As promised, this game is the rubber match between Immanuel Tims and Mike Foy. Let's begin now...
Jim Thornton: Shuffle the cards, cut the deck, If you get an eight, you'll say "What the heck!?" on...
And now, here is the host of Card Sharks, Kevin Kolsen!
Me: Hello! Welcome! You'll indeed be saying that on Card Sharks if you do get stuck with that card. Welcome to our show. In case you saw us yesterday, I'll assure you that this is not a re-run. We have a player coming back with us because of a boo-boo. He's just one Card Shark along with the champ. Let's welcome them aboard!
*Immanuel and Mike run to their podiums*
Immanuel Tims is our returning champion. A couple of good Money Cards run and a car brought him to a total so far of $65,485.
*cheers and applause*
How does it feel, immanuel?

It sure is, considering it's only across two games. You're going to be facing Mike Foy again. I say again, but we had a production error that affected his loss. Now he's back, because life is full of second chances. Mike, anything new since yesterday?

I had a feeling. Good luck in your studies and on this game a second time as well.

Our models have dealt from the decks of our two contestants. They will be trying to get from one side of the board to the other by predicting whether the next card is higher or lower than the one preceding it. It takes two rounds out of three to win the game and go to the Money Cards. We decide control with high-low questions. First one is as follows, asked to 100 people:
"Do you like your driver's license photo?"
How many people said yes, Immanuel?

I actually have a question: are you talking about people who take it for the first time, or for people who get their license renewed?

Well, after a while they'd start to look different, so they'd have to. I'll say 62

A bit higher says Mike. [62][__][HI] *ding* Actual number of people who like their driver's license photo is... [62][43][HI]*dingdingding* 43 of them; not higher, it was lower. Maybe it's a case of their license looking better than them, maybe something happened while the picture was taken. We'll never know. IMMANUEL

Post by koopakid17 on Mar 16, 2023 19:28:01 GMT -5
Figured as much. The nine will become...
IMMANUEL
[6 ♠][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
MIKE
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
A six. Gotta call off this.

No, a five. *buzzer* Just one card goes into the bin. IMMANUEL
[6 ♠][___][C*S][C*S][C*S]
MIKE
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] However, Mike gets a chance. You will call off... IMMANUEL
[6 ♠][___][C*S][C*S][C*S]
MIKE
[J ♣][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] ...a Jack.

Just letting you know, you wouldn't have been able to change the card anyway. You say lower...
IMMANUEL
[6 ♠][___][C*S][C*S][C*S]
MIKE
[J ♣][JOK][C*S][C*S][C*S] And its a Joker! An extra chance at the car! IMMANUEL

[J ♣][7 ♠][C*S][C*S][C*S] Freeze bar moves over one card. You have that slight advantage over the champ. You also get to answer high-low question number two. We surveyed 100 first graders:
"Do you have an imaginary friend?"
How many first graders said yes, Mike?

Post by thunderwheeler501 on Mar 17, 2023 19:07:04 GMT -5
Ooh boy, there’s definitely gonna be a lot of first graders who have imaginary friends.
I suspect the number is gonna be high. I’ll say…about 60.

Post by babytims on Mar 17, 2023 20:13:17 GMT -5
I think it'll be a little lower. Although I know I had one, not many kids now a-days I think will have one, especially since they have actual friends to play with. I'm saying it'll be a tad lower

Little lower. [LO][__][60] *ding* Actual number of first graders who have imaginary friends:
[LO][28][60] *dingdingding* 28, it was lower. Some of them haven't grown out of it, but it still is a phase for them. IMMANUEL
