You are going to pass the dice over to Nels. Nels, Matt is hoping that you roll one of those Bad Rolls to take away that Insurance Marker. Let's see what happens. Roll the dice. (Nels rolls the dice)   And the roll is a 10, and that's good! In fact, the only way to play that number is to take off the 10 itself, so let's do that right now. (Number(s) Off!)Column 1: Pair of Bicycles - $2,998
Column 2: Crib + New Orleans + Hot Tub + GPS Watch + Range - $13,545
Column 3: Bedroom Group + Wine Cabinet + Outdoor TV + Motorscooter + Cayman Islands - $29,029
Column 4: Odd One Out - $33,000
Player: Insurance Markers/Prizes/Score
Nels: 1/Column 1/$1500
Matt: 0(1 Super Insurance Marker)/None/$600And Nels, you've cleared Column 1, so if you win the game, you'll win that pair of bicycles which is valued at almost $3,000. But anything can still happen as we go into our next question. Which natural fibre, commonly used to make sacks or rope, shares its name with a group of Germanic people that invaded Britain after the decline of the Roman Empire?A. Frisian B. Angle C. Jute D. Saxon Nels: 63 Matt: 89 Magic #: 1 (Buzz-In!)And Nels buzzes in! What's your answer? |

Jute is correct! (Audience Applause)Jute is a type of fibre produced from the stems of plants of the genus Corchus, whose leaves are also used as a vegetable in various Asian and African cuisines. Jute is the main constituent of hessian or burlap material and it can also be made into rope or twine or combined with other materials to make carpets. The Jutes were a Germanic people who are believed to have originated from the Jutland Peninsula in modern day Denmark. After the decline of the Roman Empire across northern Europe and particularly following the end of the Roman occupation of Britain in the early 5th century AD, the Jutes (along with the Angles, Saxons and other smaller groups) migrated across the channel to Britain and conquered the territory. The time from that point until the Norman invasion of 1066 is often referred to by historians as the Anglo-Saxon period. Nels, pick up the dice. (Nels does so) GOOD ROLLS: 5 6 7 11 12 13 16 17 18The Good Rolls are now 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17 and 18. Are you going to roll the dice or pass them over to Matt? |

You are going to pass the dice to Matt, which means Matt, if you don't get any of these Good Rolls or roll a Double, it's all over, and Nels will become our champion. Good luck, Matt, and roll the dice. (Matt rolls the dice)And the roll is... a Double! (Doubles!) (Audience Applause)Not only did you get an Insurance Marker to even the playing field, but you've also rolled a good lucky number of 13, and the only way to play that is to take off the 7 and the 6, so let's do that right now. (Number(s) Off!)Column 1: Pair of Bicycles - $2,998
Column 2: Crib + New Orleans + Hot Tub + GPS Watch + Range - $13,545

Nels: 1/Column 1/$1500
Matt: 1(1 Super Insurance Marker)/None/$1200Now there are only 3 numbers left on the board, and control of the dice is becoming more important, so it's best to listen to this next question carefully, as well as the multiple choices, because those could make all of the difference. Here's that next question. Keeping in mind that seeing isn't always believing, what is a Hermann Grid?A. A protective grate B. A visual illusion C. A table of probabilities D. A device used in barbecues Nels: 50 Matt: 84 Magic #: 86 (Buzz-In!)And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer? |

A Visual Illusion

Post by dad90 on Sept 22, 2023 20:22:06 GMT -5
A visual illusion is the correct answer! (Audience Applause)A Hermann Grid is a visual illusion which consists of black squares separated with white lines (i.e. a grid). At the corners, particularly away from your focus of vision, you should notice dark grey spots, which either disappear or are less prominent in focused vision. Lateral inhibition is said to help us define edges and features. Imagine that your receptive fields - fields which pick up visual information - are circles. The central points of these circles are excitatory or boost signals, but the points around suppress or are inhibitory on them. Therefore, because the intersections have more light around them in comparison to between the lines, they are more inhibitory on the receptive field at the intersection itself and cause a dark spot to appear. Because your focus of vision uses smaller receptive fields than the periphery, the dots will either not appear or be less prominent as you focus on them, as the inhibition effect will not occur. Matt, pick up the dice. (Matt does so) GOOD ROLLS: 5 11 12 16 17The Good Rolls are now 5, 11, 12, 16 and 17. Are you going to roll the dice or pass them over to Nels? |

Well Nels, turnabout is fair play. You do have an Insurance Marker. Let's see what happens. (Nels rolls the dice) And the roll is a Double! (Doubles!) (Audience Applause)So that earns an extra Insurance Marker, however, you have to use that right away since 7 is a Bad Roll, so roll again. (Nels rolls the dice)And the roll is...  a Bad Roll of 14, so that's going to cost you that other Insurance Marker. Player: Insurance Markers/Prizes/Score
Nels: 0/Column 1/$1500
Matt: 1(1 Super Insurance Marker)/None/$1200So Nels, this next roll could be your last as the championship is on the line. If this roll is not either a 5, an 11, a 12, a 16, a 17, or a Double, and Matt will reclaim his championship title. Good luck, Nels, and roll the dice when you're ready. (Nels rolls the dice)And the roll is...  an 11! (Audience Applause)(Number(s) Off!)Column 1: Pair of Bicycles - $2,998
Column 2: Crib + New Orleans + Hot Tub + GPS Watch + Range - $13,545
Column 3: Bedroom Group + Wine Cabinet + Outdoor TV + Motorscooter + Cayman Islands - $29,029
Column 4: Odd One Out - $33,000
Player: Insurance Markers/Prizes/Score
Nels: 0/Column 1; Column 3/$1800
Matt: 1(1 Super Insurance Marker)/None/$1200Well, look at you, Nels! You have lucked out yet again, and managed to clear Column 3 at the cost of your Insurance Marker, but that also means that you are now vulnerable, so unless if you answer this next question right, I have a feeling that Matt is going to pass the dice over to you like a shot. However, there are 2 numbers left on the board, and Nels, there's a possibility that you might get ALL 4 columns with one lucky roll of 17 to win ALL of the prizes from all 4 columns, AND the All Columns Jackpot, AND the Last Number Cleared Bonus, AND the right to play the special edition of Odd One Out, but of course, Matt has got something to say about all of that. This next-to-last question of the game could decide who's going to be our champion. Listen carefully, players. Which one of the following is a 1951 movie featuring Humphrey Bogart, a type of Volkswagen, and a warm Mediterranean wind?A. Zephyr B. Monsoon C. Coriolis D. Sirocco Nels: 57 Matt: 4 Magic #: 8 (Buzz-In!)And Matt buzzes in! What's your answer? |

Sirocco is correct! (Audience Applause)Sirocco is a warm Mediterranean wind that arises from the Sahara Desert and blows north. It is also a 1951 film-noir-style movie starring Humphrey Bogart and Lee J. Cobb that takes place in Syria around 1925. It is also the name of model of Volkswagen that was first produced in 1974. Matt, pick up the dice. (Matt does so) GOOD ROLLS: 5 12 17The only Good Rolls are 5, 12, and 17. Now, are you going to roll the dice or pass them over to Nels? |

Well Nels, this could be it. If this roll is not a 5, a 12, a 17, or a Double and Matt will be our champion. Roll the dice Nels, and good luck. (Nels rolls the dice)And the roll is... a Double! (Doubles!) (Audience Applause)The good news is you got an Insurance Marker for rolling a Double, but the bad news is that you have to use it right away since 6 is a Bad Roll. Roll again. (Nels rolls the dice)And the... roll.... IS... a 7, and this time, it's not a lucky roll as your luck has finally run out! (Bad Roll! GAME OVER!)And that means that Matt has claimed redemption and is our champion once again! Column 1: Pair of Bicycles - $2,998

Nels: 0/None/$1800 (GAME OVER)
Matt: 1(1 Super Insurance Marker)/None/$1200 (CHAMPION!)(Audience Cheers and Applause)(HR 1986 Match Win Cue)  We'll talk with Matt in just a moment. Nels, you certainly deserved to be a champion here on this show as you were the first one to finally break the Super Numbers' perfect record, but unfortunately, they are now glad to see you go as your luck has ran out against a very formidable opponent. Also, you had the chance to drive out of here with a brand-new car last time, and it's a shame that you declined that offer, but that's OK! You are a fantastic champion here, right everybody? (Audience Cheers and Applause)So hold your head up high as you're leaving here with $1,800 cash in this round, and we're going to add that to the $10,243 in cash and prizes that you've won from the Qualification Round, and the $228,113 in cash and prizes that you've won previously, and your final total for your 2-night stay on Super High Rollers as a defeated champion comes to... $240,156 $240,156! Please put your hands together for Nels Snesrud! (Audience Cheers and Applause)Well, well, well, Matt! You came back here tonight due to our error, and you have made the most of it, and you have claimed redemption as champion once again! Now, since you didn't pick any prizes in this round, we're going to give you a consolation cash bonus of 5 times the value of each number that's knocked off in this round, or $1,500 cash, along with a $2,000 cash bonus for winning the game, and with the $8,249 in cash and prizes that you've won from the Elimination Round, and the $42,527 that you've won previously, and so far, your total is $54,276 in cash and prizes, and when we come back, you're going up against the Super Numbers for a possible payoff of $250,000, and then to the Drive to 25 Bonus Game for the Hot Jackpot of $305,000 and a brand-new car, and it's all coming up right after this!

(HR' Game Win Cue at 2:38) 1--2--3--4--5--6
7--8--9--10--11--12 Burton: And now, it's time for the Super Numbers on Super High Rollers!DK: Thank you, Burton! Welcome back to Super High Rollers as I'm here with our champion who has redeemed himself, Matt Ringgenberg, who so far has won $54,276 in cash and prizes! (Audience Cheers and Applause)And now, it's time to go for even more cash by defeating the Super Numbers! Now here's how this works, Matt. First of all, we're going to start by initiating your Bonus Bank at $100,000. BONUS BANK: $100,000With a few good guesses based on how much you know about Groceries, and a few lucky rolls of the dice, that Bonus Bank could be worth up to $250,000! (Audience Cheers and Applause)And you can do all of that with the help of the Money Dice! Now, for winning the game and becoming our champion, you've been awarded with 1 free roll of the Money Dice, and you have a chance to add 3 more rolls by guessing the following products correctly by predicting whether the next item is either higher or lower than the last one. Burton, what are the products are we dealing with today?  Burton: First, we have a medium jar of Francesco Rinaldi pasta sauce. This lively recipe combines a variety of Italian seasonings with a more generous helping of ripe tomatoes.
Second is a medium box of Ritz crackers. Whether it’s a formal event or a gathering of friends, these tasty round crackers are an ideal snack food, appetizer or quick meal for any occasion.
Third is a large box of DiGiorno pizza. The DIGIORNO frozen pizza is topped with sausage, pepperoni, beef and mozzarella cheese, delivering an easy dinner that's also delicious. The tasty pizza crust offers a soft and tender inside surrounded by a crispy outside.
And finally, a medium can of Pringles potato chips. What comes next after the “pop” of a Pringles Original can? The crisp, tantalizing taste of potato that hits the spot every time. Insanely light, crispy, and never greasy, each crisp brings satisfying saltiness. DK: Thank you for that, Burton. Now then, Burton has listed the groceries for this edition of the Super Numbers today to you. Now, keep in mind Matt, that all of these items have the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price off of the West Coast. With that said, the price of the pasta sauce is... PASTA SAUCE: $2.58CRACKERS: ----- PIZZA: ----- POTATO CHIPS: ----- $2.58. Now, for another roll of the Money Dice, is the price of the Crackers higher or lower than $2.58? |

Going lower, and you are... PASTA SAUCE: $2.58 CRACKERS: $5.43 PIZZA: $7.76POTATO CHIPS: ----- (Buzzer)...wrong! It's actually higher. And with that, you can't naturally build the bank up to $250,000. However, the good news is that if you manage to pass through the Money Dice, you'll then have one last chance to go for $250,000. Now let's shake it off and head over to the Potato Chips. Is that higher or lower than $7.76? |

You are going lower again... PASTA SAUCE: $2.58 CRACKERS: $5.43 PIZZA: $7.76POTATO CHIPS: $3.61(Ding)...and this time, you are right! So, you have earned 2 additional rolls, for a total of 3 rolls of the Money Dice, and that's where you're going to right now, to hopefully build up as much money as you can and into your Bonus Bank. And here they are... $250 $300 $350 $400 $450 $500 (totally safe) $500 $550 $600 $650 $700 $750 (totally safe) $625 $750 $800 $900 $1000 BANDIT $0 $875 $1000 $1250 $1500 BANDIT These are the 4 Money Dice, and in a moment, you're going to pick 2 of them from this black bag...  The Dice will be shuffled at random before you pick. Once you pick the 2 Dice out of the bag by selecting A-B-C-D, you'll then submit a Dice Code 1-36. Whatever pops up, hopefully money will show, and whatever money shows on the dice will be added to the Bonus Bank. Now, since you have 3 rolls, the first roll will be worth face value, and then the 2nd roll will be worth Double, and the 3rd and final roll will be worth Triple. IF you make it that far... And the reason why I said that is because you may notice that 2 of those dice have these...  the dreaded Bandit. You want to avoid him because if he shows up, then that roll will be worth nothing, and you must remain at the current level (single) until a good roll is made. And believe it or not, that Bandit can make a big difference on what you are playing for in the Super Numbers. If a total of three Bandits are rolled, the Money Dice ends and the bonus bank of the Super Numbers will be reduced to $75,000. If 2 Bandits are rolled one time, the Money Dice instantly ends and the bonus bank of the Super Numbers is cut down to $50,000. If you have less than 3 Bandits rolled after your rolls have been used, you will then have one last roll to determine how much you are playing for in the Super Numbers. But right now, let's pick 2 of the 4 Money Dice from the bag. Remember, choose A-B-C-D from it, and then give me a single Dice Roll Code 1-36 and good luck. |

And your third and final roll is... [$625] [$350]$975, but that is doubled to $1,950! (Audience Applause)You're done with the Money Dice, and we're going to add $3,500 to the Bonus Bank, giving it a new total of... BONUS BANK: $103,500$103,500. Now then, it's time for the final roll of the first phase. I'm now going to give you 2 regular dice and the total number of the 2 dice will determine the final outcome of what you are going to be playing for in the Super Numbers. Here's the lowdown... 7, 11, 12 = $250,000 6, 8 = Double Bonus Bank 2, 5, 9, 10 = Bonus Bank Remains the Same 3, 4 = Cuts Bonus Bank in 1/2 If the roll totals 3 or 4, and the Bonus Bank will be cut in half to $51,750. Roll a 2, a 5, a 9 or 10, and you'll be playing for exactly that amount: $103,500. Roll a 6 or an 8, and you'll be playing double the bank, or $207,000. However, if you roll a 7, an 11, or a 12, and you'll be playing for $250,000! (Audience Applause)So, if you're ready Matt, give me a Dice Roll code 1-36, and let's see what you'll be playing for in the Super Numbers! |

(Matt rolls the dice)And you have rolled... an 8! Well done! (Audience Applause)That means that we're going to Double the Bonus Bank, meaning that you are now playing for... BONUS BANK: $207,000$207,000! But in order to collect of what's in the Bonus Bank, you must defeat...the Super Numbers! 1--2--3--4--5--6
7--8--9--10--11--12 At long last, we've reached the stars of our show, the Super Numbers, where those 12 humongous numbers stand between you and the Bonus Bank.    Now, here are the Super Dice. They will help you defeat the Super Numbers. For each Super Number that's knocked off, you'll win $2,000, but if you clean up the board by eliminating all 12 Super Numbers, and you are $207,000 richer! (Audience Cheers and Applause)And a few more things. We have those Insurance Markers and Super Insurance Markers. Any time you roll a Double, those Insurance Markers will get you out of trouble and in a hurry. A Triple gives you a Super Insurance Marker. They could be in good use for getting 3 regular Insurance Markers in case of Bad Rolls. Get 3 Super Insurance Markers, or if you roll 3 Triples in a row, and you'll also win $207,000! (More Cheers and Applause)Now, during the break, you had a Super Insurance Marker, but you've traded that for 3 regular Insurance Markers, and you have those for a headstart. Are you ready to go, Matt?
