Deal or No Deal (it's goodbye from me...)

[bubbajack8]

Hey Hey Hey!

/re-in

[DiplomatDC]

Hey guys, I nearly completely forgot about this and didn't log in the whole day.

Let's go with Case 4+20=

24

[StrangerCoug]

OK. Six cases, please.

[bubbajack8]

*giggles 4+20*

[DiplomatDC]

I'm feeling uncreative today.
1,6,11,16,21,26

[StrangerCoug]

Case 1: $500,000
Case 6: $400,000
Case 11: $1,000,000
Case 16: $25
Case 21: $75
Case 26: $50

...You might want to break the snooze button on your alarm clock after that. [/lame joke]

$500,000	2	3	4	5
$400,000	7	8	9	10
$1,000,000	12	13	14	15
$25	17	18	19	20
$75	22	23	25	$50

6 to open	$1
$0.10	$5,000
$1	$7,500
$5	$10,000
$10	$25,000
$25	$50,000
$50	$75,000
$75	$100,000
$100	CAR
$250	$300,000
$500	$400,000
$750	$500,000
$1,000	$750,000
$2,500	$1,000,000

The $10,000 penalty would give you a negative offer, so the banker is giving you $1. That should get you a soda from the machine. Deal or No Deal?

[DiplomatDC]

Grrrrr.....

No Deal

7, 13, 17, 20, 22

[StrangerCoug]

Case 7: $750,000
Case 13: $0.10
Case 17: $500
Case 20: $5
Case 22: $5,000

$500,000	2	3	4	5
$400,000	$750,000	8	9	10
$1,000,000	12	$0.10	14	15
$25	17	18	19	20
$75	22	23	25	$50

4 to open	$10,295
$0.10	$5,000
$1	$7,500
$5	$10,000
$10	$25,000
$25	$50,000
$50	$75,000

$750	$500,000
$1,000	$750,000
$2,500	$1,000,000

$10,295. Deal or No Deal?

[DiplomatDC]

As much as I hate to be a wet blanket here:

Deal

Also, re-/in

[bubbajack8]

That was terrible luck.

[StrangerCoug]

Aw, no more?

Well, I'm curious. If you had to play to the bitter end, how would you have gone?

[DiplomatDC]

I'd play to the bitter end. Reject most of the offers till the end.
If you wanted to see how it would pan out:
2, 3, 4, 5, No Deal
9, 15, 19, No Deal
22, 25, No Deal
18, No Deal
12
Where would that bring me?

[RichardGHP]

You do know that processing even one caseload at a time is thankless drudgery, right?

[StrangerCoug]

Spoiler: What would have happened...

Case 2: $100
Case 3: $100,000
Case 4: $250
Case 5: $300,000
At this point, you would have rejected a deal of $10,139.

Case 9: $750
Case 15: $1
Case 19: $75,000
At this point, you would have rejected a deal of $14,801.

I forgot to mark case 22 as opened, so I'm replacing it with the next one you listed, case 18.
Case 25: $7,500
Case 18: $10,000
At this point, you would have rejected a deal of $23,209.

Case 12: $50,000
At this point, you would have rejected a deal of $27,421.

Spoiler: If you're sick of me going through this...

Case 24: CAR. Not a good deal at all.

That's most of the beans spilled, so AcRv, let me know when you're ready.

[AcRv]

Well, last time I was here I took Case 21.

And if at first you don't succeed, do the exact same thing again.

Because the laws of physics might've changed while you were away.

I wish to have Case 21

[StrangerCoug]

Six cases when ready.

[AcRv]

I'm feeling a vibe from the multiples of four.

open cases 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

[StrangerCoug]

Case 4: $750
Case 8: CAR
Case 12: $50
Case 16: $2,500
Case 20: $50,000
Case 24: $10

1	2	3	$750	5
6	7	CAR	9	10
11	$50	13	14	15
$2,500	17	18	19	$50,000
22	23	$10	25	26

5 to open	$15,872
$0.10	$5,000
$1	$7,500
$5	$10,000
$10	$25,000
$25	$50,000
$50	$75,000
$75	$100,000
$100	CAR
$250	$300,000
$500	$400,000
$750	$500,000
$1,000	$750,000
$2,500	$1,000,000

$15,873

Very close, but not quite—forgot to mark off the $50. $15,872 is your first offer. Deal or No Deal?

[AcRv]

No deal

Seeing as it's five cases, it makes sense to take the multiples of five. But there's only four of them because I just opened 20.

18 is almost like a multiple of five.

Open cases 5, 10, 15, 18, 25

[StrangerCoug]

Case 5: $25
Case 10: $5,000
Case 15: $75,000
Case 18: $0.10
Case 25: $7,500

1	2	3	$750	$25
6	7	CAR	9	$5,000
11	$50	13	14	$75,000
$2,500	17	$0.10	19	$50,000
22	23	$10	25	$7,500

4 to open	$51,159
$0.10	$5,000
$1	$7,500
$5	$10,000
$10	$25,000
$25	$50,000
$50	$75,000
$75	$100,000
$100	CAR
$250	$300,000
$500	$400,000
$750	$500,000
$1,000	$750,000
$2,500	$1,000,000

A huge jump even without the bonus to $51,159. Deal or No Deal?

[AcRv]

There's still a fair bit of money on the board, so

No deal

Let's go with

1, 3, 9, 22

I'm sure there's something linking them all somehow.

[StrangerCoug]

Case 1: $1,000
Case 3: $500
Case 9: $10,000
Case 22: $100,000

$1,000	2	$500	$750	$25
6	7	CAR	$10,000	$5,000
11	$50	13	14	$75,000
$2,500	17	$0.10	19	$50,000
$100,000	23	$10	25	$7,500

3 to open	$91,148
$0.10	$5,000
$1	$7,500
$5	$10,000
$10	$25,000
$25	$50,000
$50	$75,000
$75	$100,000
$100	CAR
$250	$300,000
$500	$400,000
$750	$500,000
$1,000	$750,000
$2,500	$1,000,000

$91,148 and you still have the top five amounts. Deal or No Deal?

[AcRv]

Oh wow, that is quite an impressive jump.

But, as you said, I still have the top five amounts.

No deal

Let's go with all the even numbers:

Cases 2, 6, and 14

[StrangerCoug]

Case 2: $25,000
Case 6: $400,000
Case 14: $750

$1,000	$25,000	$500	$750	$25
$400,000	7	CAR	$10,000	$5,000
11	$50	13	$250	$75,000
$2,500	17	$0.10	19	$50,000
$100,000	23	$10	25	$7,500

2 to open	$137,509
$0.10	$5,000
$1	$7,500
$5	$10,000
$10	$25,000
$25	$50,000
$50	$75,000
$75	$100,000
$100	CAR
$250	$300,000
$500	$400,000
$750	$500,000
$1,000	$750,000
$2,500	$1,000,000

A much more modest increase to $96,788

$106,788 (forgot the bonus)

$137,509. If you turn down this deal, RichardGHP will mod the rest of your game. Deal or No Deal?

[AcRv]

That table doesn't have the cases I opened in the round before... I'm guessing that will change the bank offer?
