I'm afraid Kit that you may have to start again, using the new rules. I
don't know where you got these rules from, but I'm assuming that you've
already played a game with these rules. TT then uses these original rules
for any new games, until you change them. In algebra (?)

If you played a game with 'x' rules, then any future games will be played
with them also, rather than having 'y' rules (where y stands for the correct
rules)

About your query on the loan then i mean �500,000. This becomes $1,000,000.
The game handles this by doubling all costs from the � option.

If you don't want to start again, fine. But it will make things harder for
yourself, as everyone else will only have 1 competitor
