Let's Make a Deal (Episode 10)

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Let's go with 4.

[IceGuy]

(opens the sphere)

The sphere is empty. You don't win anything, but also don't Zonk out. It's still

$750 cash

for you.

For your next deal, I'm offering you a card game.

(Sorry, need to leave now. Will put it up soon.)

[IceGuy]

False alarm. So, here are the cards.



Tell me whether the next card will be higher or lower. If you guess correctly, you get an extra

$500 in cash

. If you don't, you Zonk out. (Two consecutive cards will never have the same value.)

You can stop at any card after the first. If you don't even take the first card, you exit the game; but if you stop later, you'll be offered more deals.

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Woah.

Lower?

[IceGuy]

Let's rotate that card...



I'm afraid that's a ...

ZONK!

(oooh)

Unfortunately, that leaves you with nothing. You may re-/in for the next episode.

Now for our next contestant,

Cheery Dog

!

[IceGuy]

Welcome,

Cheery Dog

! You've won

$100 in cash

by showing up!

(applause)

I'm offering you your first deal: Do you want to exchange your $100 for an envelope? I can promise it doesn't contain a Zonk.

[Cheery Dog]

Yes please.

[IceGuy]

Congratulations! The envelope contains

$200 in cash

!

(applause)

For your next deal, I'm going to offer you a question. The question is about

gold

. If you get it right, you win

half an ounce of gold worth $550

. If you get it wrong, you'll Zonk out. It will be a four-answer choice question.

Do you take the deal?

[Cheery Dog]

Take on the deal.

[IceGuy]

Your question is:

What is the chemical element symbol for gold?
a) Au
b) G
c) Pt
d) Gd

[Cheery Dog]

a) Au

[Save The Dragons]

/in

[IceGuy]

Are you sure of your answer? I'd offer you an envelope if you back down. I can promise the envelope does not contain nothing or a Zonk.

[Cheery Dog]

I'll take the answer.

[IceGuy]

And it's correct! You've won

half an ounce of gold worth $550

!

(applause)

Okay, for the next deal, I've got an ATM. You'll start at

$550

and I've filled it with banknotes: 10x $20, 10x $50, 10x $100 and 1x Zonk. You can take as many banknotes as you want - but if you hit the Zonk, you're out.

If you take the deal, please specify how many banknotes you want at first; at any point, you can request more banknotes or stop (you'll be offered another deal if you take at least one banknote).

[Tatsuya Kaname]

re-/in!

[Cheery Dog]

Let's go with 5 banknotes to start.

[IceGuy]

The ATM pauses for a moment and ejects five bills:







(applause)

With your starting money of $550, you're now at

$950

!

Do you want to continue to get bills or do you want the next deal?

[Cheery Dog]

I'll take another 5 bills please.

[Ciara24]

/in!

[IceGuy]

Well, that's not as high as before, but at least you didn't hit a Zonk! You now have

$1080

.

Do you want to continue?

[MarioManiac4]

/in!

[Cheery Dog]

One last withdrawal. 1 more bill and the next deal if possible

[IceGuy]

The ATM stutters a bit and gives out a final bill...



Congratulations! You've won

$1130 in cash

!

(applause)

The next game is a very simple one you probably know from your childhood: rock-paper-scissors.

You lose, you Zonk out.
You win, you get a new

high-end gaming PC worth $3000

.
If there's a draw, we play again.

Do you take the deal?

[Cheery Dog]

I'll take the cash.
