This story is based upon a real life incident on such a game show in the 1950s, where contestants were given the answers to the questions.
Of course, with Richie being so squeaky clean, we all know he'll do the right thing in the end, but it's still good to see how he get's there.
Also to note with this episode is that Fonzie is seen to have his own garage repair shop for the first time (previously, he had been working in a larger garage with other mechanics). The men's room at Arnold's is gradually being defined as his 'office', too.
All-in-all, this is a nice story, and probably one of the series' most recognised episodes.moreless
AIRED:
As a game-show contestant, Richie wins $3200 before time runs out for that week's show. After the show, he is given an envelope by the show's host that contains the answer to the $5000 question.

NOTES (1)
ADD NOTES-
This episode was omitted from the rerun package that ABC aired on weekday mornings from 1975 through 1979. At that time, game shows were a fixture of weekday morning network TV. Apparently, a rerun of an episode about fixed game shows wouldn't fly well on a schedule full of real game shows.
