Quoted from Xaqery:Ugh. Sorry for the confusion.
In competition mode Negative Reinforcment works like this:
You get X right answers.
Your (X + 1) guess will be wrong and you will get zero points.
X == how many ghost you have caught /10
For example:
55 ghost caught will equal 5 right answers.
114 ghost caught will equal 11 right answers.

This is pretty brilliant. Definitely adds a risk/reward to it, both in knowing that this is the rule in tournament mode, plus you can choose to make a few more shots before you try to collect for an extra right answer!
