(a smattering of applause in the audience)  That's how I would have played it too Kevin, especially without any bonus and since $160 is one of those in between numbers, like a 55 for the first spinner during the Showcase Showdown. Let's see if Kevin can stuff his bank stocking more, or if James or Kourtney will perhaps increase their spending funds. First we need to add one new category... (sliding in)  Weights & Measures is our new subject. Fellas, you know the drill, please submit a code to me via private message higher than 0 but lower than 100 at your earliest possible convenience. |

Kevin and James have locked in. Just waiting for Kourtney's code.

 The code this time is 92...  And wouldn't you know it, Kevin is closest again! Well done. Kevin selected M and the category of WEIGHTS & MEASURES...  A big $100 more if you win this contract Kevin, will bring you up to $260...  No bonus, but with a total of $260, you'd hardly need it. First question... There are 16 ounces in one fluid half pint. |

False.

Post by billmcdee on Dec 21, 2016 18:37:00 GMT -5
It is one full pint, not one half pint, so false is indeed correct, well done.  In the United States four bushels equals one peck. |

I'll say true.

 Oh those writers are tricky sometimes. It's false... In the United States four bushels do NOT equal one peck. Why you may ask? Because it is four PECKS that equal ONE bushel. They switched it around. That's okay though, you're allowed one incorrect answer. Let's try with this... One kilogram is equivalent to more than two pounds. |

True.

2.2 to be exact.  For $100 more Kevin... If you were playing American football, you would have run more than 9 meters if you ran 10 yards. |

Ooh wow, tricky question. I think that's true.

9.144 and you have another hundred bucks!   Dare I assume you want to have a try at the board now Kevin? You have almost enough money to purchase the maximum number of boxes available to you. |

I'll go to the board.

 Very well Kevin. The board is yours. Have at it, and good luck in achieving your second match in this game. |

$40 on the blue.

$40 on the Blue... (Flip)  This is our HAT board, but this is a special board, and I'll tell you why. We replaced the Sailor hats with Santa hats, and there are, in fact three on the board, and you uncovered one just now. If you uncover the other 2 Santa hats and that becomes your match, not only will you win the cash award behind it, but you and your other two challengers will win a $5,000 bonus! (Whoooah!!! from the audience). $220 left to spend still, and you have the knowledge that the Santa hat is indeed up there somewhere in each of the other 2 columns. Where to now Kevin? |

Sounds good to me! $30 on the green.

$30 on the Green... (flip)  (Screams of delight in the audience) Oh Kevin! You realize now you have a THREE out of FOUR shot at getting another match for yourself, plus winning a $5,000 bonus for you and your two opponents? Furthermore, if you find the third Santa hat on this next pick, the cash award attached to that box will be worth DOUBLE the money to you as well! Which one Kevin? This is a BIGGIE! |

Oh man... Please let it be under the $20-red box!

Post by billmcdee on Dec 23, 2016 23:35:09 GMT -5
20 on the Red... (flip)  (groans) Cowboy hat. Still have a 2 out of 3 shot at that third Santa hat though. |

Post by koopakid17 on Dec 23, 2016 23:38:41 GMT -5
I'll go down to the yellow for $20.

$20 on the Yellow... (flip)  (More groans) Straw hat...not it. 50/50 shot here Kevin. Where to now? |
|

Post by koopakid17 on Dec 23, 2016 23:50:05 GMT -5
I'll try same column, blue box.

$20 on the Blue, last chance for $5,000 for all 3 players today! (flip)  (Gasps & groans) That's too bad. Obviously the Santa hat was under 20 on the Green. Unfortunately that $20 column is now closed, but you can still make a match for yourself Kevin and earn some cash. $130 left to spend. Where to next? |

*facepalm* Let's try $40 on yellow.

Post by billmcdee on Dec 24, 2016 0:06:40 GMT -5
$40 on the Yellow... (flip)  Another Top Hat. You have enough to buy two more boxes in the $30 column if you want, or one in the $40 and one in the $30. How do you want to play it Kevin? |

I'll try $30 on the red.

Looking for a third top hat... (flip)  That gets you another Straw Hat instead. Kevin, you can try for a Top hat in the 30 column or a Straw hat in the 40 column. One way or the other, this will be your last pick. Good luck! |

Not good... I will settle for $40 under the green.

40 on the Green...  (Loud gasps and moans) And my goodness, a very busy board, but no match to show for it. So very sorry Kevin, and you started out like gangbusters too!  The remaining $20 goes back to you, and you still have one match in this game, James no matches and Kourtney still with one match as well...  The big board has proven most stingy today for our contestants, sorry to say. We'll be back with a final thought or two, right after, these words. |
