Right now, Greg is risking a $7,926 Entertainment Package, but we'll need another contestant to take him on. ********* Quick recap (and revision) of the rules: - Two contestants start on $20 each
- Three sets of questions - closest "buzzcode" to the generated number (1 to 100) will have the advantage
- First two sets of questions $5 for each correct answer ($5 deducted for a wrong answer), third set $10 for each correct answer ($10 deducted for a wrong answer)
- Two "Fame Game" questions - five clues (and a buzzcode assigned to each clue); first in with the correct answer has the advantage. Incorrect answer will lock that contestant out but without a score penalty
- If both contestants ask for the same clue and the first contestant answers incorrectly, the other contestant will get the next clue
- First Fame Game will have $10 and $15 cards; second Fame Game will have $25 and "Pick Again or $2,000" cards added; other faces will have prizes
- Three set scores for Gift Shop / Instant Bargain; first contestant to reach those scores can play for prizes as follows:
- $35 - Starting value $5
- $45 - Starting value $10
- $55 - Starting value $15
- If a Fame Game cash amount passes one of those scores (e.g. picking $10, thus $30 to $40), the contestant can choose to purchase the prize if they wish
- If a Fame Game cash amount passes two of those scores (e.g. picking $15, thus $30 to $45), the higher-valued Gift Shop prize will be offered (and the lower-valued Gift Shop will be skipped)
- After all 22 questions, the contestant with the highest score wins the game
- If both finish on the same score, an additional "Fame Game" question will be asked (same rules apply)
- Correct answer earns an additional $10 (per questions 15-22) and the win
- Incorrect answer costs $10 (also per questions 15-22) and wins it for the other contestant
- The winning contestant can choose to use their winning score to buy a large prize, or risk their score for a higher level of prize
- Major prize levels are worth $75 (first level prize), $155 (second level), $240 (third level), $330 (fourth level), $420 (fifth level), $515 (car), $605 (all prizes) and $700 (all prizes plus $100,000 cash)

OK, back up and running - almost.
Just need one person to challenge Greg in this game.

OK; I'll just wait for Greg to confirm if he'll continue to play.

OK, let's get to it! **********************************************
It was another close call that decided the previous game in the last few questions, with Greg emerging as the new champion.
With just $95 and a win in this game, he can purchase a $16,999 Sea Doo.
Or will our new challenger Raymond Weaver "weave" his way to victory?
I'm Brendan Richards, and this is $ale of the Century. Yes, the first two episodes ended in close finishes; now it's Greg's chance to keep on winning. Greg, how are you feeling right now? |

Fine and dandy, like sugar candy. I've already got 20-grand plus in cash and prizes, so win or lose, I'm just gonna have a good time. I don't live anywhere near where I can use that Sea-Doo.

Definitely a winning attitude there. And the Sea Doo is also perfect for river or lake rides, so we can sort something out if or when you win it.
And we have a new challenger who could take the crown - Raymond Weaver.
Raymond, please tell us a little about yourself?

Excellent achievement there; sounds like it was worth the effort.
Now to the game, so $20 for each of you:
And a quick reminder Greg needs a win with at least $95 for the Sea Doo.

And the results.
1. Someone who deals with people or problems in a harsh way is said to be “WHAT-handed”?
(BUZZCODE: 40)
* Raymond buzzes in - 44 *
RAYMOND: Back
Sorry, we needed "heavy-handed". "Back-handed" means having a meaning that is expressed indirectly.
2. What two-word name describes a sandwich consisting of ground meat and gravy served on a hamburger bun?
(BUZZCODE: 99)
* Greg buzzes in - 63 *
GREG: Sloppy Joe
That's right; it's also an Australian term for what Americans would call a "pullover" or "sweater".
3. Beginning with P is which powdered substance that is mixed with a liquid to give colour to paints or inks?
(BUZZCODE - 59)
* Greg buzzes in - 36 *
GREG: Pigment
Right again.
4. Complete this proverb: “A stitch in time saves…”?
(BUZZCODE: 91)
* Raymond buzzes in - 62 *
RAYMOND: nine
Yes, you get your $5 back.
5. What given name was used by the American astronaut, Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon?
(BUZZCODE: 38)
* Raymond buzzes in - 51 *
RAYMOND: Neil
One small step for man, and one giant leap for Raymond.
6. What number is used as the name for the annual motor race held in Indianapolis?
(BUZZCODE: 66)
* Raymond buzzes in - 40 *
RAYMOND: 500
Correct again, and some very stiff competition between both players!
Just a quick reminder that the first player to $35 gets a crack at the first Gift Shop.
Now to the first of our Fame Games, this one for a chance at $10 or $15 easy money.
Please send me your buzzcode and the number of clues (1 to 5 clues).
