Welcome to our 13th episode of Crag: The Numbers Game. As noted earlier in the announcements section, the number 13 will potentially make a bigger difference in this episode. We're making the following rule changes for this episode only. \ We will award $1000 for *every* Crag in the match. \ With extra money awarded for each Crag, the money score will not matter. A contestant must win two games out of three to claim the championship and reach the Super Crag bonus game. \ The mega bonus in the Super Crag remains $1,000,000. The Super Bonus in the Super Crag is -- uhhh -- better keep that to myself until later.  Marc Enyedy returns with three match wins and $86,800. Even with the higher stakes, he must still win this and the next match in order to retire undefeated and win a new car. The qualifying question is coming up in a bit. The player closest to the right answer, high or low, plays against Marc. First, a bit of history. My first net game version of Crag started, appropriately, in the year 2013. The question also has some connections to the year 2013 -- although the original airing of the episode in question likely occurred before 2013. Enough of my yammering. Let's get to the question. On February 28th, 2013, at 9:00pm Central, we watched a rerun of "Silent Library" on MTV2. Out of a possible $5500, how much money did the team of six players win in this episode? Please respond in increments of $100. (To clarify, there was an end-of-show disclaimer noting that footage from some challenges did not air due to time constraints. Unaired challenges that resulted in payoffs are, obviously, not calculated in the right answer to this qualifying question.)This game operates on 24-hour deadlines. Please PM me your answer in 24 hours from now. |

And we're done. A lot of you were low-ballin' the team -- which is fair. From the other episodes I've seen, the show usually paid out about $2000 or less an episode. But in this rerun... (ding)...much to Zero Kazama's chagrin, he paid out a total of $4000 as the lucky players left the library. Who's the closest? $3200 palmer7Greg Palmer's taking on the champ -- after station identification.
Announcer: (doing live read) WJM -- when news breaks out, we break in. Errr -- wai-- (announcer immediately is cut off so that WJM's airing of the following starts on time)
(lights in studio gradually are turned on)
(audience cheers)Helloooo, everybody, I'm Doug Morris and this is our 13th episode. (audience cheers) This is still the show where 13 can be your lucky number. Today, 13 takes on extra special meaning. Our original version of Crag: The Numbers Game started, appropriately, in 2013. When that version ended, Eddie Timanus, who many of you know from some quiz show involving answers and questions, became our all-time winner -- earning more than $315,000. (audience cheers)Tonight, one of our contestants can easily break into six figures -- or perhaps even become a Crag-made millionaire. Without further delay, please make welcome our contestants -- Marc Enyedy and Greg Palmer. Marc so far has won $86,800 and three matches. If he wins this and the next match, he drives out of here in a new Ferrari. Greg, on the other hand, wants to start a winning streak of his own. Greg, since you're the newcomer, please tell us about yourself.

Ah, Alan Parsons Project -- great band -- not a form of hovercraft, "Simpsons" fans. (a few laughs from the crowd) Got any particular favorite album?

Right now, "Stereotomy". There's only one bad track in that one, which is "Light of the World". I suspect Alan and Eric were on a Jesus kick.

I like "I, Robot" and "Eye in the Sky". Best of luck to you, Greg. And also, best of luck to Marc. You're going for your fourth win. Ready to give it a go?

In more ways than one, that's what we're going to do. Marc and Greg, I'll tell you about the special features of this episode as we play. This much hasn't changed. We're playing a game all about numbers -- particularly the numbers you can roll on dice. The right answer to each question on our show is a number between 1 and 6 inclusive. Sometimes we'll ask for the ordinal or Roman numeral equivalent of one of those numbers. And there are missing digit questions to watch out for. I'll tell you more when we happen upon one of those. (ding)Right now, there's a question mark on the board. That means we're starting off with a missing digit question. By the way, all the Round 1 questions in the match have some connection with the number 13. And here's that question. Single digit question: On the original version of the TV series "The Munsters", the titular family lived at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. Herman and Lily Munster had how many children?

Marc says the couple had 2 children. Is that right? (buzz) (a few groans) Not 2. Sorry. Greg, this means you have a chance to steal. The Crag dice will offer the right answer and two wrong answers. It's up to you to pick the right answer. (ding)And I'll repeat the question. On the original version of the TV series "The Munsters", Herman and Lily Munster had how many children?Greg, is the correct answer 1, 3 or 4? |

With a little genealogy, Greg says 1. Does he say right? (ding; audience applause)Yup. The couple's only child was Eddie. Marilyn was indeed the niece. Greg, with that right answer, you have two rolls of the dice to score as many points as you can. And as you'll take a look at the big screen here, these are the ways to score big. There are four different straights worth 20 points each in Crag. The numbers 1-2-3 make a low straight; 4-5-6 a high straight; 1-3-5 an odd straight and 2-4-6 an even straight. It doesn't matter how the numbers appear on the board -- just as long as they're all different and they're all low, high, odd or even. Anytime you roll three of the same number, that's a triple for 25 points. As always, 13 is a lucky number in Crag. Anytime the dice total 13, we'll double the sum for 26 points. *But* if you have a pair of numbers and an odd number total 13 on the board, that's a Crag -- and it's worth 50 big points. (audience cheers)And on this episode only, *every* Crag in the match pays $1000. (audience cheers) However, you must still win two games out of three to win the match. (rolling sfx) Greg, the dice are in your control. One at a time, stop them with your buzzer. (Greg, please "stop the dice" by responding with three letter from A through F inclusive. You may repeat letters if you think that helps.) |

(ding)Stop on a 2. (ding)Stop on another 2. (ding)And stop on a 6. That's not a combination worth 20 or more. So, Greg, you may end the round here and take the sum of the dice in points -- which is 10 in this case -- or you may freeze up to two dice and reroll the rest. How do you play it?

(audience cheers) Wants the name of the game. We'll freeze the 6 first. (freeze sfx)That 6 will not reroll and stay frozen for the rest of this round. The twos, however, will reroll. (rolling sfx)And there they go. Let's see if you can get that Crag, Greg. (ding)Well, there's a 4. (ding) (audience cheers) And there's a 5 to complete a high straight. Greg starts this game with 20 points. It takes 100 points to win a game and $2500; the runner-up collects $500. If no one reaches 100 after ten rounds, the player closer to 100 wins. And before we proceed, I should explain what just appeared below the players' point totals. The single zeroes on each podium will, eventually, keep track of how many games each player has won in this match. Where you see the dollar sign and double zeroes, those digits will keep track of how much money each player has racked up during the match. While the money's nice, you're looking to win two games to take the match and go to Super Crag. (MG '7x stinger) (audience cheers) And that little ditty means it's time for a Fill In The Blank question. Here's your second round question, Marc and Greg. We'll show you the title of a late 1980s sitcom -- where Stacy Keanan played a daughter to a certain number of fathers. When Earl slides it, tell me if the word "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five" or "Six" correctly fills in the blank of the title. All right, Earl, slide it.(ding)26 marc412

Marc says the show's title is "My *Two* Dads". Is that right? (ding; audience applause)Yes. "My Two Dads". Where was Maury Povich when you needed him? (scattered laughter from the crowd) (rolling sfx) Huh? Oh -- "A Current Affair", of course. Marc, dice are yours. (ding)Starting with a 1. (ding)There's another 1. (ding)And there's a 4. Well -- dice total 6 points if you stop here. |

Greg says (a few groans the crowd) -- that the apple landed on Newton's noggin in 1587. Our audiences have been known to be charming -- and wrong! (a few laughs from the crowd) Is 5 the missing digit in this year? (buzz) Sorry, Greg, that's not it. Marc, chance to steal. (ding)Choices come courtesy of the non-Crag 13. Again, this is the year an apple landed on Sir Isaac Newton's head, leading to his theory of gravity. Marc, is the acutal missing digit in the year 3, 4 or 6? |

(time passes; buzz buzz) Time's up. So, no one scores in this round. Audience, if you're so smart, what's the actual missing digit? (most in the audience say "6") Is it 6? (ding) (scattered cheers) Yup. 1687. Too bad I can't let the audience roll the Crag dice twice. (scattered laughter and groans) If one of the players here wins the match in a two-game sweep, perhaps we'll play an audience game. Score remains 25 to 20 in Marc's favor. Round 4 starts with a question about time. Missing digit question: If it's 6:00 p.m. in New York City, I'll show you the time for Los Angeles on the big screen; you tell me the missing digit.62 marc412
