Then let's not wait any more time and let's go for it! We play this a bit differently than the main game, in that there's no tossups. Instead, we only deal with the main puzzle: *ding*  In which the clue is "He never walks the straight and narrow". How this works is simple. First off, you have to solve 3 puzzles for a chance at the loot. The first two puzzles I like to call a "warmup", these are worth $5,000 each. The third and final one is worth $15,000!
If you don't manage to solve a puzzle for any reason, the game ends and you only win the money you accumulated before the round is over.
Instead of a regular die and a money die, you get six regular dice. These dice determine what letters get revealed in the puzzle, for example I'll roll the six:
*I grab the dice bucket and shake*
Is this what y'all go through on Yahtzee?
*laughter, audience cheers as...I roll*
   
Now see, I have 4 unique numbers. I can reveal the first, second, fifth, AND the sixth letter in the word. Now you never have to take what you roll, if I wanted to I can roll the dice over, but you'll have to roll ALL 6 dice again, and you only get up to 3 rolls of the dice.
If you managed to roll a 1 through 6 on all 6 dice, on any puzzle, it's an automatic win and you won't win $25,000...no...we'll double it! Giving you the chance to win up to $50,000 at the bonus board!
*audience oohs, cheers*
Now...if we all are ready, we wanna see you knock off some numbers here! Roll them bones and let's see you knock off a bunch of letters and win a whole lotta loot!
*audience cheers as...Mike rolls*
 
*more cheers*
And right off the bat, you get a great roll! If you elect to take this roll, every letter except for the second one will be revealed to you, so I'm sure you want this roll, right? |

That's 2! *dings, cheers* You have $10,000...which is yours to keep! But...I have an extra $15,000 to offer you! Get this puzzle and you win $25,000 in cash. Here's the last puzzle: *ding* "We call them mistakes". If you get this puzzle, you win an extra $15,000. Same rules apply...only for this one you only get 1 roll of the dice, so make it a good roll! *audience cheers as...Mike rolls* And yet another solid roll! Every letter except the first 2 will be revealed... *ding*  And if you get this right you win $15,000 more for a total of $25,000! All you have to do is solve it, you have 3 guesses! |

And that's a wrap on yet another test show! Thank you Mark and Mike for participating in this pilot, I appreciate it! Some post-show notes:
First off, thank you Bill McDee for collaborating with me on this pilot, he provided the clues and puzzles you seen on today's broadcast, as coming up with clever clues for the puzzles became a challenge for me.
Overall, I have to say this is probably one of my favorite shows I created. I love the pacing of it, I love the variety for myself, and I hope you all enjoyed it the same.
Feel free to share any thoughts, questions, or concerns you have about this show...otherwise mods this can go into the land of remembrance...although I would request this thread stay open for at least 48 hours if there are any closing remarks!
Thank you all so much for reading (watching) and participating, we should be set to launch within the next 2 weeks!

Very enjoyable to watch, even though I knew the answers.
Thank you for the kind kudos too.
And very touching the "Mannio" name, I read about the origin of it. Splendid.
