Doug: And welcome back to The Big Risk. Andy Silikovitz is our three-time winner. And he's about to play for CY$250,000.
Now, not to rub it in -- but had he risked on every card in Round 2 and made it here, we *would* be playing for a million. But, Andy, if you can win your next game, that will ensure CY$1,000,00 will be somewhere on the big bonus board.
For now, we're going to start with four True or False questions. Each correct answer entitles you a selection of the bonus board....
|
Doug: ...where there are 80 different amounts of cyber-in play. Each number from 1 to 80 has been randomly assigned an amount. Three of those numbers hide the top three prizes of Bronze, Silver and Gold...
|
Doug: ... which, respectively, are worth CY$75,000; CY$100,000 and CY$250,000.
Doug: Also, ten of the remaining amounts are worth less than CY$100 each. Those are all the Joker's numbers and you want to try and steer clear of those.
Should you find one of the top three payoffs or one of the ten lowest amounts, we'll mask the payoff on the readout with question marks. You may then either take the amount on the board or accept our guaranteed counter-offer of CY$2500 per correct answer.
Let's start with the questions -- good luck.
True or false: Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving in November.
Andy: False.
Doug: October.
True or false: Terra-cotta is often used to make swimwear.
Andy: False.
Doug: Used to make floors, pots and so on.
True or false: Homer's Iliad is a poem.
Andy: True.
Doug: Three for three. Last one.
True or false: Harry Houdini trained his dog to escape from a pair of miniature handcuffs.
Andy: True.
Doug: That's four. (audience cheers) Four right answers give you four picks at the bonus board. Good luck and go for the gold.
Andy: Unlucky 13, Sweet 16, 21 for Blackjack, 41 for my age.
Doug: Okie doke. Let's isolate 13, 16, 21 and 41.
|
Doug: And since you picked the numbers in order from lowest to highest, we'll reveal them in that order one at a time starting with -- 13.
|
Doug: Well, you're right about one thing. Thirteen's turning out to be unlucky. (audience laughs) Remember, the Joker's numbers are worth *less than* CY$100 each. That's why we reveal CY$175 upfront. So you may stop now and take the CY$175 -- or give it back to see the amount attached to 16.
Andy: Let's see #16.
Doug: Thought you might decline. Let's see 16.
|
(ding) (scattered cheers)
Doug: Well, a definite improvement -- CY$8000. Want to quit here and take the eight grand -- or give that cyber-money back to us to see what's at 21?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Andy: Show me more money at #21.
Doug: Hey, the man's already won 86-grand-and-change. He can afford to throw CY$8000 away. Question is did he trade up?
|
Doug: Um -- no. Well -- 2250 or the amount at 41?
(audience shouts suggestions; most of which say "go")
Andy: Show me my age, 41 and more money.
Doug: Well, we'll do the former. But the latter's up to the board. He had as much as CY$8000. Does he win more?
GO FOR THE GOLD CONTINUES
