If the question is answered wrongly, they step closer to the Drop Zone. However, if the question is answered correctly, the contestant gets to choose another contestant to get sent one step further into the Drop Zone. After the contestant taken three steps forward, they find themselves in the Drop Zone and Sniff will ask the losing contestant a riddle called the "Question Impossible" which will get answered incorrectly.
