  • Low Risk, Low Reward: Gain +0.4 points per correct guess, lose -0.2 points for a wrong guess.
  • Medium Risk, Medium Reward: Gain +0.5 points per correct guess, lose -0.3 points for a wrong guess.
  • High Risk, High Reward: Gain +0.9 points per correct guess, lose -0.6 points for a wrong guess.
