Super High Rollers - Try Again James, in Episode 4! See ya!

[dad90]

(Audience Murmurs)

Oh, and I thought that you were going to clear off Column 1, but then again, we would have some Bad Rolls early on. Very well, then we'll take 11 off of the board, if you please.

Column 1: Home Office - $5,320
Column 2: New York City - $6,575
Column 3: Anything But Six - $79,875
Column 4: Bahamas - $7,896

(Number(s) Off!)

Player: Insurance Markers/Prizes/Score

Anthony: 0/None/$200
Raymond: 0/None/$0

Oh! I almost forgot! In this round, every time you eliminate a number, you'll earn $200. And that money will be yours to keep, no matter what happens throughout the remainder of the game.

With that said, let's proceed to the next question.

Which bird has the greatest wingspan?

A. Herring Gull
B. Adelie Penguin
C. Mute Swan
D. Wandering Albatross

Anthony: 4
Raymond: 37

Magic #: 51

(Buzz-In!)

And Raymond buzzes in! What's your answer?

[bowlerraymond]

Wandering albatross

[dad90]

Wandering Albatross is the right answer!

(Audience Applause)

The albatross is the largest aquatic bird. The wandering albatross has the longest wingspan among all the living birds, up to 11 ft wide. The biggest of all birds (aquatic and not) is the ostrich.

(Raymond picks up the dice)

All rolls are good, so let's roll the dice and see what you get.

(Raymond rolls the dice)



And we got ourselves a Double!

(Doubles!)

(Audience Applause)

And the roll is a 5.

[bowlerraymond]

I’ll get rid of the five.

[dad90]

Let's get the 5 out of here!

4	12	3	XX
6	8	9	10
1	2	7	XX

Column 1: Home Office - $5,320
Column 2: New York City - $6,575
Column 3: Anything But Six - $79,875
Column 4: Bahamas - $7,896

(Number(s) Off!)

Player: Insurance Markers/Prizes/Score

Anthony: 0/None/$200
Raymond: 0/None/$200

If one of you gets rid of the 10, you could go to the Bahamas, valued at $7,896. Next question, players.

Which of these persons is someone who died in the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger?

A. Sally Ride
B. Stephanie Wilson
C. Anna Fisher
D. Judith Resnik

Anthony: 7
Raymond: 53

Magic #: 52

(Buzz-In!)

And Raymond buzzes in! What's your answer?

[dad90]

You have 24 hours to respond, Raymond.

[dad90]

(Buzzer)

And time is up. Raymond has received one Strike. If Raymond gets 2 more strikes and he'll be replaced.

The correct answer was Judith Resnik.

She was a biological engineer from Ohio State University.

That means that Anthony gets control.

(Anthony picks up the dice)

All rolls are good for the moment, so roll the dice.

(Anthony rolls the dice)



Hey, we got a Double!

(Doubles!)

(Audience Applause)

And you not only get an Insurance Marker for that, but you also got a roll of 15. How are you going to play this out, Anthony?

[Deleted]

10, 2, and 3 please.

[dad90]

Very well, then 10, 2 and 3 are out! Eliminate those, if you please!

4	12	XX	XX
6	8	9	XX
1	XX	7	XX

Column 1: Home Office - $5,320
Column 2: New York City - $6,575
Column 3: Anything But Six - $79,875
Column 4: Bahamas - $7,896

(Number(s) Off!)

Player: Insurance Markers/Prizes/Score

Anthony: 1/Column 4/$800
Raymond: 1/None/$200

Each player has an Insurance Marker, but Anthony has claimed Column 4, which is the trip to the Bahamas. Anthony, if you win this round, you'll win the trip, but more importantly, you'll face off against James in the Championship Round, and also, we now have some Bad Rolls in, so control of the dice are now important as we go to the next question.

What is a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed one inside the other called in Russian?

A. Nadezhda
B. Ludmila
C. Lubov
D. Matryoshka

Anthony: 10
Raymond: 75

Magic #: 58

(Buzz-In!)

And Raymond buzzes in! What's your answer?

[dad90]

Raymond, you now have 24 hours to answer.

[dad90]

(Buzzer)

And time is up. Raymond has received two Strikes. If Raymond gets 1 more strike and he'll be replaced.

The correct answer was Matryoshka.

Matryoshka doll (called erroneously Babushka doll), derives from the Russian female name "Matryona", which in its turn is related to the Latin root "mater" (= mother) and in turn the doll has come to symbolize fertility.

That means that Anthony gets control.

(Anthony picks up the dice)

Now, let's look at the board.

4	12	XX	XX
6	8	9	XX
1	XX	7	XX

Column 1: Home Office - $5,320
Column 2: New York City - $6,575
Column 3: Anything But Six - $79,875
Column 4: Bahamas - $7,896

Player: Insurance Markers/Prizes/Score

Anthony: 1/Column 4/$800
Raymond: 1/None/$200

BAD ROLLS: 3

The Bad Roll is only a 3. Would you like to roll the dice or pass the dice to Raymond?

[Deleted]

I'm going to roll.

[dad90]

And here we go.

(Anthony rolls the dice)



And the dice totals 11. How are you going to play this out, Anthony?

[Deleted]

4, 6, and 1 please.

[dad90]

Very well, then 4, 6 and 1 are out! Eliminate those, if you please!

XX	12	XX	XX
XX	8	9	XX
XX	XX	7	XX

Column 1: Home Office - $5,320
Column 2: New York City - $6,575
Column 3: Anything But Six - $79,875
Column 4: Bahamas - $7,896

(Number(s) Off!)

Player: Insurance Markers/Prizes/Score

Anthony: 1/Column 4, Column 1/$1400 (1 Hot Column)
Raymond: 1/None/$200

OK, Anthony. Not only you've cleared Column 1, but you also got the Hot Column, meaning that if you get 2 more Hot Columns, AND win the game, and you'll win the 3 Hot Columns Jackpot. However, the number of Bad Rolls have increased dramatically, so this next question is important, players.

Which of the following is NOT the title of a book by Stephen Hawking?

A. The Elegant Universe
B. Black Holes and Baby Universes
C. A Brief History of Time
D. The Universe in a Nutshell

Anthony: 14
Raymond: 41

Magic #: 36

(Buzz-In!)

And Raymond buzzes in! What's your answer?

[dad90]

You have 24 hours to respond, Raymond. This is your Final Warning!

[dad90]

Raymond hasn't been online for more than 3 days. I need a replacement for him.

[mringgenberg]

I'll do it.

[dad90]

Matt, quickly tell us about yourself, and how summer is doing for you.

[mringgenberg]

I'm a supermarket clerk from Council Bluffs, IA. Summer is going well for me.

[dad90]

OK, Matt. Welcome. Now, in case you do get eliminated here, you will come back at our next show. Now, the question has shown above, and you'll get to answer.

[mringgenberg]

The Universe in a Nutshell?

[dad90]

(Buzzer)

That is wrong, I'm afraid. The correct answer was The Elegant Universe.

You see, "The Elegant Universe" (subtitled "Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory") is by Brian Greene, a quantum field theory specialist. "There is an ill-concealed skeleton in the closet of physics: As they are currently formulated, general relativity and quantum mechanics cannot both be right." Superstring theory, also known as the "theory of everything" attempts to explain those instances in the history of physics. (Quote and info from the amazon.com review of "The Elegant Universe".) Mr. Hawking is, of course, the world's most famous theoretical physicist. For more about him, visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking.

That means that Anthony gets control.

(Anthony picks up the dice)

Now, let's look at the board.

XX	12	XX	XX
XX	8	9	XX

Column 1: Home Office - $5,320

Anthony: 1/Column 4, Column 1/$1400 (1 Hot Column)
Matt: 1/None/$200

GOOD ROLLS: 7 8 9 12 15 16 17

Anthony, the Good Rolls are 7, 8, 9, 12, 15, 16 and 17. Would you like to roll the dice or pass them over to Matt?

[Deleted]

I'm going to roll.

[dad90]

OK, let's roll the dice.

(Anthony rolls the dice)



And it's an 8!

(Audience Applause)

That means we automatically get rid of the 8.

XX	12	XX	XX
XX	XX	9	XX

Column 1: Home Office - $5,320
Column 2: New York City - $6,575

(Number(s) Off!)

Player: Insurance Markers/Prizes/Score

Anthony: 1/Column 4, Column 1/$1600 (1 Hot Column)
Matt: 1/None/$200

Anthony, get the 12 off, and that will be the trip to New York City, but only if you win the round. 3 numbers left on the board, and those Insurance Markers will come in handy very soon as we go to the next question.

The term "Big Brother" has become a part of everyday jargon. Which banned book gives us this term?

A. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
B. Brave New World
C. 1984
D. Fahrenheit 451

Anthony: 18
Matt: 66

Magic #: 19

(Buzz-In!)

And Anthony buzzes in! What's your answer?

[Deleted]

1984.

[dad90]

1984 is the right answer!

(Audience Applause)

All of these had experiences being banned, but it was Orwell who gave us the term.

Anthony, let's look at the board.

(Anthony picks up the dice)

XX	12	XX	XX
XX	XX	9	XX

GOOD ROLLS: 7 9 12 16

The Good Rolls are now 7, 9, 12, and 16. Would you like to roll the dice or pass them over to Matt?

[Deleted]

I'm going to pass them.

[dad90]

Matt, Anthony has passed the dice to you. This is your first time rolling here in Raymond's replacement, so let's see what happens here.

(Matt rolls the dice)



And it's a 12!

(Audience Applause)

That means we automatically get rid of the 12.

XX	XX	XX	XX
XX	XX	9	XX
XX	XX	7	XX

Column 1: Home Office - $5,320

Player: Insurance Markers/Prizes/Score

Anthony: 1/Column 4, Column 1/$1600 (1 Hot Column)
Matt: 1/Column 2/$400

Matt, you got Column 2, meaning that if you win the round, you're going to New York City. There are only 2 numbers left on the board, and strangely enough, we have 2 questions left in this round. It's going to come down to see who has the fastest fingers on the buzzer as we go to the next-to-last question.

Which of the following is not a true statement?

A. Celtic music is based on just 5 notes.
B. The pentagondodecahedron is the 5th geometrical body.
C. The pentagram is called the Devil's knot in English tradition.
D. The Pentagon building in Arlington has 5 sides.

Anthony: 25
Matt: 26

Magic #: 21

(Buzz-In!)

And Anthony buzzes in! What's your answer?

[Deleted]

I say B.
