Champ says Ivan Pavlov won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in nineteen-ought-four. Is that right?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes. A good bit of prize money went with the award. He was certainly salivating over getting that check.

(scattered laughter from crowd)

In any event, Antonio, another Crag gives you the win in this first game. Bryan's hexing the dice as they roll now.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 6.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

Stop on a 1!

(ding) (groans from crowd)

And a 4 on the end. Well -- got 11 points if you want to stop here, Antonio.

[gameshowfan1986]

Re-roll: One (C)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered groans)


(freeze sfx)

I for one see what the champ's doing here. Remember, folks, Antonio's playing this game -- and you're not.

(scattered laughter from crowd)


(rolling sfx)

With that, 1 rerolls.

(ding)


(scattered cheers)

Stop on a 5 -- and it worked out to the tune of 20 points for the high straight.

As we prepare for Round 6, Antonio needs to roll a triple or any combination of 13 to cross the 100-point threshold. A straight would put you close, Antonio.

Bryan, a Crag gives you the lead.

Time to make a list and check it at least once. We're playing a Crag's List question -- with this list.

(ding)

Hail to the chiefs. One, some or maybe all of these U.S. Presidents whose names are listed here belong on this list. Here's the question that could narrow things down.

How many of these U.S. Presidents are depicted on Mount Rushmore *and* on currency currently in circulation?

Antonio?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Bump for Antonio)

[Bryan]

(Just replying so I can keep the participation thread going)

[gameshowfan1986]

2

[dougmorrisontheair]

Just two, you say. If you say right, the four Presidents who don't belong on the list will have their names disappear. Is 2 right?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes. Lincoln's depicted on the penny and the $5 bill. Washington on the quarter and $1 bill. Both on Mount Rushmore.

(rolling sfx)

There go the dice. As Bryan's already hexing them, Antonio, any 13 or any triple wins.

[gameshowfan1986]

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 1.

(ding)

Stop on a 3.

(ding)

And stop on another 3. Total of 7 points if you stop here, Antonio.

[gameshowfan1986]

Re-roll: Second Three (C)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

Man's particular about which 3 he wants to hang on to. We'll freeze the first 3 and the 1.


(freeze sfx)
(rolling sfx)

Last number rerolls. Let's see what happens.

(ding)

(more cheers)

Got a 2 to complete a low straight.

After Round 6:

Bryan

And with that, you're at the doorstep of victory literally. Antonio, the next correct answer from you will mean automatic victory. A correct answer in Crag assures a player of no less than 4 points.

So -- Bryan -- gotta turn on the afterburners as we go to Round 7.

Missing digit question: On the big screen, I'll show you how long Prohibition lasted to the nearest half minute -- and you tell me the missing digit.

(Bryan buzzes in)

Bryan, to stay in business.

[Bryan]

3?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Did Prohibition last 13 years "and change"?

(ding; audience applause)

That's right. During that time, you couldn't engage in whiskey business.

(scattered laughter and groans)


(rolling sfx)

Bryan, you could use a lot of points. A Crag would narrow the gap in score for sure.

[Bryan]

Yes I could: DFE

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 1.

(ding)

Stop on a 2.

(ding)

And stop on another 2.

Normally I'd offer a chance for you to stop the round and take 5 points, Bryan. But I have a sneaking suspicion you'd like to reroll.

[Bryan]

You know what? After looking at the score chart, I don’t like my odds keeping any of those!

DEE

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

This late in the game, I'm not surprised you're rerolling everything. So let's do that.

(rolling sfx)

And away they go.

(ding)

Stop on a 5.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

Stop on another 5!

(dings; audience cheers)

A 3! CRAG! WOW!

After Round 7:
gameshowfan1986
Bryan

Talk about turning water into wine. Bryan, with that roll, you now need a roll worth more than 12 points to win this game. Still, Antonio, we just need a right answer from you to clinch victory.

Crucial Round 8 starting now.

Missing digit question: Fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers probably know this is the result of six cubed. I'll show you the result -- and you tell me the missing digit.

(Antonio buzzes in)

Antonio for the game?

[gameshowfan1986]

[dougmorrisontheair]

Champ says six cubed equals 216. If he says right, we'll just give him 4 points and the automatic win -- since he'd surpass the 100-point goal.

Is 1 the actual missing digit?

(dings; audience applause)

Yes. Cleveland, Ohio's area code, by the way, is 216 -- hence the connection between C-Town and six cubed.

So, with that, Antonio wins another $2500 for the game. Total of $3500 at the moment.

Bryan, as our runner-up in this game, $500 for you.

We'll start a second numbers game of Crag -- right after this.

(WGYN theme plays; audience applauds)

(audience cheers)

And each contestant this week receives our home version of Crag: The Numbers Game.

Great to play at your next game night with friends at home, at the bar, at the burger joint -- (scattered laughter from crowd) -- you get the idea.

Back to Crag here in the Bill Cullen Studio. Antonio's leading the match $3500 to Bryan's $500. Next game's worth $2500 to the winner and $500 to the runner-up. So let's resume this race to $5000 with this question as we start Round 1 of our second numbers game.

Single digit question: You're in Europe and you're playing Roulette. How many green numbers does a European Roulette wheel have?

Antonio?

[gameshowfan1986]

1

[dougmorrisontheair]

Is there just 1 green number on the European Roulette wheel?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes. The number zero is green in European Roulette. American Roulette has a single zero and a double zero, for two green numbers, to give the house an extra edge.

Last time I played Roulette, I lost a lot of money and left the table with a spinning headache.

(scattered laughter and groans)

(rolling sfx)

Enough about Roulette. Let's roll some dice, Antonio.

[gameshowfan1986]

F D A

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 2.

(ding)

Stop on a 5.

(ding)

And stop on a 4. Eleven points or a reroll, Antonio?

[gameshowfan1986]

Re-roll: 5 (C)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Rerolling the 5. Interesting. Let's freeze the outer dice.

(freeze sfx)

(rolling sfx)

Center number rerolls. Let's see what happens.

(ding) (scattered groans)

Ohhhh -- traded down to a 1 for a 7-point total.

After Round 1:
gameshowfan1986
Bryan

Bryan didn't mind that at all. Round 2's on fun and games.

Missing digit question: By now, you know it takes 100 points to automatically win a game in this match. I'll show you the number of victory points you need to win in The Settlers of Catan -- and you tell me the missing digit.
