    Abstract: A game allows contestants to access the Internet to answer questions, including solving problems. Contestants compete to quickly find answers to questions (and/or solutions to problems) using the Internet, with the first contestant to answer winning a prize or scoring points for that question. A contestant may be an individual or a plurality of individuals comprising a team. Contestants may be located in the same location or in geographically remote locations. After a determined number of questions, or a determined amount of time, the contestant with the most points wins the game and preferably a prize. Other contestants may receive consolation prizes. The winner may also advance to a timed bonus round for a grand prize. Ties between contestants may be resolved in a tiebreaker round.
