NZ Wheel of Fortune (Framm 18 vs. DOMO vs. xtopherusD)

[RichardGHP]

Don't congratulate yet, he may be wrong!

Oh, who am I kidding. Of course he's right! We have a new champion!


Well, pieceofpecanpie, you've managed to come up from behind with a late win, and a convincing one too, at $9,650. I'll see you at the Bonus Round in a few minutes.

TheIrishPope, you've now amassed a grand total of $37,400, $5,800 of which comes from this game. While this wasn't enough to defend your championship, it

WILL

suffice to get you a new spot on the leaderboard!

Framm 18, your existing spot on the leaderboard will be a tad safer with an extra $4,300 to add to your already impressive total of $71,800. Total winnings to date: $76,100!

[RichardGHP]

It's time for the Bonus Round!

pieceofpecanpie, you could win up to $50,000 in cash from this wheel, and we also have a

NISSAN QASHQAI

just begging to be won, yet oddly, it's never been done in all these episodes. If the law of averages hasn't caught up to it after a while, we may have to look at getting more prize wedges...

Anyway, give the wheel a spin. 1d72, as usual.

[pieceofpecanpie]

Time to win me a new set of wheels with the power of the wheel...

[RichardGHP]

Oh, my!

The power of willpower, eh?

Well, all you have to do to win that fine piece of machinery, worth $37,700, is solve this puzzle. I hope you remember your geography, because this puzzle you'll find

ON THE MAP

. We'll put up R, S, T, L, N, and E to get you started.

Now we need three consonants and a vowel from you, if you'd be so kind.

[pieceofpecanpie]

Stop hacking pls

Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I don't know what's going on. I'll try to turn them off. As not only do I spin the car, but I'm pretty certain on this answer.

B, Q, Z

&

O

please.

[RichardGHP]

Very cocky, too, if you're deliberately choosing letters which don't appear at all in the puzzle. In my experience (and I have a lot of it), it helps to go for at least some common letters even if you're sure, just in case. To each his own, though.

For the car, it's

ON THE MAP

. You have (expired on 2013-12-16 03:55:25) and as many guesses as I can judge within that time to solve. Best of luck.

Yes, I know the Q doesn't fit in the image. No, I can't be bothered fixing it right now.

[pieceofpecanpie]

My poor attempt at injecting suspense...

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA

[RichardGHP]

*tosses pieceofpecanpie the keys to the Qashqai*


I'll put up the next game tomorrow.

[pieceofpecanpie]

After I saw the "S" making it end in "I" and "A" sprung out at me, and my sister just came back from a fortnight in Malaysia.

I'm fond of word games and puzzles, but this run has got me pretty shocked. I feel somewhat guilty at the luck I've had at piecing a string of puzzles together. My wish is for that luck to be shared among the next contestants.

[RichardGHP]

I make that midnight, so let's roll.

Great group this evening. Everyone here has won the game at least once, so I am anticipating some close competition. StrangerCoug is back for visit number 5, by my count, after retiring undefeated last time he was here. He is also our highest scorer to date, with $127,500 in total winnings. pieceofpecanpie is our defending champion who quickly and boldly made a name for himself last match and showed he could thrive in the big leagues. He reminds me of me xtopherusD, our favourite Australian, is here for a fourth visit, racking up a total of $33,100 to date.

We start as always with a tossup for $1,000. The category is

SONG AND ARTIST

.

(expired on 2013-12-16 06:59:58) to solve or pass.

[xtopherusD]

I wish I could say that that Í gives it away for me. I have to

pass

.

[StrangerCoug]

I am going to have to

pass

.

[pieceofpecanpie]

I get what part of the artist name should be, but I'm at a loss.

Pass.

[RichardGHP]

(expired on 2013-12-16 17:19:25) to solve or pass.

[StrangerCoug]

Pass

. Don't know the second word.

[xtopherusD]

I'm glad I did have that first word right. But I'll

pass

also.

[pieceofpecanpie]

Ohhhh, one-hit wonders from yesteryear. The artist is a stab in the dark, but I have no idea what else would fit.

"MACARENA" - LOS DEL RIO

[StrangerCoug]

*slaps self in head*

Thought we were looking for a first and last name...

[RichardGHP]

Another solve for the champion!


Give me a moment and we'll get Round 1 underway.

[RichardGHP]

In our Question Puzzle round, we are asking you to

FILL IN THE BLANK

. Solve the puzzle as is and tell me what common word precedes all three terms and we'll throw an extra $500 your way.

Bad luck Coug.

Now with the puzzle revealed, I can say that #2787 amusingly read "I figure the artist is [something] del rio, but I'm at a

loss

" . Who remembers the creators of one-hit wonders anyway?
