Jim Thornton: Aces, deuces through tens and faces, Call 'em right, and you'll be going places on...
And now, here is the host of Card Sharks, Kevin Kolsen!
Me: Hi, everybody! This is Card Sharks once again! If you were watching yesterday, he crowned a brand new champ. He had a good day at the Money Cards. He'd like to win more, but there's an opponent waiting to dethrone him. Let's meet them right now!
*Matt and Mark run to their podiums*
Matt Ringgenberg, it's great to see you again. You won $22,500 yesterday.
*cheers and applause*
How does it all feel?

I bet it does. What do you say we play some more? Here's how it works.
MATT
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
MARK
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
The lovely Charlene is dealing Matt's cards on top. Mark will play the cards along the bottom row dealt by Terri. The object is to get from one side of the board to the other by making calls on whether you think the next card is higher or lower than the one preceding it. Whoever wins the game best of three goes to the Money Cards. To get control, you need to win a high-low toss-up question. First question goes to the champ. We surveyed 100 people...
"Should a politician who engages in tax fraud be removed from office?"
How many people said yes, Matt?

64 out of 100 said that a politician should be removed from office for engaging in tax fraud. [64][__][__]
Think that actual number is higher or lower, Mark?

That would certainly be a valid reason to remove a politician from office. I'll say higher

Higher says Mark. [64][__][HI] *ding*
Actual number of people who believe a politician who engages in tax fraud should be removed from office is...
[64][82][HI] *dingdingding* 82! It was indeed higher! Mark had a better handle on human nature, so he'll start the calling. MATT
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
MARK
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] Take a look at your base card, Mark.
MATT
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
MARK
[10♠][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] A ten.

Keeping the ten. Unusual move, but you can do that. Is it lower?
MATT
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
MARK
[10♠][10♦][C*S][C*S][C*S] No. *buzzer* You lose control with that double.
MATT
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
MARK
[10♠][___][C*S][C*S][C*S] You've also given Matt a chance. He will call off...
MATT
[6 ♣][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
MARK
[10♠][___][C*S][C*S][C*S] A six. |

Higher than the six?
MATT
[6 ♣][2 ♥][C*S][C*S][C*S]
MARK
[10♠][___][C*S][C*S][C*S] A two. *buzzer* Not higher. MATT
[6 ♣][___][C*S][C*S][C*S]
MARK
[10♠][___][C*S][C*S][C*S] Two calls, and we're already on our second high-low question. Mark, we asked 100 fourth graders...
"Have you ever stayed up past midnight on a night other than New Years' Eve?"
How many said yes, Mark?

Matt says and I quote a little higher.
[HI][__][26]
*ding*
Actual number of fourth graders who have stayed up past midnight on a night other than New Years' Eve is...
[HI][21][26]
*dingdingding*
21 of them. Not higher, it was just a bit lower. Few ideas as to how that may be. Maybe they were waiting for Santa or the Tooth Fairy. MATT
[6 ♣][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
MARK
[10♠][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] Mark, you still have that ten. You can call off it again or change.

Changing it this time. We'll instead have you call off...

We have our first freeze of the game...
MATT
[6 ♣][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
—————|MARK
[Q ♥][7 ♦][C*S][C*S][C*S] Mark isn't going to budge from his seven. Third high-low question is this, asked to 100 single men...
"Have you ever dated more than one person at a single time?"
How many single men said yes, Matt?

Okay, then. [22][__][HI]
*ding* Mark thinks it's higher. Actual number of single men who have dated more than one person at the same time is... [22][71][HI]
*dingdingding* 71! How about that? It was much, much higher! They could be gigolos, with nowhere else to go if their dates ever found out.
MATT
[6 ♣][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]

[Q ♥][7 ♦][C*S][C*S][C*S] Mark, you can now change your seven if you wish.
