Good show today.
Kirk with a Clinic as to how to play Bonkers.
That Setup in Line em Up was difficult. Even Drew was shocked at the Car Price.

Don't you hate when players come up one draw short of winning the car in Card Game, like today? And the fact that the $1,000 range was selected didn't help matters either.

OTOH, that was a nice win in Grand Game, and the Bonkers win was awesome too.

That Bonkers playing is absolutely something to be studied and almost exactly the way I would play it.

1. Figure out if the first paddle should be Lower or Higher and don't touch it for the rest of the game.
2. Start with LLL for the last three paddles.
3. Try all 8 possible patterns in order with the least amount of moves (LLL -> HLL -> HHL -> HHH -> HLH -> LLH -> LHH -> LHL).

Kirk didn't repeat any of the patterns (amazing!) but he had to move 7 paddles to take 7 guesses while with my method you could move 7 paddles to make all 8 guesses.
