That gives you seventy-one hundred. Spin again or solve?

[racefan12]

Well either I'm going to have to take a blind letter guess at some point or just potentially make myself look like an idiot by risking an incorrect solve, because I don't recognize any lyric that fits, but I can only think of one thing that would make any sense. And spinning the wheel is more risky. (If I'd have remembered I had that Surprise, I wouldn't have spun that last time).

LET'S DO THE TIME BACK AGAIN

[StrangerCoug]

That is incorrect. I'm sorry.

I am aware of a Skype chat in which racefan12 was told the source of the song the lyric comes from and to which ForWhomTheJellyRolls has access. I am stopping doctorwho's prod timer as of this post and investigating the level of damage done to the integrity of the round as a result. If racefan12 knows the lyric as a result of being told where it came from, I will have no choice but to throw out the puzzle and replace it. If I make the decision to continue the round, I will make public where the song comes from before accepting any more actions.

To everyone:

PLEASE

do not give players any hints to ongoing puzzles or discuss them outside of this thread. Thank you for your cooperation.

Edited to add:

I thought it important to mention that this happened

AFTER

racefan12 solved the puzzle incorrectly; I would have thrown the puzzle out outright if racefan12 had attempted a solve based on this information (and likely considered auto-lossing him or kicking him out).

[StrangerCoug]

I will go ahead and continue the round. So doctorwho has the same information as his opponents, the song that the lyric is from is from Rocky Horror Picture Show. His prod timer restarts now.

....and I knew I should have just solved it.

[StrangerCoug]

...Ya think? (At least you didn't lose anything...)


ForWhomTheJellyRolls?

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

I will solve.

LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN

[StrangerCoug]

That is correct


I would not expect a puzzle earlier than tomorrow. I have overdue homework right now.

[StrangerCoug]

Kari has been sitebanned and therefore deleted from the player queue. I will make sure the puzzle gets up by tomorrow night.

The category for Round 3 is

THE 1950S

.

It's our Express Round, so we have a boarding station for that train on the wheel, but there's also another space on the wheel where you could score a

SONY 65" Z9D 4K HDR TV W/ANDROID TV

worth $5,499! That'd be nice to watch things on


racefan12, I don't believe you've started a round yet.

I wish you had landed on a higher dollar amount so you could get more out of that, but as it stands, $3,500 is not a bad amount to be getting in one spin. Spin, buy, or solve?

I'm afraid you're in for a bit of an unpleasant surprise, racefan12—there are none.
