$1,180 from Matt this time....what does that get us? I'm going to have to sit down for this, I think. I'd like to announce that Young & Restless will not be seen today. If you review the bids, you'll see that Matt and Raymond have danced around a green light a few times now. A yellow light can be anywhere from $100 to $500 high or low from the price. Next bid, please. |

Raymond, you fought the hard fight and finally won! C'mon up here and let's play a pricing game, shall we? Tell us about yourself please, Raymond. I take it you're into bowling, are ya? |

Yeah, I enjoy bowling myself, although I think I've bowled over a 200 maybe once in my life! Still, it's a great game to play while socializing with friends. Well Raymond, you and Matt had an epic battle just now and I think you've earned yourself a nice prize or two -- or maybe even three -- Rich, what do we have to offer Raymond? Rich: Well Raymond, up first for you we have an air conditioner!  The Honeywell 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, in black/silver, has a sleek, modern design and cools areas up to 550 square feet. With three-in-one technology, 3M electrostatic filter and an environmentally friendly compressor, this portable air conditioner delivers optimum cooling and dehumidifying. The full-function remote control allows you to operate it from across the room. Go ahead Global Warming, take your best shot! Moving right along, we have a fabulous Alaskan cruise!  We invite you to experience Alaska as only Princess can show you. We offer a range of enriching options to see the Great Land's glaciers, wildlife and national parks from the perspective of spectacular ships, exclusive rail service and Princess-owned wilderness lodges. Come find yourself in the heart of the wilderness and let Princess show you the way. The cruise is for 2 people, each in their own suite on the ship, round trip coach airfare from Los Angeles to Vancouver, Canada and boarding the ship in Vancouver Harbor Take off, hosers! and finally Raymond, we also offer you a brand new motorcycle!  Harley-Davidson adds to its extensive ’small bike’ family with the 2015 Iron 883. With roots going all the way back through earlier XL models to the 1950’s K-Model, the Iron has a top-notch pedigree with plenty of modern features to keep it relevant in the current entry-level market. Not only that, the chicks dig it, dude! Raymond, it's a prize package worth...........$16,094! Wow, sixteen grand worth of prizes for you Raymond, if you are a successful...  delineator!
Raymond, this is a simple yet tricky game we have here. Let me start by saying that the prices for those 3 prizes are right there on that board. The air conditioner is a 3-digit price, the Alaskan cruise is a 4-digit price and that Harley is a 5-digit price. 3 + 4 + 5 equals 12, yet we have 14 numbers on this board. This is where the delineation comes in. You have to remove 2 of those numbers such that once they are removed, you'll be left with the 3 prices for those prizes, delineated by the spaces you created by taking out those numbers.
If you take out the right two numbers Raymond, you'll win all 3 of those prizes. I'll give you 2 chances at it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, otherwise, which two numbers are we getting out of there?

I don't think you fully understand, Raymond. If you removed the first 3 and the second 2, you'd have prices of $10, $69,952 and $25,203. You need to create three prices, one with 3-digits in it, one with 4 and one with 5. So, I won't count that as your first turn, try again, please.

I wanna make sure I understand. Does it have to be the 3 then the 4 then the 5?

No, it doesn't have to be in order, it could be 3 5 4 or 4 5 3 -- the board just has to form a 3-digit price, a 4-digit price and a 5-digit price in any order. Think of it as Double Squeeze Play but without the squeeze -- sounds like the drink I ordered at the bar last night.  So, let's use this board as an example: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 8 7 6 5 4 I could remove the first 4 and the 9 and I would get: 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 8 7 6 5 4 or I could remove the first 5 and the 9 and I would get: 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 8 7 6 5 4 or I could remove the first 6 and the second 7 and I would get: 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 8 6 5 4 like that -- each time I formed 3 prices, one with 3 digits, one with 4 digits, one with 5 digits. |

I'm not sure how else to explain this to you, Raymond. If you removed the second 9 and the last 3, that would only create two prices, the first one would be $10,369 and the second one would be $5,222,520.
Look at the examples I gave you again. Make sure that after you have removed the 2 numbers, you are left with one number that is 3-digits long, another that is 4-digits long and another that is 5-digits long. By removing the second 9 and the last 3, you created one that was 5-digits long (which is ok) and one that was 7-digits long (which is not ok).

Raymond wants to remove the second nine and the last five, so let's get those out of there for him, will you please?  (ding) Raymond says that air conditioner is $203, he says the cruise to Alaska is $5,222 and Raymond puts a price of $10,369 on that beautiful bike. The question is...is Raymond right? (bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) No, that's not right Raymond, so that means that either one or both of those numbers that you just removed should not have been removed. I think you have the idea now though and you have one more crack at it, so let's put those numbers back for Raymond, please. (ding) Try again, Raymond.

Raymond, again, removing those numbers would create only two prices: $520 and $103,699,522.
Here are your choices, choose one of these, please:
1 0 3 6 9 5 2 2 5 2 0 3 (i.e. $10,369 for the bike, $522 for the A/C, $5,203 for the cruise)
1 0 3 6 9 5 2 2 2 2 0 3 (i.e. $1,036 for the cruise, $95,222 for the bike, $203 for the A/C)
1 0 3 9 9 5 2 2 5 2 0 3 (i.e. $103 for the A/C, $9,952 for the cruise, $25,203 for the bike)
It's one of those combinations Raymond, which one is it?

So for his second try at it, Raymond removes the second 9 and the third 2, so let's take those away, please.  (ding) This time, Raymond's going for a $522 air conditioner, a $5,203 cruise and he's sticking with the Harley being $10,369. I ask you...is Raymond right this time?  (ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding) He is! Congratulations Raymond, you've won all three prizes!! Now, if anyone needs me, I'll be back at the bar having another Double Squeeze Play!
We have one more pricing game to go folks, and it'll go, right after we see this!

Raymond, it's a prize package worth...........$16,094! Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't revealing the total of the prize package pretty much give away the prices of the prizes? I mean, it didn't in this particular game, but there's only one combination of prices on that board that would add up to the total of the prize package. |

Yeah, I thought about that myself after the fact. I won't announce that if we play this again sometime in the future.

(fade in with applause) Well Rich, I think we've had a pretty decent show so far, wouldn't you say? Rich: We have indeed Glen, lots of great contestants and we've given away a bunch of stuff! We had an epic 12-bid duel between Raymond and Matt in our last Green Means Go bidding game. I wonder what's going to happen this time! What's our last item up for bids today, Rich? Rich: It's a backyard playground!  The Misty Kingdom Bouncer has 4 different activities to keep even the most high energy of children happily occupied for hours on end. This inflatable combines a bounce house, slide, water park and ball pit all in one! Don't repeatedly waste your money putting your ADHD kids on Ritalin -- just get them a Bouncer! Small male Erik Estrada-looking child not included. Wow, that makes you wish you were a kid again, doesn't it? If I jumped on that thing now, it would make some awful noise and then no doubt deflate like a Tom Brady football!
We're taking bids on this item now, folks. A reminder, one bid, then the traffic light, then another bid, etc, etc.
Who will be our final contestant of the show?
