Press Your Luck 2016 - Episode 2 - COMPLETE!

[dad90]

Hello, everyone! I'm back, and I'm GETTING A NEW COMPUTER SOON! It's past due, and I've got it since 2001. Yeah, 15 years with this computer, but now, it's time for a new one.

Also, my USB was corrupted, and I had to pay over $1,250 to restore the data. Yeah...

And, after 5 years of being laid off, my dad finally got a Job! Actually, 2-3 Jobs at once! Now, we're a working family again.

ANYWAYS! With all of that out of the way, it's now time for Press Your Luck 2016 (Episode 2, Overall), and if you haven't seen the first episode, you should check it out now. It also has the rules and how the game works in there.

Now Matt, aka mringgenberg, is our current champion, and I need for him to check in, and if you want to challenge Matt, sign in here.

#LetsGo for Big Bucks!

[dad90]

Fantastic! I'll get the game ready tomorrow night.

[dad90]

Rich Fields: Tonight, these 3 players are after Big Bucks! But they'll have to avoid the Whammy as they play the most exciting game of their lives!



From CBS Television City in Hollywood and in CyberSpace from the Net Game Central, it's time to Press Your Luck!







And now, here's your host, the star of Press Your Luck, the Dreaded Dayo Kayode!

(DK appears from stage right as turntable turns around and audience cheers and applause)

DK: Thank you, Rich Fields! And welcome once again to Press Your Luck, where we can now give away more cash and prizes than ever before, but the Whammy has got something to say about that!

Now, let's meet our players! First, is our returning champion, Matt, aka mringgenberg, who has won $45,986 thus far!

Matt, tell the nice folks about yourself, and what are you going to do with all of that money.

[mringgenberg]

Maybe refurbish my home.

[dad90]

And should you win the $1,000,000 prize in Round 2, what are you going to do?

[mringgenberg]

Not pretty sure yet.

[dad90]

Well, we'll see what happens in your second game as we have 2 new opponents here trying to dethrone you.

First, let's welcome partyofmii to the show.

(audience applause)

partyofmii, a recent newcomer here to the forum. Welcome. Tell the nice folks out there about yourself, where you're from and what you do.

[Deleted]

Hi, I'm Sheldon Lewis II, I'm from Buffalo, NY, and I'm a high school student and amateur game show host.

[dad90]

An amateur game show host, huh? I host game shows on forums for over 10 years, and I'm still going strong! Hopefully, this show and many other shows I host here will give you some much-needed tips.

And to complete the pack, we have stratonascar!

(audience applause)

Tell the nice folks about yourself, and based on your forum username, I assume you have a liking to NASCAR. And if so, have you watched this year's Daytona 500?

[Deleted]

Well I Listened it to the Radio, and Denny Hamlin won.

[dad90]

Ah yes, and what do we know about you in general?

[Deleted]

However I work at CIWP

[dad90]

Good luck to you stratonascar, and good luck to all players!

Now, we need to introduce one more important aspect: It's our Main Attraction of the show, The Big Board!

	P	R	E	SS

	L	U	C	K

As the board spins, let me tell you how this game works quickly. It's played in two rounds, in which they each consist of two halves: The Question Round and the Big Board Round. First, I'll be asking a series of four questions in the first half of the round, and I hope you give me some good answers. The first player who can get close to my Magic Number between 1-50 will get to buzz in and answer the question. And then, that answer becomes one of three choices for the remaining 2 players. A correct buzz-in answer will give you 3 spins, and a correct multiple-choice will earn you 1 spin. The more spins you have, the more money you could make (or break) at the second half of the round: The Big Board. And the Big Board itself is now computerized and it's filled with hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and prizes. And anytime you stop the board like this....

STOP!

$2000	$1250	$1000	$10,000 + One Spin	Whammy	Pick A Corner
$500 + One Spin	P	R	E	SS	$500
Across The Board	Y	O	U	R	$1000 + One Spin
$1500 + One Spin	L	U	C	K
Truck	$3500	$3000	Whammy	Advance 2 Spaces	Add A One

That's what you don't want to do; hit a Whammy. Because if you do, then you'll lose everything that you've won up to that point, and if you get 4 of them, you will be VERY sorry.

Now, the player at the end of the game that's earned the most money is our champion, and will also earn the right to play the Big Bonus Board for hundreds of thousands of dollars in cold hard cash, AND the right to come back and do it all over again.

[dad90]

OK, Matt, Sheldon, and stratonascar. Prepare yourselves. We're about to enter our first Question Round. Remember, a Buzz-In answer will give you 3 spins, while a correct Multiple Choice answer gives you 1 spin.

Here's the first Question.

WARNING: This one is pretty tricky...

Question #1: You are playing a game of tennis and the score is 40-30 in your opponent's favour. What is the least number of points you must win to take the game?

[dad90]

(stratonascar Buzzes In)

Matt: 0
Sheldon: 16
stratonascar: 35

Magic #: 29

And stratonascar buzzes in. What's your answer?

[Deleted]

10

[dad90]

Is the correct answer:

10
5
3

Matt and Sheldon, you may answer now.

[Deleted]

It's 3.

[mringgenberg]

3

[dad90]

stratonascar, I think you need to pay more attention in Tennis, because it's actually 3 points you need at least to win the game.

10
5
3

Which means that Matt and Sheldon each get 1 spin.



(ding) (ding)

You see, you have to win the next point or else your opponent wins the game. That point brings the score to deuce (40-40). Your next point takes it to advantage, and a following point wins you the game. At any time when the person without advantage wins a point, the score returns to deuce.

With that said, here's the next question.

Question #2: In The Simpsons, what was the name of Bart Simpson's pet elephant in season five?

[dad90]

(stratonascar Buzzes In)

Matt: 49
Sheldon: 0
stratonascar: 31

Magic #: 7

And stratonascar buzzes in. What's your answer?

[Deleted]

Stampy

[dad90]

Is the correct answer:

STAMPY
HOMER
HUGO

Matt and Sheldon, you may answer now.

[mringgenberg]

Stampy

[Deleted]

Stampy, I guess

[dad90]

After winning the KBBL radio show contest, Bart named his elephant Stampy!

STAMPY
HOMER
HUGO

So Matt and Sheldon each get 1 spin, while stratonascar is on the board with a big 3 spins!

Now, this question starts with a quote, so listen carefully.

Quote: "If we lose I'll be chopped to pieces. My arms will end up in Essex, my torso in Norfolk, and my genitalia stuck in a tree somewhere in Rutland."

Question #3: Based on the Quote, which British TV comedy series does this come from?

[dad90]

(stratonascar Buzzes In)

Matt: 0
Sheldon: 0
stratonascar: 44

Magic #: --

Since the others don't know, stratonascar automatically buzzes in. What is your answer?
