123³: All the bids are in, so now I can tell you the price of the speakers are...



htmlcc92, come up on stage with that smart bid.

{applause}
{walks to center stage}

Now we have a great prize for you and it is right behind those doors!!!

{door 3 opens}

Announcer: It's a new electric moped!!! {modeled by Manuela}



This moped from X-treme, can get to speeds of 60 mph, can travel 85 miles on a single charge and has a state-of-the-art  front and rear hydraulic disk braking system!!!

{loud applause}



123³: Now before you can drive, you are going to have to run. More specifically, you are going to have to run Bonkers.

Now the moped is not $6,375. For each digit, I want you to place a paddle showing whether you think the actual digit in that spot is higher or lower than the displayed number.



{ding}

Now you are going to get 30 seconds 5 tries to get the right combo. So good luck and get going.

(crazy think music starts}

(You are free to give me as many guesses as you'd like)

[htmlcc92]

Always wanted a moped! My guesses:

LHLH
LHLL

(just trying to go with the odds first, and I'll see what that gets me)

If neither one of those are it, I'd like to look back to my friends in the audience (even though this is a "timed" game and I shouldn't spend my time looking to the audience!).

[SuperSweeper]

Try --HH...don't a lot of vehicles end in -98 or -99?

[htmlcc92]

Try --HH...don't a lot of vehicles end in -98 or -99?

Yeah, I forgot that oftentimes they do. If neither of those work, I'll try something with --HH, maybe LHHH (123123123 - not an actual guess at this time, just thinking out loud).

123³: Don't give up, you still have plenty of chances.

{audience yells more advice}
{crazy music continues}

[htmlcc92]

I'll try LHHH then. After that, any more help from the audience would be very much appreciated!

(And I never realized the Bonkers cue was over 4 1/2 hours long! )

123³: That was beautifully played and you won because of that.

Let's see the actual price of the moped

{flips reveal switch}



You and the audience were both aware of the -99, congrats.

We will try for more winners after the break.

123³: Now let's get another contestant up here while we are hot off the first win. Mr. Announcer?

Announcer: How about SuperSweeper!?! Come on down, you are the next contestant on The Price is Right!!!

{applause}

123³: Ok, now that the row is filled, let's see the next item up for bids.

Announcer: Down in Contestant's Row is the beautiful Gwendolyn with a GPS radio!!! {modeled by Gwen, duh}



This Garmin Rino 655T GPS radio is pre-loaded with a worldwide basemap, has 2 compass functions and includes a 5-megapixel camera.

{applause}
