Let's Make a Deal (Episode 10)

[Radja]

okay, I'll take the 300.

[IceGuy]

And that was a good choice, because the yellow envelope would've contained a Zonk!

(applause)

For your next deal, you start with

$300

. I've filled an ATM with banknotes - 10x $5, 10x $10, 10x $20, 5x $50, 5x $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).

[Radja]

Let's start with 10

[IceGuy]

The ATM gives out bills...












That's

$220

- with your $300 starting money you're now up to

$520

!

Do you want to continue?

[Radja]

Give me 5 more. I want some of those 100's

[IceGuy]

That's an extra

$290

, bringing you up to

$810

!

Continue?

[Radja]

That'll do. Got a couple of those at least.

[IceGuy]

Congratulations! You're at

$810 in cash

!

(applause)

The next deal is a question. It will have one correct and three wrong answers and it will be about

Asian currencies

. If you get the answer correct, you get a

flight to Dubai worth $1600

. If you don't, you Zonk out.

Do you take the deal?

[Radja]

sure

[IceGuy]

Which of the following currencies is worth the least?

a) South Korean won
b) Vietnamese dong
c) Indonesian rupiah
d) Japanese yen

[Radja]

No clue. I was expecting something easier

C?

[IceGuy]

Are you sure? I'd offer you your choice of two envelopes (blue and green) if you back down. I can promise they each contain at least $1000.

[Radja]

I'll take that deal. Any of those 4 could be it for me.

[IceGuy]

You have to choose whether you want the blue or the green envelope.

[Radja]

Let's take blue then.

[IceGuy]

And the blue envelope contains exactly

$1000 in cash

! That was a good decision, by the way, since the least-valued currency is the Vietnamese dong.

(applause)

For your next deal, I've got twelve spheres numbered 1 to 12.
Five of them contain a Zonk.
Another four have

$1500 in cash

.
Two have a

high-end laptop worth $2000

.
And the last one is a

motorcycle worth $5000

.

Do you take the deal?

[Radja]

okay, still more than 1/2 which is fine

[Radja]

I'll pick 11

[IceGuy]

Are you sure? I'd offer you the green envelope you didn't take in the last deal instead.

[Radja]

Lucky 11 it is.

[IceGuy]

You take sphere 11, when suddenly...

ZONK!

(oooh)

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

Now for our next contestant,

Save The Dragons

!

[IceGuy]

Welcome,

Save The Dragons

! You've won a

$50 collection of sweets

just by showing up!

(applause)

For your first deal, I would offer you a

tetbla

. That's an anagram for what you're actually getting, of course. Do you take it?

[Radja]

/re-in

[Save The Dragons]

*tries not to eat the sweets*

I would like a

tablet

I would not like a battle

[IceGuy]

And so you get a

$150 tablet

!

(applause)

For your next deal, I have eight spheres, numbered 1 to 8.
One of them contains a Zonk.
Four of them have

$200 cash

.
Two contain

10 grams of platinum worth $300

.
And one contains (a voucher for)

Kobe beef worth $400

.

Do you take the deal?
