Crag: The Numbers Game (Syn., Episode 23)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Champ says 5 POTUSes have the first name of James -- not counting President Carter. Is that right?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes. Madison, Monroe, Polk, Buchanan and Garfield are the others.


(rolling sfx)

Okay, champ, let's see you pad your lead.

[redrangerdude]

BFE

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

There's a 1.

(ding)

There's a 2.

(ding) (scattered groans)

And another 2 for a whopping 5 pernts.

Lenny, dumb question -- but I must ask it. Want a fiver or another roll?

[redrangerdude]

Reroll all of them. (FCC)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Can't say as I blame ya. When rerolling dice, you don't have to freeze anything and reroll everything.

(rolling sfx)

So that's what's happening. Let's see if you can do better.

(ding)

Stop on a 5.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

Stop on a *3*.

(ding) (loud groans from the crowd)

Ohh -- one point shy of the lucky 13. But close only counts in horseshoes and slow dancing with Kym Johnson.

(scattered laughter from the crowd)

If anything good comes out of this, Lenny, you're a Crag away from winning Game 1. Ian, as long Lenny doesn't roll that Crag, you're still in business.

[dougmorrisontheair]

[NOTE FROM DOUG: Since I bumped the wrong player on the originally intended Round 5 question, I'm throwing it out and replacing it with a new one. Also, due to my previously announced brief absence, the player who "buzzes in first" to this replacement Round 5 question gets extra time to respond.]

(ding)

Annnd -- let's go to a TV trivia question as we start Round 5.

(Ian buzzes in)

Ian?

[Deleted]

4?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Ian guesses the name of the show is "Salvage 4". Is that right? (buzz) No -- sorry.

Lenny, chance to steal.

(ding)

Complete the title of this short-lived TV series that starred Andy Griffith with a single digit number: "Salvage..."

Lenny, is the title of the show "Salvage 1", "Salvage 2" or "Salvage 3"?

[redrangerdude]

Salvage 1?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Champ guesses the show's called "Salvage 1". Is that right?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes. Andy played a scrapyard dealer. He wanted to go to Earth's moon, gather the junk there, bring it back to terra firma and sell it.

(rolling sfx)

Lenny, a Crag wins this first game of the match for you. Ian, if you know any hexes, now's the time to try them.

Stop the dice when you're ready, Lenny.

[redrangerdude]

BAF

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 5.

(ding)

Stop on a 2.

(ding)

And a 4 totals 11.

Well -- obviously won't clinch the win. Want the 11 points or another roll?

[redrangerdude]

Freeze the 5. CE

[dougmorrisontheair]

Freezing the 5. Very well.

(freeze sfx) (rolling sfx)

There they go. Let's see if you can win it here.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

There's a 5!

(dings; audience cheers)

That's a Crag and that's the game!

(walks over to Lenny's podium)

Wow. Lenny -- $2500 for cracking the 100 point barrier. And for the first Crag in the match, I present you with another...

Game 2 starts as we -- do the math.

(Ian buzzes in)

Ian?

[Deleted]

2?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Ian guesses the answer's 2. Is that right?

(buzz)

No -- sorry. Lenny, chance to steal

(ding)

Choices come from the non-Crag 13 components.

Again, according to the Periodic table, nickel's atomic number divided by nitrogen's atomic number equals what single digit number? Lenny, is the right answer 3, 4 or 6?

[redrangerdude]

I'm guessing 4?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Lenny's guessing 4. Does that guess pay off?

(ding; audience applause)

Yeppers. Nickel's atomic number is 28; nitrogen's atomic number is 7. So, 28 divided by 7 equals 4.



(rolling sfx)

Good guess by the champ gives him the first roll of Game 2.

[redrangerdude]

DDF

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 1.

(ding)

Stop on a 2.

(ding)

And stop on a 6. Well -- would you like 9 points or another roll.

[redrangerdude]

Freeze the 6 DC

[dougmorrisontheair]

Rerolling the first two dice. Very well.

(freeze sfx)

(rolling sfx)

There they go -- and let's see if you can improve.

(ding)

There's a 2.

(ding) (scattered groans)

Oh -- and there's a 6. Overshot the lucky 13 by 1.

Oh well. Fourteen to nothing after one round. Round 2 question's on literature.

Missing digit question: I'll show you the number of hats Bartholomew Cubbins had, according to the title of one of Dr. Seuss's books, and you tell me the missing digit.

Ian?

[Deleted]

3?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Ian's guessing 300 hats. Is this book titled "The 300 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins"?

(buzz)

No. Sorry. Lenny, chance to steal.

(ding)

Choices come courtesy of the non-Crag 13. Again, Lenny, this is the number of hats Bartholomew Cubbins had, according to the title of one of Dr. Seuss's books. Is the missing digit 2, 5 or 6?

[redrangerdude]

500 (FDA)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Lenny says the missing digit is 5. Is this book titled "The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins"?

(ding; audience applause)

(rolling sfx)

There ya go -- and the dice roll for you.

(ding)

Stop on a 2.

(ding)

Stop on a 4.

(ding)

And stop on another 4. Well -- want the 10 points or another shot?

[redrangerdude]

Freeze the fours. (C)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Somehow, I'm not surprised.

(freeze sfx)

(rolling sfx)

You'd love a 5; a 4 would be the next best number to stop on.

(ding) (scattered groans)

But you get a 3 instead.

After Round 2:

Ian didn't mind that at all. Lenny leads 25 to nothing. Next question's on fun and games.
