Abstract
An internet game show host program running on a server computer retrieves a visual clue that is associated with a correct textual answer. Each contestant interactively selects the portions of the visual clue to be exposed. The entire visual clue is loaded onto each of the contestants' computers prior to the beginning of each game, and the contestants' game software progressively exposes the visual clue. Contestants fill in a series of blanks with the answer and activate a send button. The contestants' game software sends the contestant's answer along with a time stamp indicating the time elapsed since the beginning of the internet game show. At the end of the internet game show, the game show host computer compares the times that the correct responses were sent. The correct response that contains the earliest send time is the winning response.
