As I recall, the money doubled with each question, thus $100, $200, $400, etc. on up to $64,000 or some similar progression. Since then, it has become a figure of speech to refer to a difficult question as "the $64,000 question."
When I hear this reference I think about the show 'who wants to be a millionaire.'
No wonder I get this reference wrong. The actual reference was way before my time.
