54 for mringgenberg... ding! ...and higher for grapebuy789. ding! The actual number of retail store employees who hate having to work the day after Christmas to take returned gifts is... ding-ding-ding! ...72, so it is higher, and grapebuy789 plays his cards first again. Now what's the first card, Amber? (6 ♥)It's a 6; would you like to play the 6 or change it? |

I'd like to change the 6.

Post by Bill Skinner on Dec 8, 2017 9:31:47 GMT -5
Sure, let's change it! Now what is it?
(5 ♠)
A 5. Is the next card higher or lower?

Post by grapebuy789 on Dec 8, 2017 15:22:09 GMT -5
Not what I wanted. I'm going to say higher.

Higher than a 5?
(7 ⋄)
ding!
It could've gone either way, but thankfully, it was the right call. Are you going to continue or freeze?

Let's freeze there, and get to the next question.  grapebuy789, you also get to answer the second question of the round. We asked 100 people: "Do you feel that the phrase Happy Holidays is too ambiguous and prefer greetings that are specific to the holiday being celebrated?"How many of those people said yes? |

Post by grapebuy789 on Dec 10, 2017 10:06:52 GMT -5
I'm going to say 65.

Post by mringgenberg on Dec 10, 2017 10:50:02 GMT -5
I think it's going to be a little lower.

Post by Bill Skinner on Dec 10, 2017 22:58:27 GMT -5
So grapebuy789 says 65... ding! ...and mringgenberg thinks it's lower. ding! Well, the actual number of people who think that Happy Holidays is too ambiguous as a greeting is... ding-ding-ding! ...73, so it's not lower, and grapebuy789 will continue from the 7 he froze at earlier. Would you like to play or change it? |

Post by grapebuy789 on Dec 11, 2017 6:50:05 GMT -5
Change the 7 please.

Post by Bill Skinner on Dec 11, 2017 6:56:35 GMT -5
And we will change the 7 to...
(10 ♠)
...a 10! So is the next card higher or lower?

Yes, it is, and you're midway to another win. Now would you like to continue or freeze?

Lower than a 9?
(Q ⋄)
buzz!
No, that's not it, so mringgenberg will play his own cards at last, but he cannot change his base. Now Tiffany, what is the first card that he must play right away?
(Q ♣)
It's also a Queen. Is the next card higher or lower?

Oh no, an Ace, so neither player advances, and we go to our third question of the round. mringgenberg, we asked 100 workers:
"Are you always, sometimes or not at all willing to help out the homeless during the holiday season?"
How many said that they always are?

Post by mringgenberg on Dec 12, 2017 13:49:22 GMT -5
69

Post by grapebuy789 on Dec 12, 2017 16:15:21 GMT -5
That has to be higher.

It's 69 for mringgenberg... ding! ...and higher for grapebuy789. ding! And the actual number of workers who said that they are always willing to help out the homeless during the holiday season is... ding-ding-ding! ...83, so it is higher, and grapebuy789 will start with a new base card. What is it, Amber? (5 ⋄)A 5. Are you going to play the 5 or change it? |

I'd like to change the 5 Bill.

Sure, we can change the 5. And this time, it becomes...
