(ding)(audience cheers) That's exactly right, Uno. Uno is Spanish for "one". Nicely solved, Bob. Now, Minnie, where's the $10 Money Card? (Minnie turns over #6) (lights in motion)Oh, it's behind #6. I forgot already that Minnie can't talk. Bob, the lights are locked into your buzzer. Good luck, and fire when ready. (a letter from A-I on the thread, please)

(I join the others)
Well, Bob, ask and ye shall receive. (to Jake) G'day, haven't seen you in years. (Jake responds)
I know some of you are wondering, "How can we be offering a trip to Australia when there's this bloody pandemic going around?" That's why we're offering travel insurance or the cash value of the trip.
Now, Bob, I'm not going to touch the price at all. It's $12, you have an $84 lead. If you bought, you'd only have a $72 lead. What do you think of this trip and this gold coin?
