[6 ♣][___][___][C*S][C*S] Freeze bar gets moved over for you. You're one card away from returning to the Money Cards. You could get there, or Nels could tie the game up. It could be decided with this third high-low question. We found 100 people who wear glasses, and we asked them: "Do glasses make you look smart?" How many people said yes, Nels?

I may be biased but as one who has worn glasses since 1981, I think they make me look somewhat smarter, even if it doesn't make me smarter in actuality.
I think for many others glasses add a certain amount of intelligence look to them, so I'll say higher than 50.

Nels says 50. [__][__][50] *ding* We heard from Bill, and we'll lock him in with higher. [HI][__][50] *ding* Having had glasses since the third grade, I can say I feel smarter because I can read clearer. We'll find out what our people surveyed had to say. Actual number who said glasses make them look smart is... [HI][82][50] *dingdingding* 82 of them! Bill's right, it was higher. They and those who see them agree. It dignifies them. ———————————————|BILL

It comes down to Sudden Death. Someone must win on this final play of the cards. We decide things with this high-low question, asked to 100 psychiatrists...
"Which is better: wanting or having?"
How many psychiatrists said wanting is better than having, Bill?

Post by billmcdee on Aug 24, 2024 19:06:41 GMT -5
I think a majority of psychiatrists would think wanting is better than having.
Wanting gives people more of a drive. "Enjoy the journey" philosophy as it were.
Some people who have it all or seem to have it all tend to be miserable or bored perhaps.
I'll say 77 psychiatrists will say wanting is better than having.

You say lower. [77][__][LO] *ding* Actual number of psychiatrists who told us that wanting is better than having is... [77][81][LO] *dingdingding* 81 of them! It could be the ambition, as Bill said before. These psychiatrists are still experts in the mind. Bill, this is what you're looking at. ———————————————|BILL

NELS
[6 ♣][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S] You need to call one card to return to the Money Cards. You can do so off your ten or a change. If you're wrong, you and Nels will play the tiebreaker. You can pass control to Nels who must play off his six. If he's wrong on any of his calls, you win the game. If he goes on a perfect run, we go to the tiebreaker. Play or pass?
