Let's begin. All deadlines are 48 hours and away we go.
(cue intro)
Rich: And now, a game of high stakes! Where every decision is a gamble and every move could be your last. High Rollers! (1987 main theme) And here's the man with all the action, Mark Liotta! (I come out to a tremendous applause from the audience)
Me: Thank you. Thank you, Rich. And thank you very much, audience. You're terrific, as always. (Theme fades out) Welcome once again to another exciting edition of High Rollers, folks. Our Big Numbers jackpot is worth $40,000 today and at the end of this half hour, one of our two players will have an opportunity to take that money home. Rich, introduce us to today's contestants please.
Rich: Our returning champion is a tax consultant from Rhode Island, please welcome back Kevin Kolsen! Kevin has a one day total of $17,409 and opposing Kevin today is Matt Riggenberg.
Me: Pleasure to have you here again, Matt. We understand that you participated in some Special Olympics events just recently. How did those turn out for you?

Very good. Well then, I say we proceed with our game. We've got some good stuff for you guys to take home, and Rich is going to tell you all about them.
Rich: In column number one, a set of men's golf clubs! The Adams Men's Tight Lies Full Set golf clubs is one set for all shots. Retail value: $2,500. In column two, a trip to Jamaica! You and a friend will fly from Los Angeles to Kingston, Jamaica to enjoy a six night stay at a luxurious beach hotel. You'll also enjoy fine dining and entertainment. Retail value: $12,312! And in column three, $5,000 in cash! This makes column one worth a grand total of $19,812.
Me: All right, let's load up the numbers and see what our hot column is.
5 3 2
4 9 7
8 6 1
Column three is our hot column for this first round, and here's our first question. What 1953 Ray Bradbury science fiction classic is named after the temperature at which paper burns?

And let's go to our next question. The suspenseful 1963 Alfred Hitchcock film, the Birds, was set in what San Francisco Bay coastal town?

(I turn to the judges; buzzer. I turn back to Matt) I'm afraid we can't accept that. The answer we needed was a nautical mile. Kevin, the only bad number is a 4 so will it be roll or pass?

It's a five, and the only way we can take it out is the five itself.

And here's our next question. In 1933, two-thirds of American homes owned one of these household appliances. Today 99% of all homes have one or two or even ten of them. What are they?

A majority of homes have radios. Maybe we can do better with the next one. With a vertical drop of 3200 feet, what is the world's highest waterfall?

Good guess, but it's actually Angel Falls. 4 and 5 are the bad numbers now, Kevin; roll or pass?
