The 22nd.

The 22nd amendment is correct.
Now, this is a crucial situation. No insurance markers in play. The good rolls are 5, 6 and 11. Whoever rolls the 11 wins the first game. 5 or 6, the game goes on to a last question. Anything else, that's a loss. What do you want to do?

Michael, here are the dice. If you roll a 6 or a 5, the game continues. If you roll an 11, you win the game. Ready?   (groans) It's a seven... Evan wins Game 1! (applause) And, this time, Evan doesn't win the pity money, but this wonderful tennis ball machine worth $1,899. (applause)  Congratulations, Evan. But you know, it takes two games to win a match, so stay careful. Michael, same thing, so there's a next round for you to catch up. Second round right after this. (fade out - it will start when I return from the hospital) |

(fade in) Welcome back to High Rollers! Just before the break, our champion Evan won the first game of the match and a tennis ball machine. Right now, we need a new prize in Column 1. Rich? It's a table tennis table! The Butterfly Centerfold 25 Rollaway Table Tennis Table is tournament quality, as recognized by the many professional organizations and championships. A prize worth $2,500!(applause) What's the potential value of the board? The potential value of the board is $57,022!(applause) We still have two full columns, it would be great to see one won in this game. Let's load the board please.  Hot Column for this second game is Column 3. If you roll an 11, you can clear the column at once and if you do that, you've got a guaranteed cash bonus of $500 which becomes $5,000 if you win the game. Here's our first question. On the periodic table, what's the atomic number of carbon? |

6 is correct. Roll the dice.  It's a ten. What's your choice? |

5, 4, and 1.

 We have a bad roll already as we move on to our second question. True or false: The animal on the Firefox logo is actually a panda. |

I'll say it's true.

That's indeed true, it's a red panda.
4 is the only bad roll, roll or pass?

1/12 odds of that happening, I think. I'll go ahead and roll.

Less if you count the double 2. Roll the dice, then! (double SFX, applause) Boxcars! Here's an insurance marker for that. (hands an insurance marker to the hostess, who places it in front of Evan's podium) How do you want to play the 12? |

The nine and the three.

 (applause) You've cleared Column 1!  If you win this game, not only you'll win your fourteenth match, but you'll also take home a table tennis table worth $2,500. Plus, you've got this all important insurance marker while we go into dangerous territory with 4 numbers left on the board. New question. Saint Petersburg, Volgograd or Putingrad... (long silence, laughs) We're running out of questions, it seems. (laughs) Let's repeat the possibilities: Saint Petersburg, Volgograd or Putingrad (laughs): The city of Stalingrad hosted a famous battle during WW2. What is its current name? |

Actual code: 26 1st: Michael (23) 2nd: Evan (50)  Michael, your answer? Volgograd.
Putingrad might be the new name of Donetsk. (laughs) Volgograd is right. The bad rolls are 3, 4, 5 and 11. Evan has one insurance marker, you don't. Roll or pass? |

(mixed reactions) This is for survival in this match. If you roll something bad, Evan will win his 14th match as well as a table tennis table. Good luck.  (buzzer, double SFX) It's a four, but you're lucky because it's a double. No insurance marker for that, but no straightaway loss. Roll again... (buzzer, groans) It's a three... Evan remains champion! (cheers and applause)  Michael, what can I say... Dice weren't on your side today, and Evan is a great champion. You have some nice parting gifts waiting for you backstage, thanks for playing. (applause) Evan, this was a quick win, before we even get to the last question. You've cleared the first column, so you win a table tennis table worth $2,500, bringing your winnings over 420 grand. In just a moment, Evan will face the Big Numbers for $26,000 more. Stay tuned! (fade out) (tomorrow, I'm exhausted) |

(fade in)  Welcome back! Evan has won his 14th victory today and he's won over $420,000 in cash and prizes. You know how the Big Numbers work, but I'll remind the rules because there are certainly new people who watch this game for the first time. You'll clear the numbers the same way you did in the previous part. If you manage to knock down all 9, you'll get...  $26,000 more! (cheers and applause) However, if you make a bad roll without insurance markers to protect you, you still get $500 for each number down. You've carried to this stage of the game one insurance marker, so roll the dice and good luck.  A big 11 to start. |

 All rolls are good, you've got to roll again. (double SFX, cheers and applause) A big nice twelve! While our hostess is putting another insurance marker in front of your podium, what numbers do you want to take away? |

  Still no bad rolls, you're still safe. Roll again...  It's a four. No choice for you, let's remove the 1 and the 3...  The number of good rolls has decreased a lot. The good rolls are 2, 7, 9 and 11. Three chances to roll something good... (cheers) It's a seven! Take off the 7 please...  Now this is important. You could be one roll away from $26,000. Just roll an 11 right now. Good luck... (groans) One away. One insurance marker back, please...  2, 9 or 11. Two tries left... (cheers and applause) It's a nine!  Two chances to roll a two, is that possible? (next post) |

(audience cheering) (groans) No. Give me that orange device back, please.  Now, you're on your own to roll the snake eyes. Good luck... (buzzer, groans) The Big Numbers strike again... However, you do get $4,000 for eight numbers knocked off. That brings your 15-day total to...  Four hundred and twenty-four thousand, four hundred and seventy-five dollars in cash and prizes! (cheers and applause) Evan, I'm sorry things didn't go your way. But we'll see you tomorrow, and we have some good news for you. Do you want to know what it is? |

Tomorrow, you'll be looking for your 15th win. It's a multiple of five, so you can win this...
It's a new car! It's a 2015 Buick Encore, with all the standard features including a 2-liter 259-horsepower engine, automatic transmission, the Buick Encore! A terrific prize worth $29,840!
(cheers and applause) Here's the good news for you, Evan, and this car will be yours if you win tomorrow. Until then, remember: keep your child's soul to stay young. Bye!
