2. How many categories were originally used for the 'Winner's Circle' round on 'The Pyramid'?

Answer: 10

During creation of the game, the game board was constructed with 10 boxes for the bonus round. However, the producers found that trying to guess 10 subjects in 60 seconds was almost impossible, so they boarded up the bottom four boxes and changed the number of subjects to six. You can easily see the cover-up job in the 70's shows.
