Despite the rules, one of the times they said the contestant won, and this time the contestant lost. I listened several times to the recording and both times were exactly the same. In the time it took the buzzer to begin and end, the contestant said the "essence" of the answer. BOTH times. The inconsistency of the judge cheapened the show.
