Gene Wood:

A deck has four suits
But the suits matter not
It's knowing higher or lower
That will win you a lot

On Card Sharks! And now here is the host of Card Sharks, David B.

Welcome to Card Sharks where you can win a fortune on the turn of a single card. Nels, our champion has won $9,175. Are you having a good time so far?

[nelson17]

Yeah I am I cant believe I won almost 10g

[gameboy2000]

Now let's hear from our challenger Sergio.

[romnserg]

I'm Sergio Roman (Nels knows it). I'm 20 years old, I'm a language student, I'm from Novelda, Alicante, Comunitat Valenciana, Spain. I spell it, N-O-V-E-L-D-A in A-L-I-C-A-N-T-E. And during my run on the forum, I'm hosting "RomnSerg's Wheel Of Fortune" and "Full House-Gambit Hour". My plans for 2019 is rescue one of my game shows.

[gameboy2000]

OK. Nice to have both of you here. The cards have been shuffled, cut, and dealt out. Here is the first question which is for Nels:

We found 100 Caucasian women who married an African American man and we asked them: Did your parents approve of your marriage? How many said they did?

[nelson17]

I'm gonna say 30

[gameboy2000]

30 out of 100. Sergio, higher or lower?

[romnserg]

No question then. I think it's lower.

[gameboy2000]

The actual number of parents who approved of the wedding is:

78

It was higher, so Nels, you win control. You start with:

AS

An Ace. What would you like to do?

[nelson17]

Lower

[gameboy2000]

Lower than an Ace?

AS   4C

Yes, a four. Play or freeze?

[nelson17]

Higher

[gameboy2000]

Higher than a four?

AS   4C   JC

Yes, a Jack. What would you like to do now?

[nelson17]

Lower

[gameboy2000]

Lower than a Jack?

AS   4C   JC   7D

Yes, a seven. What next?

[nelson17]

Freeze

[gameboy2000]

OK. You freeze on the seven and we go to the next question which is for Sergio:

We asked 100 high school principals: Did you graduate from the school you are now principal of? How many said they did?

[romnserg]

I'm going for 50.

[gameboy2000]

50 out of 100. Nels, higher or lower?

[nelson17]

I'm gonna say higher

[gameboy2000]

The actual number of principals who graduated from the school they are now principal of is:

67

It is higher, so Nels, you win control. You have a seven showing. Play or change?

[nelson17]

Change it

[gameboy2000]

The seven is now:

AS   4C   JC   4H

A four. Higher or lower?

[nelson17]

Higher

[gameboy2000]

If this is higher than a four, you win game 1. Higher than a four?

AS   4C   JC   4H   2D

Sorry, it was a two. Sergio, you get a free shot at the cards. You start with:

4S

A four which you must play. Higher or lower?

[romnserg]

Sorry, Nels. I thought you were going to win.
