Some of the cards
Will bring frowns to your faces
But smiles will abound
When they are deuces and aces.

I recently turned 57 years young. I live near historic Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania with my wife of almost 33 years and our 24 year old son.
I work full time as an office clerk and order entry clerk for a family owned business in town that sells equipment for first responders.
In my spare time I enjoy vintage game shows, board games, card games, vintage TV and watching US History documentaries.

Good luck to you, Shederick. We play the best 2 out of 3 rounds. Whoever wins both games will be playing the Money Cards including at least a chance at winning a brand new automobile. *grabs card* We begin round 1 with the first question for our champion. Shederick, we asked 100 senior citizens: DO YOU DO MOST OF YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING ONLINE OR IN STORES?How many of them said they did most of their Holiday shopping online? |

Post by djshadowwolf420 on Dec 29, 2023 5:34:40 GMT -5
I would say 60 online as they are tired of the shenanigans of in store chaos.

I would say 60 online as they are tired of the shenanigans of in store chaos. Any specific reasons why you think the answer is 60, Shederick? |

Post by djshadowwolf420 on Dec 29, 2023 19:21:09 GMT -5
60 because they are tired of shopping in store

[DING]60 out of 100 said they did most of their Holiday shopping online. What do you think of that answer, Bill... higher or lower?

Post by billmcdee on Dec 30, 2023 4:12:20 GMT -5
I think the key word is "most". And while I think many, including seniors, may do SOME shopping online, I like to think that they perhaps still prefer to look around and get some ideas in person.
With the pandemic and being closed in I think people are more eager to get out and about again, plus some seniors are not at all tech or computer savvy whatsoever, so I believe it will be lower than 60.

[DING]If it's lower, you'll be playing your cards. If not, Shederick will be playing his cards. And if one of you have gotten the answer exactly, we'll give you a $1,000 bonus. Shederick says 60 of them and Bill says it's lower. The actual number of senior citizens who said they did most of their Holiday shopping online is... [DING-DING-DING, APPLAUSE]41. Bill is right... it is lower. And to start off the new year, Bill is gonna begin with his base card... a 3! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

*fade to promo, back to studio* [COMMERCIAL CUE]Bob Hilton: If you live in Southern California and would like to become a contestant on Card Sharks, call area code--And once again, here's Tony.[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: Thank you, Bob. And welcome back to Card Sharks. Let's take a look at the board. So far, Bill has a one card advantage while Shederick haven't touched his base card yet. We'll resume our first round with our second question. *grabs card* Bill... we asked 100 people: HAVE YOU EVER SNUCK A FEW EXTRA ITEMS INTO THE TEN ITEMS OR LESS LINE AT THE GROCERY STORE?How many of them said they had? |

Post by billmcdee on Jan 1, 2024 19:19:14 GMT -5
Every time I buy a dozen eggs I do so.
I think that is fairly common, even if it's only 1 or 2 extra items, especially considering there are other items near the checkout line such as gum, candy and magazines that some folks might add on at the last second.
I believe 74 out of 100 have done so.
