Which one is the better option? Am I missing something?

However, if you use the hint and get the answer right you will only lose 10 points - use 20 points for the hint and then win 10 points for right answer so total loss is just 10.

So better option is taking a hint, although it can be risky 😔

Raji , If I didnt send right answer I will lose 15 points , That is 5 for wrong or blank answer and 10 points , the value of the riddle answer .

In case I took Hint , I will lose 20 points , but if I got right answer with it , then I will get 10 points , in this case I won't lose the 5 points for wrong answer option . So my score loss will be 10 only .

So it is either 15 points loss without hint or 10 points loss with hint and getting it correct , there will be 35 points loss if you got it wrong with hint

It is a decision between 15 points loss or 10 points, but I'd I can't find it after hint it is 35 points

Only 5 points will be saved with hint ...I think you should just take a risk and send what your instinct tells you..

If I get all 5 answers correct, I will get 50 points.

If I get one wrong (-5) and 4 correct (+40), then I will get 35 points.

Let us assume, I am not sure about one of the answers.

Scenario A: I took a hint which costed me 20 points and now I got all 5 answers correct. I will earn 50 points for 5 correct answers and have to give 20 back for the hint, which leaves me with 30 points.

Scenario B: I took a hint which costed me 20 points and I still got it wrong. With one wrong answer, I will earn only 35 points as explained at the very beginning and I also have to return the 20 points for the hint, which leaves me with only 15 points.

Isn't it?

Cheers..
