ME: Indeed, a correct answer here will mean a vertical block.
This common Israeli name is frequently used as a toast among Jewish people. It can mean "life" or "to life," and it can also refer to a monetary gift given to Jewish teens upon celebrating their Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Since the Hebrew letters that spell out this word also stand for the number 18, it is considered especially lucky to gift this gift in multiples of $18. For $750 and the block....what is this Hebrew word?

ME: Judge, can we accept that? My answer was CHAIM or HAIM. JUDGE (over P.A.): Well, since you said the word could mean "to life," and "l'chaim" means just that, we will accept his answer! ME: Thanks, Judge (Applause...BONG-BONG!)! Marc, break for you, sir. The pot is at $9,500, and Frank is in a precarious position as we shuffle... (Shuffle effects)  ME: Consider your choice carefully, Frank. |

ME: Yes! Degas is the man (Applause)! Wow, now the pot is at five figures (BONG-BONG!). The next shuffle, though, could very well decide the fate of the game. Let's mix 'em up for Marc, please. (Shuffle effects)  (Audience gives a slight reaction) ME: Marc, your choices are WILD WEST, ISLANDS, or ART & ARTISTS. |

ME: Indeed, if you are right, Marc, it will be a win. Frank is crossing his fingers and his toes and just about anything else he can cross right now. Here's the question.
Since the 1980s, Australian tourists have flocked to this island in droves. Unfortunately, they accounted for 88 of the over 200 killed there in 2002 when violent Islamists set off three bombs inside or near popular tourist bars. Despite being attacked again just three years later, tourism has picked up and has surpassed pre-2002 levels. For your THIRD Tic Tac Dough, $11,000 in cash, and a grand total of THIRTY-FOUR THOUSAND AND EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS.....name this Southeast Asian island.

ME: Marc, you have won (Applause as win theme plays...BONG-BONG!)!  ME: Congratulations on your third victory. I'll be back to talk with you a moment while you let it settle in. Well, Frank, against Marc, you kind of need to get the best blocks as early as you can. However, hindsight being 20-20 and all, you are by no means a loser. Since you tied one game, you've won $500, and for those seven Os you posted, we'll award an extra $700. All told, you have $1,200 consolation money and a big thanks for playing Tic Tac Dough. Frank Driscoll, everyone! (Audience cheers for Frank as he shakes Marc's hand and leaves his podium) ME: Marc, third time's gotta be a charm. Ready to do battle against the Dragon? |

ME: You know what to do, then. Come on up! (Applause as Marc runs toward center stage. Bonus Round cue plays.)  ME: Marc, this is your third time here, so I won't need to remind you of the rules, but I will remind you what's at stake: the IPHONE, the KARAOKE SYSTEM, the DIGITAL PIANO, and the 5-STAR TRIP TO LONDON. A total of $10,440 in prizes. Plus, with your loss last time, the Treasure is up to $13,000. Find a Tic Tac Dough in exactly three picks, and it's yours, along with the prizes.
