I hope I can make it, I might need a ride to the studio What ride? You have four! 
Jim Thornton: It's one of two games, and you won't be saying "No way", That require 110 cards, the other being Rommé on...
And now, here is the host of Card Sharks, Kevin Kolsen!
Me: Thank you, Jim! Hi, everybody! We're back with more Card Sharks! We welcome you to another fun-filled half hour filled with cash and cars galore. We can't do it without four people. The first two are our models, Charlene and Terri. They'll be dealing for the other two: today's Card Sharks! Come on up!
*Bill and David run to their podiums*
Bill McDee, we welcome you back. This is your fifth time here. We may give you a lot of your own with the cars you've won: $152,805 in all!
*cheers and applause*
How does it feel, Bill?

It's beyond incredible that I found the CAR card each and every last time, even though the money cards part of the bonus gives me fits

When you get back, maybe the Money Cards will give you enough for a capital improvement this time, emphasis on capital. You're being challenged today by David Barkow. David, how goes it?

Each of you will aim to get from one side of the board to the other, trying to predict whether your next card is higher or lower than the one preceding it. This game goes best of three. You win $500 for your first round, $1,000 and a trip to the Money Cards for your second. We determine control of the cards with this stack of high-low questions in front of me. I'll draw the first one and tell you that we asked 100 people this question:
"Is it okay for a parent to spank a five-year old child for misbehaving?"
How many people said yes, Bill?

There seems to be less and less desire for parents to discipline their children anymore, especially physically.
I think it will be a medium low number who said it is okay to spank a 5 year old for misbehaving...
I'll say 36.

36 people agree with the notion for a parent to do that.
[36][__][__]
You heard that reasoning, David. Tell me if you think the actual number is higher or lower.

Lower than 36. [36][__][LO] *ding* Actual number of people who think it's okay for a parent to spank a five-year old child who misbehaves is...
[36][41][LO] *dingdingding* 41; Bill was in the ballpark, but David hooked foul on that one. There's still that discipline aspect, but you have to consider the fine line.

(Vacation Thread Reminder): Due to a shingles vaccine that I will be getting today (Saturday, June 10th), depending on any ill-effects that it may cause, I may not be on here much during this weekend.
Thank you,

[2 ♦][7 ♦][C*S][C*S][C*S]No, I'm not pluralizing. It's just what he's doing. Here is the next high-low question. We asked 100 people...
"Is it okay for a parent to spank a 15-year old child for misbehaving?"
Almost the same question, but one detail has been changes. How many said yes, David?

Although I think the answer will be lower than the previous question, I believe it will be a bit higher than just 5, so I'll say HIGHER please Kevin.

David thinks only 5 out of 100 people say it's acceptable for a 15-year old to be spanked.
[__][__][ 5]
*ding* Bill thinks it's going to be higher than that.
[HI][__][ 5]
*ding*
While being lower than that other one. Let's see. Actual number of people who told us that it's okay for a parent to spank a misbehaving 15-year old is...
[HI][ 2][ 5]*dingdingding* Only of two of them! Bill, you were right to say fewer people said yes to this one. But direction-wise, David was ahead of you there.
