Crag: The Numbers Game (Syn., Episode 35)

[Bryan]

I think 2?

[dougmorrisontheair]

If 2 of the wonders are still among us, the game continues. If not, Antonio, game goes to you.

Is 2 correct?













































(buzz)

(audience groans)


No -- just 1. Game goes to Antonio.

(dings; audience applause)

By the way, The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only Wonder to stay intact.

Antonio picks up $2500 for the win. Bryan, as our runner-up, collects $500.

Takes $5000 to win the match. Back for our second numbers game -- after this.

Let's start our second numbers game with this query about man's best friend.

Single digit question: How many chambers does a dog's heart have?

(Antonio buzzes in)

Antonio?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Antonio.)

[gameshowfan1986]

4

[dougmorrisontheair]

Does Fido's heart have 4 chambers?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes indeedy. I guess that question wasn't too -- ruff.

(scattered groans)


(rolling sfx)

Before the crowd gets hostile, Antonio, please stop the dice.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Antonio.)

[gameshowfan1986]

D F B

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 2.

(ding)

Stop on a 6.

(ding)

And stop on a 3. Well, opening roll's worth 11 points if you end the round here, Antonio.

[gameshowfan1986]

I'll take the 11 points...

[dougmorrisontheair]

After Round 1:

Bryan

Eleven points are yours. And now -- (Doug looks around) -- just checking to see if certain members of Monty Python are on set or backstage. Apparently not.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

You'll understand as we play our Round 2 question.

Nobody expects a missing digit question about the Spanish Inquisition -- but here it comes anyway. I'll show you the year the Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition was established in Spain -- and you tell me the missing digit.

(Bryan buzzes in)

Bryan?

[Bryan]

4?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Bryan's guessing weapons of fear, surprise and then some date all the way back to 1478. Is that right?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes. And it's a good thing the folks in the control room didn't have that jarring stinger.


(rolling sfx)

Bryan, your first chance to get on the board comes now.

[Bryan]

DEF

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 2.

(ding)

Stop on a 1.

(ding)

And stop on a 5. Well -- 8 points if you end the round here, Bryan.

[Bryan]

Keep the 5. AB

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okie doke. We'll reroll the 2 and 1.

(rolling sfx)
(freeze sfx)

Five's frozen. Stop the other dice when you're ready.

(ding)

Stop on a 1.

(ding) (scattered groans)

And stop on a 5. Yeah -- if that 1 were a 3, we'd have the first Crag of the match.

After Round 2:

Bryan

Score's tied at 11. Round 3 question's on science.

Single digit question: According to Isaac Asimov, how many laws of robotics are there?

Bryan?

[NOTE FROM DOUG: Players, please also include stopper letters with your answer to pick up the pace just a smidge. Thanks.]

[Bryan]

Ah shoot.....3......

ABF

[dougmorrisontheair]

3 laws of robotics. Is that right?

(ding; audience applause)

Indeed. Those laws are give only a list, don't use your hands, and don't say part of the subject's name.


(rolling sfx)

Only kidding. Bryan, you'll take the lead -- but by how much?

(ding)

Stop on a 1.

(ding)

Stop on another 1.

(ding) (scattered groans from crowd)

Not this again!?!!?

(scattered laughter from crowd)

Geez, Louise. Bryan, silly question. Want the 4 points or a reroll?

[Bryan]

Hold the ones. F

[dougmorrisontheair]

Freezing the snake eyes. Obviously looking for a third.

(freeze sfx)

(rolling sfx)

There goes that last screen. Let's see what happens.

(ding) (audience groans)

Ah, man! Worst roll ever again.


After Round 3:
gameshowfan1986
Bryan

Well -- we knew you'd get the lead. Bryan indeed leads as we go to a question about a famous film.

Missing digit question: "The Amityville Horror" is a classic movie that tells the story of a terrorized house located on Ocean Avenue. I'll show you the house number -- and you tell me the missing digit.

(Bryan buzzes in)

Bryan?

[Bryan]

2....shot in the dark.

[dougmorrisontheair]

If that's the right house number, we might be in for some irony. Is the house number 112?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes. What's ironic is that Bryan rolled the 1-1-2 combination -- *twice*.

I say that to say this. If these dice scream "get out" -- (scattered laughter from crowd) -- we'll evacuate the premises.


(rolling sfx)

But the normal rolling sounds are sounding. That's good. Bryan, please try for better than 1-1-2.

[Bryan]

ACE

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 6.

(ding)

Stop on a 2.

(ding) (scattered groans)

And stop on a 6. Yeah, overshot the 13 by 1.

Want 14 or a reroll?

[Bryan]

Keep the 6's. F

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

Could this be the first Crag in the match. Let's find out as we freeze the boxcars.

(freeze sfx)
(rolling sfx)

Middle number rerolls, Bryan. Let's see what happens.

(ding) (audience cheers)

It's a triple -- and not just any triple -- it's -- (scattered laughter from crowd) -- enough to make us *really* worry.


After Round 4:
gameshowfan1986
Bryan

We may have to call for a stop tape for an exorcism.



(Frasier's theme plays)

Oh, we hear that music calling again. Time to play another Scrambled Eggs question.

(scattered cheers)

You know how this works by now -- so let's work on this .

With the eggs, we've scrambled the name of an actor who played a comic book hero in a classic TV series. Tell me how many letters are in their correct positions.

(Antonio buzzes in)

Antonio?

[gameshowfan1986]

3?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Are there 3 letters in the correct spots?

(buzz)

No. Sorry. Bryan, chance to steal.

(ding)

With the eggs, we've scrambled the name of an actor who played a comic book hero in a classic TV series. Tell me how many letters are in their correct positions.

Bryan, is the right answer 1, 2 or 4?
