Ten Chances
Posted on August 12, 2013

The contestant is given a total of ten chances to write down the prices of a two-digit prize, a three-digit prize, and a car. The contestant is shown three digits, two of which are the price of the two-digit prize. Once that is won, the contestant is shown four digits, three of which are the price of the three-digit prize. If that is won, then the contestant is shown the five digits in the price of the car.

One at a time, the contestant is shown prices that increase in value. If the contestant believes that the price is lower than the price of a car, then the contestant proceeds. If the contestant believes that the price is the first price higher than the price of the car, then the contestant stops. If successful, then the contestant wins the car.

The five digits in the price of a car are shown to the contestant and placed in a bag along with three strikes. The contestant must draw a number and determine its position in the price of the car. If the contestant completes the price of the car before drawing the three strikes, then the contestant wins the car.

In this game, five grocery items are described to the contestant. The contestant is given 10 seconds to place the five grocery items into one of three categories. If the contestant is successful, then they win the full $20,000.

 

If the contestant has miscategorized one or more of the grocery items, the $20,000 will begin to rapidly count down. As it does so, the contestant must rearrange the grocery items so that all five are categorized correctly- once they do, they win the remaining money displayed on the readout.

 

The game continues in this manner until the contestant has either categorized all five items correctly, thereby winning the money displayed; or the readout reaches $0, at which point the contestant wins nothing.

If the contestant identifies the price that is closest to the price of the car without going over, then the contestant wins all three cars.
