Hi Bryan,
I am 57, I live near historic Washington Crossing Pennsylvania with my wife of 33 years and our son who just turned 25 recently.
For the past 5 years and change I have been employed by a small business in town that sells equipment for first responders, mainly for their vehicles.
My primary duty is entering orders into the computer system that we receive through e-mails from our clients, but also do alpha and numeric filing, daily and monthly financial reports, data base management, proofreading and reconciling in house purchase orders.
In my spare time I enjoy watching vintage sitcoms and TV programs from the 1950s through the 1990s, as well as a huge game show fan. As a matter of fact I own two replica decks of cards from the old TV show Gambit as well as a regular sized red and blue deck of replica Card Sharks cards as well which I enjoy using!
I also am a novice US Historian, specifically with United States Presidents, something my Mom got me into when I was 7 years old right after Richard Nixon's resignation as our 37th President back in August 1974.

You bet I am. The Teen Titans were happy that I won. Also, they treated me to a pizza. Whether I win or not, they said I am a winner either way.

Well in any case, good luck to both gentlemen! Here is an example of what the board could look like!  See how the 100, 300 and $500 are connected? The object is to get three of the same amount and if you do, you win triple the amount including a special surprise prize! Also up there is a WILD CARD, and if you match that with any two of the same amount, you still win that amount including a trip to Chicago worth almost $7,000! Not connected are five blanks, reveal one and you lose your turn! Also unconnected five money bags, and if you get three money bags... (ding)  You will break the bank which tonight starts at.... (ding) $11,000!  (huge applause) It goes up $500 every time it goes unclaimed and of course bear in mind, it takes two games to win and the first to do so heads to Bank or Bust! Bill as the challenger, you get to start us off! Choose a box please!  |

Thank you, I'll start with box 9 please.

Box number 9!  It is a $300 box!  I will ask you true or false, and you are in the red position, if you are correct, that box will light up red! If you are wrong, it lights up blue and you lose your turn! True or false: Sow is a female pig. |

I believe that is true.

You believed correct, you have one $300 box! (applause)  That red light means that belongs to you! Where is the next $300 box? |

Downstairs to number 14!  It is a money bag! (ding)  (OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) Now Bill you already have one $300 box! If you decide to keep the money bag, you forfeit your turn! If you wish to keep playing, you must return it! What is your decision? |
|

Post by billmcdee on Aug 12, 2024 5:23:31 GMT -5
I had a slight hunch that was going to happen, I will keep it and forfeit my turn.

True.

Is box number 11 the last $100 box?  Yes it is!  (huge applause) Get this right and you win $300 and a special surprise prize! But if you are wrong, Bill gets the block! True or false: Diamonds cannot burn. |

Diamonds burn, but the temperature depends on whether or not the diamonds are in contact with air. You have won the game!  (applause)  Bill it seems keeping that money bag set up your downfall there, but you did get one money which means you do get $500 for that! George on the other hand gets to choose one of those three $100 boxes that has something special behind them. Would you like 1, 6 or 11 George? |
