(bells jangling; we turn around to face board)
That's five. Let's see how well you did. My first question was, name a Christmas song you hear the most often during the day. You said...
blip!...Deck the Halls; survey said...
dong!...15. Next question was, how many presents do you expect to get from one person? You said...
blip!...three; such a reasonable number. Survey said...
dong!...24, so you have 39. Third, I asked you to tell me the time you wake up to open presents on Christmas Day. You said...
blip!...7 AM; sounds a lot like my Christmas back home in Queens. The survey said...
dong!...41! Now that's more like it. Then I asked you to name a holiday-related story your parents told you in your childhood. You said...
blip!...that eternal classic, The Night Before Christmas. Survey said...
dong!...54! That puts you well over 100 as we go into the final question: Name a place in America that is most likely to have snow on Christmas. You said...
blip!...Colorado, and it does make a lot of sense, with all that snow on the Rockies. Survey said...
dong!...49, and that gives you a grand total of 183; well done! So off you go, back to your family; now let's clear the board and bring out Nels!
(1999 FF Theme)
Matt got you 183 points, so you only need 17 to win. I'm going to ask you the same five questions that I asked Matt. You can't duplicate any of his answers, because then you'll hear this sound...
(double-buzz)
...and I'll say "Try again"; you give me another answer. It's going to be a little bit tougher, so we're going to give you 24 hours to answer each question. Are you ready? Remind everyone of Matt's answers...
blip!...and may I have 24 hours on the clock, please?
dong!Thank you. The time will start after I finish reading the first question. Name a Christmas song you hear the most often during the day.
