Patseen already receiving our Crag video game. Now he'll get some hardware for it. Again, players, good luck to both of you. Much like the regular dice game of Crag, our game is all about numbers -- particularly the numbers you can roll on dice. The right answer to each question on our show is a number between 1 and 6 inclusive. Sometimes, we'll ask for the Roman numeral or ordinal equivalent of one of those numbers -- perhaps even a spelled-out word (between "one" and "six" inclusive). We often have missing digit questions. I'll explain how they work later. (ding)Right now, we're starting off our first numbers game with a single digit question. And here it comes. Single digit question: When talking about the Mitsubishi corporation, "Mitsubishi" means how many diamonds in English?

Challenger says Mitsubishi means 3 diamonds. Is that right? (ding; audience applause)That's right. In fact, the company's logo includes 3 diamonds. Frank, with that correct answer, you have two rolls of our three Crag dice. If you like your first roll, take the points associated with your combination and we'll end the round. But if you'd like a reroll, you may freeze up to two numbers and reroll the remaining dice. These are the ways to score big here on Crag. There are four different straights worth 20 points. The numbers 1-2-3 make a low straight; 4-5-6 a high straight; 1-3-5 an odd straight and 2-4-6 an even straight. Order of the numbers matters not -- just as long as they're all different and they're all low, high, odd or even. Anytime you roll three of the same number, that's a triple for 25 points. And as we often point out, 13 is a lucky number in Crag. Anytime the dice total 13, we'll double the sum for 26 points. *But* if you have a pair of numbers and an odd number total 13 on the board, that's a Crag -- and it's worth 50 big points. (rolling sfx)Frank, the dice are rolling right now. please stop the dice, one at a time, as they lock into your buzzer.
[NOTE FROM DOUG: Frank, please "stop the dice" with three letters from A to F inclusive. You may repeat letters if you think that helps.] |

(ding)Stop on a 6. (ding)Stop on a 5. (ding)(scattered cheers) And stop on another 5. Now that's not one of the combinations worth 20 or more -- but it's a pretty good combination. Frank, you may take the sum of the dice in points -- 16 in this case -- or you may freeze up to two of the dice and reroll the rest.

Taking the points and the early 16-point lead. Round 2's about to start. Before we do, a reminder. It takes 100 points to win a game of Crag. If no one reaches 100 after ten completed rounds, the player closer to 100 wins. Winner of each game collects $2500; runner-up earns $500. I also have ten crisp new $100 bills to put in the hands of the first player in this match to roll a Crag. The first player to rack up $5000 wins the match -- and goes on to the Super Crag -- where the mega bonus of $1,000,000 waits to be won. (audience cheers) Now to a Round 2 question about basketball. Single digit question: Michael Jordan won how many championships with the Chicago Bulls?

Six championships, the champ says. Does he say right? (ding; audience applause)Yeppers. My Spurs are close behind with 5. (rolling sfx)Patseen, dice are yours for the first time. (ding)Stop on a 2. (ding)Stop on a 1. (ding)And stop on a 4. Well, dice total 7 points if you stop the round here. Frank currently leads 16 to nothing. |

Reroll the whole board. That's allowed. (rolling sfx) All three dice go again. (ding)Stop on a 5. (ding) (scattered cheers) Stop on a 4.  (ding) (loud groans from the crowd) And a 5 on the end. Close to a Crag. After Round 2:
  patpun2016
 grapebuy789 Frank was doing the ol' bit from "Whew!" -- wiping the sweat from his brow. Two-point game as we start a missing digit question. We'll play a sample question first. (ding)On "The Gong Show" revival hosted by Tommy Maitland, the winning act receives a cash prize of 2000 dollars plus a certain number of cents. We have that amount of pennies on the board. All you have to do is tell us the digit in the amount represented by the question mark. And in this case, that missing digit is... (ding)...a 1 for a total of 2000 big ones and 17 little ones. And we've now cleared the board. So let's get ready for the next question. Missing digit question: Kiefer Sutherland starred as Jack Bauer, an agent with the Counter Terrorist Unit, on a popular television series. I'll show you the show's title -- and you tell me the missing digit.(ding)38 patpun2016

Well, I'll embrace this best non-combi roll.
But, maybe I can get a Crag, or maybe three sixes, so let me take a risk and roll the five again. (C)

Frank says the solution is 1. Did he solve it correctly? (ding; audience applause)He did. The "a" equals "99 Luftballons"; the "b" equals "99 Problems". So, in the simplest of division problems, 99 divided by 99 gives ya 1. (rolling sfx)Frank, dice are back in your control. A good roll can give you back the lead. |

Frank guesses 4 letters are in their right spots. Is that right? (buzz)No. Sorry. Patseen, here comes a chance to steal control of the dice. Now, normally, the Crag dice up there would offer three possible answers. But because we don't want to divert your attention from the eggs... (ding)...the possible choices appear above said eggs. And I'll repeat the question. With the eggs, we've scrambled the identity of a well-known first. Tell us how many of the eight letters are in their correct positions.Patseen, is the right answer 1, 2 or 3 letters? |
