tiotusenkronorsfråga


Explanation:
Another suggestion. The program that coined the term no longer exists (Kvitt eller dubbelt eller tiotusenkronorsfrågan), but the term is still used figuratively and has the connotations of suspense, winning or losing everything, i.e. potentially getting killed by the question.
