To begin, 10 categories are shown; 2 of them are 1st grade level questions, 2 of them are 2nd grade level questions, and so on all the way to 5th grade. The contestant must pick a category and answer the corresponding question. For example, "What is wrong with this sentence - John bake many cookies." would be a 2nd grade grammar question. The contestant must give a correct response and 'lock it in' by pushing a button on his/her 'podium.' Each question has a monetary value, as follows:$1,000$2,000$5,000$10,000$25,000$50,000$100,000$175,000$300,000$500,000Every 2 questions, the contestant must pick 1 of the 5 'students' in case the contestant needs help. The students, one of which will be at a smaller podium, must write down their answer, and in the case of the student at the podium, lock it in. The contestant may 'peek' at the student's answer, and he/she may 'copy' their answer and lock that in. If a contestant answers a question incorrectly, he/she will drop to either $0 or $25,000 (depending on how far they are) unless the student has it right, in which case they will be 'saved.' The 'cheats' may only be used once and only once.At any point, the contestant may 'drop out' of school and walk away. If a contestant answers incorrectly, they are said to have 'flunked out' of school. If any of these happen, the contestant must say in front of the camera, "I am not smarter than a 5th grader."The only case in which the contestant can not say that is if they win the top prize of $1,000,000. Until $500,000, the contestant can 'drop out' of the game anytime, but at the $1,000,000, they can only see the final category, which will always be a 5th grade category. Should they choose to go on, they cannot drop out and would therefore be risking $475,000 on the million-dollar question. To date, 2 contestants have answered the million-dollar question correctly, and 7 have walked with $500,000.For more information, see the Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader article at Wikipedia using this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Are_You_Smarter_Than_A_Fifth_Grader%3F/.

It's from a game show. Originally, it was "the 64,000 dollar question" because that was the ultimate prize if a contestant answered the hardest question on the show. Nowadays, the phrase just means "the most important question" about a situation.
The phrase is "sixty-four thousand dollar question," and it came from a Fifties TV show in which it was the most valuable and presumably the most difficult question.
A dollar is a unit of currency, used in many countries of the world, including the United States, Canada, Barbados, and the Bahamas.Please rephrase question your question.

The question that represents the highest curiosity. This means a very difficult question to find the answer for and a question so difficult that whoever answers it gets a million dollars.Another AnswerIn any problem solving situation or mystery, It is necessary to take all the available information and use it to realize the actual problem.
