the Liberal Party in the state of Victoria.
He is a member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly, representing the electoral district of South-West Coast.
Following the resignation of Ted Baillieu, he was elected leader of the Parliamentary Liberal Party on 6 March 2013 and was sworn in as the 47th Premier of Victoria later the same day.
On 29 November 2014, at the Victorian state election, the Coalition was defeated by Labor and Napthine conceded defeat and his term as Premier ended on 4 December 2014 when the new Labor government was sworn in and he resigned as Liberal leader and was succeeded in the Liberal leadership by Matthew Guy.
One of Napthine's ancestors is the renowned convict, Joseph Potaski.
Before entering political life he was a veterinarian, undertaking a Bachelor's and then a Master's Degree in Veterinary Science, both from the University of Melbourne, and later gaining a Master's Degree in Business Administration, from Deakin University.
Napthine was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly in 1988 as Member for the country seat of Portland, as the electorate was then known.
He was re-elected in 1992, 1996 and 1999.
The electorate of Portland was abolished in the 2002 redivision.
Napthine was then elected MLA for South-West Coast in the November 2002 election.
He was re-elected in November 2006 with an increased margin.
Kennett Ministry
Following the defeat of the Liberal Party at the 1999 election, Kennett resigned as Liberal leader, and Napthine was a surprise choice to take his place.
Napthine had briefly served as Deputy Liberal Leader having been elected to the position just shortly before Kennett stood down as Liberal Leader.
During his term as Opposition Leader the Liberal-National coalition split, fracturing the opposition parties.
Under Napthine's leadership, the Liberal Party did poorly in the polls and did not make any significant electoral inroads on the ruling Labor Government.
Shortly before the 2002  state election, Doyle challenged Napthine for the leadership of the Liberal Party.
Doyle won the leadership by a narrow margin, but went on to lead the party to its worst electoral defeat ever, in which Napthine nearly lost his seat.
Baillieu Ministry
After the Liberals won the 2010 Victorian election, Napthine was made a member of Ted Baillieu's cabinet.
He served as the Minister for Ports, Racing, Regional Cities and Major Projects.

Taif or Ta'if (, ) is a city in the Mecca Province of Saudi Arabia at a height of  on the slopes of the Sarawat Mountains (Al-Sarawat Mountains).
It has a population of 521,273 (2004 census).
Each summer the Saudi Government moves from the heat of Riyadh to Ta'if.
The city is the centre of an agricultural area known for its grapes, roses and honey.
The inhabitants of Ta'if, are largely made up of the Saudis.
There are also significant foreigners from Asia, Turkey, and other Arab countries.
The town is about  southeast of Mecca.
The walled city was a pagan religious centre.
It housed the idol of the goddess al-lāt, who was then known as "the lady of Tā'if."
Its climate was different from its dry and barren areas closer to the Red Sea.
Wheat, vines, and fruit were grown around Tā'if.
The city earned its title "the Garden of the Hejaz."
Both Ta'if and Mecca were resorts of pilgrimage.
The people of Ta'if had close trade relations with the people of Mecca.
The people of Ta'if carried on agriculture and fruit‑growing in addition to their trade activities.
620 – 632: Muhammad's era
630: The Battle of Hunayn and the Conversion of the City
In 630, the Battle of Hunayn took place at Hunayn, close to this city.
Shortly after that, the failed Siege of Ta'if took place.
The city was attacked by Banu Daws, but it survived and repelled the attacks.
The Battle of Tabouk in 631 left Tā'if completely saperated from the other ares so members of Thaqīf arrived in Mecca to negotiate the conversion of the city to Islam.
The idol of al-lāt and other signs of the city's previously pagan past were destroyed.
1517: Surrender to the Ottoman Empire
On 17 July 1517 the Sharif of Mecca gave away Ta'if to the Ottoman Sultan Selim I. As a sign of this, he surrendered to him the keys of the Islamic cities of Mecca and Medina.
As part of the Hejaz, Ta'if was also given over to Ottoman control.
1802 – 1813: Retaking by the Saudi and reconquest by the Ottomans
The city remained Ottoman for a further three centuries, until in 1802 it was retaken by Saudi revolt, who were in alliance with the House of Saud.
These forces then continued to take Mecca and Medina.
The loss was keenly felt by the Ottoman Empire, which viewed itself as the protector of the Holy Cities.
The Ottoman Sultan, Mahmud II, called upon his nominal Viceroy in Egypt Muhammad Ali, who launched an attack on the Hejaz and reconquered Ta'if in 1813.
1813: Johann Ludwig Burckhardt
In 1813, the Swiss traveller and orientalist Johann Ludwig Burckhardt visited Ta'if.
He has left an eyewitness account on the city just after it was taken back by the Muhammad Ali, with whom he obtained several interviews while he was there.
According to Burckhardt, the wall and ditch around the city had been built by Othman el Medhayfe.
There were three gates and several towers on the city walls, which, however, were weak, being in some places only  thick.
The castle had been built by Sharif Ghalib.
He also noted the destruction of the city caused by the conquest of 1802.
Most of the buildings were still in ruin while he was there and the tomb of Abdullah ibn Abbas – cousin of Muhammad and ancestor of the Abbasid Caliphate – had been severely damaged.
He also recorded that the population of the city was still mostly Thaqīf.
In terms of trade, the city was an trading post for coffee.
1843: Building works in the 19th century
The castle and military barracks in Ta'if were repaired by the Ottomans in 1843, a Hükümet Konağı – mansion for government business – was built in 1869, and a post office was established sometime later.
1916 – 1924: The Arab Revolt and Hashemite control
Prior to the Arab Revolt, Ahmed Bey had been made the commander of Ottoman forces in Tā'if.
He had under him a force of 3,000 soldiers and 10 guns of the mountain artillery.
Ghalib Pasha, the governor of the Hejaz was also present in the city.
In 1916, the Hashemites launched their revolt against the Ottoman Empire in Mecca in June.
The city had fallen and then in July, Abdullah, the eldest son of the Hashemite leader and Sharif of Mecca Husayn ibn Ali, was sent with seventy men to Tā'if.
While his activities in the area aroused the suspicion of Ahmed Bey, Ghalib Pasha was unconcerned by a so small force.
Abdullah secretly built up his army to 5,000 men.
He then cut the telegraph wires to the city and then went on the attack.
All Hashemite attacks on the city were repelled by the mountain guns, and both sides settled down to an uneasy siege.
However, Hashemite guns were slowly brought up to Tā'if, and then the city held out a little longer; it finally surrendered on 22 September.
The city thus later became a part of the self-proclaimed Hashemite Kingdom of Hejaz.
1924 – present: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
1924: Conquest by the Ikhwan under Abdulaziz al-Saud
Ta'if did not remain in Hashemite hands for very long time.
Tensions between the King of the Hejaz, Husayn ibn Ali, and Abdulaziz al-Saud, Sultan of Nejd, soon broke out into violence.
Although hostilities were temporarily patched up in 1919, by September 1924 the then Saudi-sponsored Ikhwan under the leadership of Sultan bin Bajad and Khaled bin Luwai was ready to attack Ta'if.
The city was supposed to have been defended by the king's son, Ali, but he fled in panic with his troops.
300 of them were slain by the Ikhwan.
In 1926 Abdulaziz al-Saud was officially recognized as the new king of Hejaz.
Ta'if remained a part of the Kingdom of Hejaz until Abdulaziz al-Saud unified his two kingdoms into one under the title of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932.
The king himself was later to die in the city on 9 November 1953.
1940s: Modernization under the Saudis
Ta'if was still little more than a medieval city when the Saudis took control of it.
However, they later stared to modernize the city.
Saudi Arabia's first public power generator was set up in Ta'if in the late 1940s.
In terms of building roads to the city, in 1965 the then King Faisal inaugurated the  mountain highway between Mecca and Ta'if, and in 1974 the 400 mile Ta'if-Abha-Jizan highway was started.

Bipolar disorder in children, more well known as pediatric bipolar disorder, is a very serious condition that affects children and adolescents.
Identifying bipolar disorder for children and teenagers may be challenging-certain symptoms are very different from adults.
Children and teens often have depressed moods mixed with mania taking place almost every day and sometimes at exactly the same time.
Diagnosis of bipolar disorder in children and adolescents is controversial, however.
This condition often leads to impairments of daily function, and people with bipolar disorder which is prior to 18 years of age are far more likely to commit suicide.
Pediatric bipolar disorder is far more acute in children and youth than in the adult population, with diagnoses at very early age.
In children or teens, mania often has serious psychotic troubles with mixed mania and depression episodes which are worse and for more erratic times than in adults.
Certain medications for this condition may have strong side effects for those under 18.
Most bipolar children have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

It was written by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1806 for Franz Clement, first violinist and conductor of the Theatre an der Wien orchestra.
It met with lukewarm approval.
It did not receive its rightful due until 1844 when it was conducted in London by Mendelssohn.
The concerto opens with a few strokes on the timpani that led some music lovers to call the work the "Kettledrum Concerto".
The first movement lasts about 25 minutes.
The second movement is serene and free from the dramatic turbulence of the first.
The third movement displays a happy liveliness and makes great demands upon the soloist's skills.

Coriaria is a genus of plants.
It is the only genus currently known in the Coriariaceae family.
About 15-20 species are currently known.
Most of the species are shrubs but some are subshrubs (small shrubs) or small trees.
Leaves are simple, opposite or whorled, with 3 to 9 major veins coming from the base.
The fruits look like berries but they are small nuts (achenes) protected by enlarged and colored petals.
Fruits cannot be eaten because their seeds are poisonous; in some species, mainly those from New Zealand, the petals that protect the true fruits can be eaten.
Several species of this genus can fix nitrogen from the air because they have bacteria of genus Frankia in their roots.
The name of the genus Coriaria was given by Linnaeus in 1753 in Species Plantarum (Vol.
2, page 1037).
The type species is Coriaria myrtifolia L.
Coriaria comes from the Latin word corium, meaning "leather" because these plants have a substance named tannin which is used to make leather from skins.
The genus has a very interesting geographic distribution.
It is found in 5 regions:
Western Mediterranean (Portugal, Spain, Balearic Islands, France, Italy near France, Morocco, Algeria)
Southern and eastern Asia (Pakistan to central China)
Islands of eastern Asia (Japan, Taiwan, Philippines)
Pacific islands (New Guinea, Samoa, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Zealand).
New Zealand is the place where there are more different species of Coriaria.
America (Mexico to Peru and other group in Chile and western Argentine).
Some species of Coriaria are used to produce leather from skins of different animals (cattle, horses).
In New Zealand, the Maori people make a juice with the "fruits" (actually the petals) of "tutu".
In Chile, the nuts are used to make poison for rats and mice.
Because they produce many bright, colored fruits, some species of Coriaria are used as ornamental plants.
In the genus Coriaria (y en la familia Coriariaceae) there are about 17 species.

A spaceport is a place for spacecraft to launch or land.
It may have launch pads for rocket, and many buildings for preparing and launching space flights.
In real life, there are very few space ports across the world.
They are mostly owned by government agencies, for example NASA.
They are used to launch scientific research missions, launch man-made satellites and animals.
However, science fiction stories set in the future often have spaceports that are more like modern airports.
