$ale of the Century - Board Game Hybrid - Episode 2

[brendan85r]

Well, it's not so much a pain, because with regular motion you won't need to wind it twice a year.

How about $7 with $2,000 cash?

[palmer7]

Make it $6 and you've got a deal.

[brendan85r]

I can go one better - $6 for the watch, plus $3,000 cash.

Going once, going twice, going three times...?

[palmer7]

(hits buzzer) Sold!

[brendan85r]

And there we go; another done deal.

Greg: $40
Frank: $20

Two more questions before our next Fame Game, so let's go.

12. The observation that “anything can go wrong will go wrong” is commonly known as “whose Law”?
(BUZZCODE: 65)
* Greg buzzes in - 76 *
GREG: Murphy's Law.
Yes; that's the watch almost paid off.

Greg: $45
Frank: $20

13. In America, radio and television stations whose callsigns start with “K” are mostly situated to the west of what river?
(BUZZCODE: 92)
* Frank buzzes in - 41 *
FRANK: Mississippi
Exactly, and you're now $20 behind Greg again.

Greg: $45
Frank: $25

Now to the Fame Game - all the money and the Wild Card are up there as well. Still anyone's game.

Please send me your buzzcode and number of clues.

[brendan85r]

And here we go.

14. What is my three-word name?
(a) I am a movie. I was first released in the United States in 1987.
(b) I am based on a semiautobiographical novel, The Short-Timers, my author also contributing to the writing of this film.
(c) My main story is set into two sections, covering the respective training and action of soldiers during the Vietnam War.
(BUZZCODE ON THIRD CLUE: 14)

* Frank hits buzzer - 30 *

Frank?

[Frank]

Good Will Hunting?

[Frank]

stupid emoticon I put ? ? ? after Goodwill Hunting meaning it's just a guess not sad face

[brendan85r]

Well, "Good Will Hunting" is incorrect anyway (as it was released in 1997, not 1987).

(NEW RULE FOR FAME GAME)
Since Greg had a buzzcode on the third clue, he gets a free shot on the next clue.

(d.) My main characters include Privates Cowboy, Joker and Pyle, and the hard-tempered Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.

[palmer7]

Full Metal Jacket.

[brendan85r]

That's what we needed.
I'll put up the board shortly (with some "refreshed" pics of our celebrities).

[brendan85r]

And here's the "refreshed" board:



Greg - take your pick.

[palmer7]

Tony Barber again, please.

[brendan85r]

I'm sure Tony might have some money...





That widens the gap a bit more:

Greg: $55
Frank: $25

When we come back, I'll show where the remaining money cards are, plus there are still 8 questions to go worth $10 each, so Frank has a chance to catch up and hold on to the championship.

Don't go away!
