You've breezed through the first five, 10 to go to a million with all your lifelines intact. Now's the earliest point you could theoretically set milestone number two, not that you'd want to do it here. Any strategy in mind for setting that second safe point? |

Post by grapebuy789 on Jul 6, 2018 8:43:21 GMT -5
I'll be setting the safe point at 32 grand. But, of course, I intend to go all the way to a million. Which I bet you that I will be the first person to do it.

(laughter and applause as we cut back to the studio) That's from the very first run of episodes here in the U.S. in August 1999, and here we are, still having a lot of fun almost 20 years on.
