For 5 points, Nels, this is your question.

In 1499, a Spanish explorer traveling in the Caribbean noticed the homes of Indians built over water on stilts, which reminded him of Venice. Thus he named the country "Little Venice." What country was named in this manner?

VENEZUELA

[mrb2000]

It is Venezuela. Yes.

Alright, Frankie, you get this and you remain champion. Here is your question.

This Irish actress won the Academy Award as Best Supporting Actress for her role in the 1989 film, My Left Foot. In 1996, she had a major role in the film A Time To Kill, as the lawyer's secretary. What is her name?

You Remain Champion!!!


NELS: 43
FRANKIE: WIN!! (57)

Frankie, congratulations. What a game. We'll get back to you in a sec.

Nels, you put up an extremely good fight. We have some lovely parting gifts for you.
Give it up for Nels, everyone.

(applause)

Frankie, you did it again. Congrats.

When we add everything you've won, your 2 day total so far...

$36,400

And we'll play the bonus round when we come back. Stay tuned.

[mrb2000]

Welcome back.

Frankie, that was an intense game.
Did you think you were gonna win this one?

[grapebuy789]

Nels was a tough competitor, but somehow I managed to pull out another win.

[mrb2000]

(Apologies for the LONG delay. Blame school.)

-------------------------------------------------------

Somehow you did. You managed to pull out a bonus win last time. Let's see if we can get you some more cash.

On this first die, here, it's 3 sided but is not your normal 3 sided die.
There are multipliers on this one. 1 is 250, 2 is 500, and 3 is 1000.

Let's see here.

[500]

500. Well, no $100,000 this time. But we'll see if we can get you some big money.
Now on this 2nd die, it's 6 sided, like you would see on a normal die.
Again, there are multipliers. 1 is 10, 2 is 20, 3 is 25, 4 is 30, 5 is 40 and 6 is 50.

Let's see what we got.

[10]

Well, it's only 10. This means that you can play for

$5,000

Or you can play for double or $10,000. Let me explain.

We're gonna roll the dice 1 time. If the combination of both dice equals an odd number, we leave it at $5,000. But if it is an even number, we double it to $10,000. Let's see.

[2][1]

Nope. Playing for $5,000.

Here's how it works. The dice will be rolled 10 times. Get a double 3 times in those 10 rolls and I'll give you $5,000.
If you do not get 3 doubles, I'll give you $500 for every double you get.
Ready? Here we go.

[3][3] (Me: That's one right off the bat!)
[2][1]
[5][4]
[1][6]
[1][6]
[4][3]
[3][4]
[3][5]
[1][4]
[5][5]

Aww. Well, you did get 2 doubles which means you win $1,000 off of that.
We'll be right back after this to find out his total.

[mrb2000]

I was gonna do this ending for my Birthday, but doing it now. Thanks school.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are back.
Frankie, I'm sorry you didn't win the big $5,000. But you got more than that though.
He's coming back next time with a very nice total.

$37,400.

He'll be back next time, we hope you ar-

Director: Hold it! Hold it!

Me: What?

(I've tried getting those credits to not have all that space. Oh well.)

That's a wrap. And unfortunately, our cake is gone.

Anyways, time to put this one in the archives. Thank you.
