Card Sharks is back! As a refresher, the car game has been overhauled. For details, click here.
Since it's been while, I'd like for our returning champion David to check in. I also need his challenger. Who's got game?

I'll give it another go-round, and can hopefully play the new car game!

And now, here is the host of Card Sharks, Kevin Kolsen!
Me: Hello, everybody! Welcome back to Card Sharks! We have an all-new car game ready to go. We'll get to that at the end of the show. We want to find out who's going there first. To do that, we have to play Card Sharks with today's card sharks! Come on up!

You do have a lot on your plate. Maybe you can alleviate some of that stress here. Before we play, let's talk some rules.
DAVID
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
IMMANUEL
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
David plays the red cards on top, Immanuel the blue deck on the bottom. Each of you will work your way across your board by predicting whether the next card will be higher or lower than the one preceding it. You play those cards by answering high-low questions. David, the champ, gets the first one. We surveyed 100 people under the age of 30. Listen carefully...
"Have you ever made a phone call from a telephone booth?"
David, how many people younger than 30 said yes?

23 people aged younger than 30 have made a phone call from a telephone booth.
[23][__][__]
You heard him, Immanuel, but do you think the actual number is higher or lower?

I'll admit I haven't lately, that's only because they don't work.
In the era before I had an official cell phone that can call and text, I have used one, and also people's phone can die and some don't have a phone...so I think the number is a tad bit higher, even if they used it once or twice.

Gonna say higher. [23][__][HI] *ding* I'm no longer there, but I've been there, done that. The actual number of pre-tricenarians who have made a phone call from a telephone booth is...
[23][23][HI] *school bell* 23 of them! David! Look at you! We haven't flipped any cards just yet, but if you hold out your hand, I will place ten $100 bills there for getting that on the nose! Way to go! DAVID
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
IMMANUEL
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] You'll be the first to see your base card. DAVID
[9 ♠][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
IMMANUEL
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] You have a nine. Play or change?

Change.

Post by koopakid17 on Jul 20, 2023 11:17:06 GMT -5
You can do that. You won the question. The nine becomes...
DAVID
[8 ♠][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
IMMANUEL
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] An eight.

DAVID

IMMANUEL
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] *ding*
Yeah! An Ace!

Freezing right there...
———————————————|DAVID
[8 ♠][A.♠][5 ♦][10♠][C*S]
IMMANUEL
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] One card away, but that ten gave you other ideas. Immanuel, you really need to make something happen to win this round. Maybe you could with this next high-low question. We surveyed 100 married women...
"If you were unable to have children, would you raise a baby your husband fathered with another woman?"
How many married women said yes, Immanuel?

Post by babytims on Jul 23, 2023 17:59:15 GMT -5
I doubt it for a myriad of reasons. I don’t think a lot of women would be willing to have a child that wasn’t theirs, I think it’s still be cheating even if it was voluntary. I think it’ll be pretty low: 20

Post by koopakid17 on Jul 23, 2023 21:41:32 GMT -5
20 married women would want a child who was fathered by someone other than their husbands.
[__][__][20]
Higher or lower, David?

Post by gameboy2000 on Jul 24, 2023 4:01:07 GMT -5
Lower

Post by koopakid17 on Jul 24, 2023 11:44:19 GMT -5
Even lower than that says David. [LO][__][20] *ding* Actual number of married women who if they were unable to have children would be fine with their husbands fathering a baby through another woman is...
[LO][34][20]
*dingdingding*
34 of them. It was indeed a low number. Just not as low as David thought. They would be considering more desirable options and with good reason. ———————————————|DAVID
[8 ♠][A.♠][5 ♦][10♠][C*S]
IMMANUEL
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] Immanuel, you'll get your calling started... ———————————————|DAVID
[8 ♠][A.♠][5 ♦][10♠][C*S]
IMMANUEL
[9 ♥][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
...off a nine. You can play off this or change.

I don't want that 9. Change please

Neither would everyone else. That nine becomes... ———————————————|DAVID
[8 ♠][A.♠][5 ♦][10♠][C*S]
IMMANUEL
[7 ♣][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
A seven.

Afraid not.

You only lose that one card.
———————————————|DAVID
[8 ♠][A.♠][5 ♦][10♠][C*S]
IMMANUEL
[7 ♣][___][C*S][C*S][C*S]
However, David can call off the ten for the round.
