Crag: The Numbers Game (Syn., Episode 34)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 3.

(ding)

Stop on another 3.

(ding)

And stop on a 4. Total of 10 points if you end the round here, Brian.

[Bryan]

You know what, keep the 3’s and reroll. A

[dougmorrisontheair]

Going for the triple. Lets freeze the threes.

(freeze sfx)
(rolling sfx)

There they go. Can you get a third 3 here, Bryan?

(ding) (audience cheers)

Yes. Good lucky roll for 25 points.

Bryan now leads 59 to 27. Three rounds left unless Bryan scores a Crag. Round 8 questions on the movies.

Single digit question: In the classic movie "The Sound of Music", the Von Trapp family has how many girls?

[NOTE FROM DOUG: Obviously, tie for distance. Bryan's buzz codes came sooner -- so...]

(Bryan buzzes in)

Bryan?

[Bryan]

5?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Bryan's guessing 5 girls. Is he right?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes. Good guess. It worked.

Bryan, a Crag will win you the first game of this match. Antonio, hex the dice if you like because away they go.

(rolling sfx)

You got a lucky roll with trips the last round. Let's see if a Crag happens here.

[Bryan]

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 1.

(ding)

Stop on a 5.

(ding)

And stop on a 2. Well -- that's 8 points if you quit here, Bryan.

[Bryan]

Keep the 5 and reroll! D D

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

Hanging on to the 5 in the center. Two ways to make a Crag on the reroll. Let's freeze that 5.

(freeze sfx) (rolling sfx)

Outer dice reroll. Let's see if you're a winner here.

(ding)

Stop on a 2.

(ding)

And stop on a 4. Traded up to 11 points.

After Round 8:

Bryan

Score's now 70 to 27 in Bryan's favor with two rounds to go. Antonio, let's see if you can narrow that huge gap as we fill in the blank.

(MG'7x stinger) (scattered cheers)

And -- yes -- I should point out if Bryan wins this Round 9 question and scores at least 8 points, the game would be out of reach. So, everyone, please play carefully. Here comes the question.

I'll show you the name of a Texas-based energy company. Tell us the missing digit in the name of the company.

Antonio?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Antonio wants to know if we're talkin' Phillips 66.

(ding; audience applause)

We are. Good job.


(rolling sfx)

Antonio, you'll need lots of points. A Crag will give you the lead.

[gameshowfan1986]

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 5.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

Stop on *another* 5.

(ding) (loud groans from crowd)

Ohhhhh -- and a 4 on the end. Close to a Crag one way; close to a triple the other.

Antonio, this roll's worth 14 points if you stop here. You're trailing by 43 points at the moment. We have one more round to play after this one.

So -- take the 14 or reroll?

[gameshowfan1986]

Keep: Both 5's

I'll reroll with C...

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

Going for the name of the game. Let's freeze the Texas sunflowers.


(freeze sfx)

(rolling sfx)

Last number rerolls. Another 5 would be great. A 3 would be much better.

(ding)

Got a 6 instead for 16 points.

(tones sound)

After Round 9:
gameshowfan1986
Bryan

There's the signal confirming we're about to start the tenth round. Antonio, you're trailing by 27 points. A non-Crag 13's only worth 26. So the only way to win this game is to win this Round 10 question -- and then score a Crag.

Any stumble -- and Bryan wins this game automatically. Good luck to you both; play carefully. Here comes the last question in the first numbers game.

Missing digit question: I'll show you the number of signs there are in the zodiac -- and you tell me the missing digit.

Bryan for the game.

[Bryan]

2?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

If there are 12 signs in the zodiac, Brian, you win the game.

(dings; audience applause)

You've won the game, Bryan Law.

Rather than have you roll the dice, Brian, we award 4 points -- the least you could earn for a correct answer. You've also earned $2500 for the game. Antonio, you pick up $500 as this game's runner-up.

Takes $5000 to win the match. See if Antonio can catch up in our next game. It's our Throwback Thursday game -- coming up.

...a Throwback Thursday.

(audience cheers)

This game's all about events that have happened in years' past. So all of our questions in this numbers game are missing digit questions.

Good luck to you both -- because we're starting Round 1 with a question about booze.

I'll show you the year canned beer was introduced -- and you tell me the missing digit.

Bryan?

[Bryan]

[dougmorrisontheair]

Bryan's guessing canned beer goes all the way back to 1925. Is that right?

(buzz)

No. Antonio, chance to capitalize.

(ding)

Again this the year canned beer was introduced. Antonio, is the missing digit in the year 3, 4 or 5?

[gameshowfan1986]

3

[dougmorrisontheair]

Does canned beer go back to '35?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes. Back in 1935, canned beer was introduced by the Krueger Brewing Company of Richmond, Virginia.

(rolling sfx)

Antonio, dice are rolling in a game you need to win.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Antonio.)

Stop on a 5.

Stop on a 1.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

And stop on a 3 for an odd straight and 20 points -- if you end the round here, Antonio.

[gameshowfan1986]

I'm taking the 20 points...

[dougmorrisontheair]

After Round 1:

Bryan

Taking the points and the early lead as we continue our throwback game with this.

"Hotel California" was a big hit song in the 1970s for The Eagles. But, I'll show you the year the first *motel* opened in California -- and you tell me the missing digit.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Do motels go back to 1925 in Cali?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes. I wonder if it opened in Encino.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

(rolling sfx)

In any event, chance to pad your lead, Antonio.
