So joshallington says 45... ding! ...and mringgenberg says higher. ding! And the actual number of dentists who said that they hate having to perform root canals is... ding-ding-ding! ...67, so it is higher, and mringgenberg will play his cards first this time. What's the first card, Tiffany? (J ♥)It's a Jack. Now would you like to play it right away or change it? |

So mringgenberg will freeze, and we'll get into the third question.  mringgenberg, we asked 100 commuters: "Have you put a doll, mannequin or anything resembling a person in the passenger seat of your car in order to use the HOV lane?"How many of them said they have? |

If the next card is lower than a Jack, you win. Is it?
(Q ♣)

No, that's not it, and so, mringgenberg will get his chance to win, but he cannot change his card. Now mringgenberg, for the win, is the last card higher or lower than 10?

(1978 CS Win Cue)
You win again, and you will be playing the Money Cards in a moment, but joshallington, you put up a brave effort that just happened to fall short, but thanks for playing, and we hope you had fun. (1978 CS Theme) When we come back, mringgenberg will try to win a whole lot more green in the Money Cards. Find out how much he gets after these messages!

Welcome back to Card Sharks, and we're now ready to begin the Money Cards. mringgenberg, I will start you off with $500 betting cash. You can bet any amount on the next card, except when you get to the Big Bet, when you must then risk at least half of your bank. The amount you bet will be what you gain and lose on each card, and you can change your base on each row. Now if you bust on the first row, you can start again on the second row, but a second bust will end the game.  Now let's play the Money Cards! And here's your first card that Tiffany will show you. (J ⋄)It's a Jack; are you going to play it right now or change it? |

You go back to $7,700, but we will move that card to the last row, and as I said earlier, you must bet at least half of what you have here, which is $3,850. And you will also have one last opportunity to change your card here. What would you like to do?
