I thought about making it a real high limit like that, but I figure by starting with a low limit, everyone is guaranteed to get a chance :)
You got 6 for 6 :)

Another reason for the low limits is so it will be a close race. As the answers pour in, the limit goes up, and in the end, it's a race to see who will come out the winner 8)
