No, they actually have 3 hearts.

Ok Shederick, we're in a similar spot as we were in the first puzzle. You chose the 5 and 9 as the two that were in the puzzle from that first guess, but it could easily have been two of the other three that were in it instead. Hopefully, some of these numbers turn green on this guess to help clear it up. What's your guess at it this time?

Alright, well 5 was the last digit in the last two puzzles - makes sense to try it there again - for 9 points and $2,700, is that right? - (bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

Ok, let's see where we are now.

(ding)

Oh my. Well, this means either the 5 is the second or fourth digit or is not in it at all. This is about as complicated as you can get with this game unfortunately. We have all 10 digits up there in one guess or another, yet still none in the right spot. I have seen it done in the past though, we'll need this next guess to be mostly right, so let's see what happens.

The final category choice of the game is yours Shederick. Which would you like?

[djshadowwolf420]

Science

[Deleted]

Would you weigh more or less on Mars?

Buzz: Shederick (174), Immanuel (300), Random.org (out of 500: 44)

Shederick?

[djshadowwolf420]

Less

[Deleted]

Yep, if you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 76 pounds on Mars. (note to self: move to Mars) - (audience chuckles) -

Well, this is a hot mess right now Shederick - dunno what to say other than good luck!

For 6 points, $1,800 and the win, is that it? - (bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) - Alright, let's hope some of these turn green this time. What's the story now?

(ding)

Okay, that helps, but it will still be just shy of miraculous if one of you can figure this one out.

It might not matter though because it's going to come down to Immanuel answering this next question correctly because if not, Shederick wins the game without even having to guess. Our last category this time around is Geography and here is the question.

Havana is the capital of what country?

Immanuel (100), Shederick (17), Random.org (100)

Immanuel buzzes in.

[babytims]

Cuba!

[Deleted]

Cuba is correct! - (audience applauds) -

So, it comes down to this - you get the guess Immanuel - get it right and you earn $900 and win the game 3 to 2, get it wrong and Shederick wins 2 to nothing.

Take your time with it Immanuel, think it over and make the best guess you can. Good luck!

For a come-from-behind 3 to 2 victory, is Immanuel right?

(bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz; TPIR Losing Horns)

No, it was a good effort Immanuel, but it was two-six-seven-five-zero. So Shederick wins the game! - (audience cheers and applauds)

(ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding)

Immanuel, I want to thank you for being here today and I hope you enjoyed the game!

[babytims]

I definitely did, thank you for having me Jack! Good luck in the bonus game, Shed!

[Deleted]

Thank you for stepping in and helping us out!

- (applause and theme music begin) -

Well Shederick, that was certainly a tough go of it, you got the only solve and therefore get the win! You have fourteen hundred dollars for your efforts and when we come back, we'll play your Bonus Round for a chance at one hundred thousand dollars! - (audience cheers) - Shederick goes for the big money - right after these messages!

We are back for the conclusion of Master Mind! I have with me our champion today, Shederick Weatherspoon, Jr. and Shederick, those were some tough puzzles to solve and you managed to be the only one to solve one of them and those two points you earned for that were enough to win the game! What did you think of the competition today?

[djshadowwolf420]

TOUGH AND UNPREDICTABLE

[Deleted]

It certainly was! Well, in your bonus round things get a bit easier -- at first at least.  We have up to 3 puzzles for you to solve, assuming you want to go all the way. In the first one here in a moment, we will give you the first two numbers in the puzzle and you have to solve the rest of it. If you can solve it within 5 guesses, we'll give you $1,000. At that point, if you want to risk that thousand, you can try to solve the second puzzle. In that one, we give you the first number in the puzzle and if you solve that one, instead of $1,000 you win $10,000! - (audience applauds) -

Finally, if you go on to the third puzzle, that one you get no help with, but if you solve that as well, instead of $10,000 you win $100,000! - (audience cheers) -

At any point though, if you don't solve your current puzzle, you win nothing here in the bonus round. Your $1,400 that you won in the regular game is yours to keep though.

Any questions before we proceed Shederick?

[djshadowwolf420]

Nope let's party

[Deleted]

Alrighty, so this puzzle is worth a bonus of $1,000 if you solve it.  The first two digits in the puzzle are 3 and 5.  With that knowledge, what's your first guess at it Shederick?

Does Shederick have it right off the bat for a bonus of one thousand dollars!?  - (bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) - Ok, well we know the first two numbers are right at least! - (audience chuckles) -

(ding)

Ok, either the seven, the zero or the six is in it, but the other two are not.  Next guess please Shederick.

Three-Five-One-Seven-Eight -- how about that? - (bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) - Very well, what's the details this time?

(ding)

Okay, that's good info there!  It was not the 7 from the first guess, so we now know there's either a 0 or 6 in it and there's no 1, 7 or 8 in it.  What's your third guess Shederick?

[djshadowwolf420]

(ding)

For a thousand dollar bonus, is that right? - (bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) - Have we improved our situation at all?

(ding)

Oh boy, I'd say so! It was the zero from the first guess, so this means there's no 1, 6, 7, 8 or 9 in the puzzle. Hmmm, I think maybe you're about to win a cool grand Shederick! What is it?

Three-Five-Two-Four-Zero -- has Shederick just won a bonus of a thousand dollars!?!

(ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding) - (audience applauds) -

Of course he has - it had to be the four since there were no other numbers to try other than that!

Well done Shederick! For the moment at least, you've picked up another thousand dollars bringing your total for the day to two thousand four hundred dollars! - (audience applauds) - It's decision time now though. You can quit now and take that thousand as your bonus or you can try the next puzzle. For that puzzle, we are only going to give you the first number and you'll have five guesses at solving it. If you solve it, you get ten thousand dollars as your bonus! - (audience applauds) - If you don't solve it though, no ten thousand and you lose this thousand you just earned.

What do you say Shederick? Stop here or try for ten grand?

[djshadowwolf420]

Go on!
