Sale of the Century: Question Round

[babytims]

Fellas, I goofed. Bill was supposed to answer, not Kevin, since he already answered. So since it's only a test, I'll give it to Bill.

*ding*

Kevin was right nonetheless. But Bill gets this one and a box of his choosing. Which top box holds the big money, Bill?

[billmcdee]

Since you gave me credit for this, I'll go with CREDIT.

[babytims]

Under "Credit", how much dough is there?

*cheers*

Another $10! Boy y'all getting real lucky 'round here!

*ding*

$20 to $10 to zilch so far. Kevin let's see you get on the board now. Here's the next question:

"Wrote 37 plays in his lifetime, and is the most influential playwright in modern times." Given the letter S, what's the answer?

Kevin: 44
Nels: 35
Bill: 20

Buzzcode: 61

*Kevin buzzes in*

Kevin to get on the board!

Under William:

Shakespeare.

[babytims]

Right on.

*ding, applause*

And you can get $5 or $10 right now...it all depends on what box you choose. Choose one, Kevin

[koopakid17]

Under Arthur.

[babytims]

Under Arthur we have some dough. Let's see how much money you win.

$10 again!

*cheers, ding*

$20 plays $10 and $10. Here's the last question in this half and the chance for y'all to pick up some more money. Here's the last puzzle in regulation:

*ding*

"CBS's full name". What's the answer?

Kevin: 40
Nels: 72
Bill: 54

Buzzcode: 71

*Nels buzzes in*

And it's Nels!

[nelson21]

Broadcasting

[babytims]

*buzz*

No sir. Who else wants to take a gander at it?

*Bill buzzes in*

Bill, how do you fill in that blank?

[billmcdee]

Keep the "C" right where it is...

TELEVISION CITY

[babytims]

Right!

*ding*

Now Bill for the last time this part of the round, choose a word box!

[billmcdee]

Since my real last name contains all 5 letters in this word, I'll take MEDIA

[babytims]

Under MEDIA we see...

$5! That goes to your bank...

*ding, applause*

*Instant Bargain cue* And that concludes our test round! Bill leads with $25 and thus would have a chance to buy a fabulous prize at a bargain price. Thank you so much fellas for taking part!

I'm liking this format, but of course I'm open for input and suggestions as well!

This is what's coming to your screens Monday morning, when $ale of The Century hits the NBC airwaves! 

Of course, if anyone has suggestions or input...please feel free to share!
