Probably saving some money, losing a couple of pounds, and maybe finding a new line of work.  |

Meanwhile, I'll resolve to improve my memory. All I know is this board got it right. Here's how we play.
KOURTNEY
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
DAVID
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
You two will try get from one side of the board to the other, calling higher or lower than the card preceding it. Win two out of three rounds, and you go to the Money Cards. To call your cards, you need to win a high-low toss-up question. These questions are designed to judge your ability to analyze human nature. This first one goes to Kourtney. We asked 100 people:
"Do you currently have a flip phone?"
How many said yes, Kourtney?

The more things change the more people yearn back for yesterday. It seems that a lot of people don’t want to spend the money for a smartphone or be attached to technology that much. However, I still think the number is going to be low; 19.

Eighteen out of 100 have a flip phone.
[18][__][__]
David, do you thank the actual number is higher or lower than that?

Even lower. [18][__][LO] *ding* Actual number of people who said they currently have a flip phone is...
[18][12][LO] *dingdingding* 12 of them! David was right to go lower. Most of them are with the times, but if they're used to it, then there's no stopping them. KOURTNEY
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
DAVID
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] David, we get to hear from you first. You have... KOURTNEY
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
DAVID
[A.♠][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] An Ace!

KOURTNEY

—————|DAVID
[A.♠][8 ♣][C*S][C*S][C*S] Quick middle card, David protects his position there. Let's play our second high-low question. We polled 100 people who are divorced:
"Were your parents divorced?"
How many divorcees said yes, David?

Out of 100 divorced people, 45 also witnessed their own parents getting divorced. [__][__][45]*ding*
Kourtney, what say you?

Post by pathfinder20 on Jan 6, 2024 18:29:27 GMT -5
Having seen divorce myself. I would think it would be even higher.

Post by koopakid17 on Jan 6, 2024 19:36:27 GMT -5
Higher it is. That's for your guess, and the actual number of divorced people whose parents also experienced divorce is... 55 of them; it was indeed higher. Sometimes, it's a cautionary tale, other times it's just deja vu. KOURTNEY
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]

[A.♠][8 ♣][C*S][C*S][C*S] Kourtney, you get to call your deck for the first time. KOURTNEY
