D. The Time of the Ancient Mariner is correct! (audience applause) An eerie, albeit fascinating story. I seem to remember that there is an English idiom that goes, "The albatross around one's neck," referring to a mistake someone made in the past, the consequences of which he or she still has to bear. I'd be very surprised if this wasn't a reference to Coleridge's poem. (James picks up the dice) Now, the 3 dice will total anywhere between 3 to 18. Everything's good, so roll the dice! (James does that)    The dice total 13. [XX]--[2]--[3]--[4]

As you can see, we got some Bad Rolls. They are 4, 6, and 7. You don't have any Insurance Markers, which means that if you roll one of them without any Doubles, you'll lose all of those prizes, and you'll be out for the rest of the round. So, what are you going to do? Are you going to roll or pass the dice to one of your opponents? |

OK, James. Go ahead. (James rolls the dice) And it's a Double! (Doubles!)Here's an Insurance Marker for that Double. Also, the dice total 14, and it looks like there's only one way on how to take off the 14, and that's 3 and 11, so let's find out what's behind those numbers... [XX]--[2]--[3]--[XX]

[?]--[?]--[XX]--[XX] James, the other half of the trip to Hawaii is still out there somewhere, but it's going to get harder to get it as there are only 4 numbers left on the board and the Good Rolls have been reduced dramatically here, so now, control is even more important as we go into our next question. This one is a little long, so listen carefully. On February 22nd 1797, the French "Black Legion" landed at Fishguard in Wales, to invade Britain. They stopped when they discovered cargo from a run-aground ship. What was this cargo?A. Strapping Welsh fisherman B. Pictures of scantily clad ladies C. Onions D. Brandy Matt: 48 Josh: 44 James: 25 Magic #: 15 (Buzz-In!)And James buzzes in! What's your answer? |

Brandy is correct! (audience applause) They stumbled across a whole ship-full of fine Portuguese brandy, which they proceeded to drink heartily. A local girl called Jemima Nicholas later rounded up 12 invaders singlehandedly with a pitchfork, such was the state the would-be invaders were in afterward! This was the last time a foreign invasion force actually set foot on mainland British soil. (James picks up the dice) [XX]--[2]--[XX]--[XX]

Now, look at this. The good rolls are 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17 and 18. You have 1 Insurance Marker and the other half of the Hawaii trip is somewhere hidden within the 4 numbers. Are you going to roll or pass the dice to one of your opponents? |

And Judo is the right answer! (audience applause) This question of course refers to the belt colors worn in many martial arts to distinguish between the levels of ability. Usually, belt colors progress from the beginner's white over light colors (yellow, orange), to darker colors (green, blue, purple, brown) and finally to the master's black belt.

Now, if this next roll is not a 9 or a 10, or a Double, you are out of this round. So go ahead and roll them. (James rolls the dice) And the roll is... a TRIPLE! (audience applause) Now, here's the good news James. For rolling a Triple, you have earned a Super Insurance Marker. With that, you can trade it for 3 Insurance Markers between rounds. HOWEVER! The bad news is that you CANNOT trade a Super Insurance Marker DURING any rounds, AND they CANNOT save you from a Bad Roll, so therefore, that roll is 18 results in a... (BAD ROLL!
