(ding) Stop on a 1. (ding) (scattered cheers) Stop on a 6!  (ding; audience cheers) Another 6! Crag! (Doug walks over to Jon's podium) Savor this moment, everyone, as we make Jon richer by... (crowd and Doug count money in unison)  Doug: 100... Crowd: One... (ding)Doug: 200... Crowd: Two... (ding)Doug: 300... Crowd: Three... (ding)Doug: 400... Crowd: Four... (ding)Doug: 500...

(dings; audience cheers)(Doug returns to his podium) With that, Jon, you're leading 64 to 49. Jon needs a Crag to win the match. Nels, a Crag for you puts you within spitting distance of the mad dash for cash. Round 7 question is on fun and games. This is a long question -- so play carefully. Single digit question: You're playing Dice Town with friends. At a certain point in the game, you have 6 dollars in play money. As your opponents roll their dice, you roll five Aces and want to keep them all. How many out of your 6 dollars would you have to pay to keep all your Aces?

Makes sense. Does it cost 5 dollars to keep all 5 Aces? (buzz) No. Sorry. Nels, chance to steal. (ding) And I'll repeat the question. Single digit question: You're playing Dice Town with friends. At a certain point in the game, you have 6 dollars in play money. As your opponents roll their dice, you roll five Aces and want to keep them all. How many out of your 6 dollars would you have to pay to keep all your Aces?
Nels, would it cost you 3, 4, or all 6 dollars? |

Nels is forking over 3 bucks. Is that right? (buzz) No -- 4 dollars. And here's why. One cube may be kept for free. For each additional cube you want to keep, you have to pay one dollar. Each cube you don't keep gets a reroll. No one got to roll or reroll our dice that round. Score remains 64 to 49 in Jon's favor. Three rounds remain unless one of you reaches 100 points first. Round 8 has *another* long question. Apparently the writers wanted to fight for their slice of the pie before we sound the last call. (scattered laughter from crowd) Missing digit question: A short-lived science-fiction series starred Gil Gerard as Buck Rogers. In the show, the title character blasted off on a NASA mission in 1987 -- and, due to a freak accident, woke up more than a century later. I'll show you the year Buck awakened in -- and you tell me the missing digit.(ding)

Nels says our hero woke up in 2491. Is that right? (ding; audience applause)Yes. Our writers also note Gil is working on a reboot of the series -- only titling it "2491". (rolling sfx)Nels, chance to regain the lead comes now. |

 nelson17If anything good comes out of this, we have a 4-point game. Two rounds remain unless one of you rolls a Crag here. Follow-up question in Round 9.
Single digit question: On "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century", one of Gil Gerard's co-stars played Colonel Wilma Deering. How many E's are in the actress's first and last name?

Let's see. Is it just the 1? (ding; audience applause)Yes. Erin Gray. An "E" in "Erin" -- but not in "Gray". Well, Jon, you'll pad your lead for sure. The question is this. Will you punctuate the match with a Crag right now? Nels is hoping not as he hexes the dice. (rolling sfx)There they go for you, Jon. Let's see what happens. |

nelson17 (tones sound)And there's the signal indicating we've reached Round 10 of this numbers game. Nels, here's the situation. You must win this question and score more than 11 points to win and send the match to the mad dash. Score exactly 11 -- and we go to a tie-breaker question. Any stumble -- and Jon's going to the Super Crag. Single digit question: A TV host named John, an actress named Taraji and the creator of the Muppets named Jim share the same last name. Including repeats, how many letters are in the shared last name?

Including repeats, how many letters are in that last name?Nels, to stay in the match, is the correct answer 4, 5, or 6?

Nels, if it's 5, you're still in business. If not, the game and the match go to Jon. (buzz) (audience groans) It's 6. Jon wins the match! (dings; audience applause) Just to tie up loose ends, there's a reason why we had the words "including repeats" in the question. The letter "n" appears twice in the shared last name of Henson. John Henson, the TV host; Taraji P. Henson, the actress; and Jim Henson, the late Muppets creator. That's why 6 is the right answer. Nels, on the bright side, between this show and the last, $1500 in cash,... ...some great gifts and all this applause are yours. (audience applause)Jon, normally at this time, we're taking you to the winner's board. However, this is our last show. Obviously, you're not going to have a chance to put together a long winning streak and, thus, rake in a lot of riches. So, we're making some executive decisions. First, for winning this match, in lieu of a winner's board selection... ...you pick up another $5000 automatically -- (scattered cheers) -- bringing your total winnings up to $11,000 in this episode. We add this money to your prior winnings... ...for a total of $29,500. And there's a lot more waiting to be won in our final Super Crag. Stay with us! (WGYN theme plays, audience applause) |

Jon Darrall -- our final champion for this run of Crag: The Numbers Game. You're coming into the Super Crag a winner. We hope you become an even bigger winner. We'll explain how. First, please greet Havana, today's dice girl. I should note Havana and the other ladies who've helped us out throughout the years in the Super Crag round are joining me on another dice game I host, On A Roll on CBS Daytime. (audience cheers)(to floor director) What do you mean I can't mention my other show here? What are they going to do? Fire me? (audience laughs)In any event, Jon, Havana has your Super Crag dice. The dice in the cup are smaller in comparison to the Crag dice -- but the stakes are the biggest they've *ever* been. For this special round of the Super Crag... (ding)...we're seeding the pot with $5000. Every time you want to play Super Crag, you roll all three dice. Every good roll means you'll win more money based on the roll's value in hundreds of dollars. The 20-point straights are now worth $2000 each. Roll any triple -- and you'll win $2500. Roll a 13 in any combination for $2600 -- *BUT* if that combination of 13 has a pair of a particular number in it, that's a Crag for $5000. (audience cheers)Jon, your primary objective is to build up the pot to at least $10,000. Have more than 10 grand in the pot -- and you win tonight's special super bonus *of*... (dings; audience cheers)...$375,000. (pulls out gas card) Actually, that $375,000 is on... ...this gas card that I have in my hot little hands. Win the gas card -- *and* you also win a brand new, head-turning Chevy Corvette Stingray Coupe 3LT. (audience cheers)However -- if you're really lucky and can build the pot to an exact total of $10,000, you win the car, the gas card and another $625,000 in cash. (audience cheers)That's a total of more than $1,000,000 in cash, gas card, and a great set of wheels. That would be the mega bonus. As always, every roll comes with a risk -- as Havana will show us. (scattered boos) I know -- and I hope that's the last time we see that. One number on that cube has been replaced with the gremlin. If he comes up, you lose everything in the Super Crag. So after every safe roll, I'll give you a chance to stop. You *could* stop right now, take $5000 and ride off into the sunset -- or risk the five large and roll. (audience shouts suggestions) (Jon, if you wish to risk and roll, please respond with a number from 1-100. You'll see the result of that roll and the next few down the list so long as you have less than $10,000 in the pot, not stop the game and not roll the losing gremlin.) |

(audience cheers) Great way to look at it. Right now, you need a Crag to reach the mega bonus prize level of the gas card, the car and another $625,000. (audience cheers) Crowd, please chant that magic word of Crag, okay? (more cheers; audience chants, "Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag!") We're all on your side, Jon. Good luck. (audience is still chanting, "Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag! Crag!") (Jon shakes up bucket; pours dice down ramp) (audience groans; wonk wonk wonk wonk)Oh no! (more groans) What a revolting development! (more groans) I tell ya what I'm gonna do, Jon. (someone from crowd scream, "Give him the car anyway!"; rest of crowd laughs and cheers) Only if you're willing to pick up tax and title. (more laughs from crowd) Thought so. Jon, as I was saying, those other dice are worth 6 points or $600. I'll let you leave the Super Crag with $600 -- (picks up gremlin cube; audience start cheering) -- if you drop kick this cube off the stage. (more cheers) Care to do the honors?
