When it was in the rotation, Hit Me. It took me YEARS Not so much finding the products with the Ace and the 10, but understanding the multiplication aspect of the other products. I used to watch the show with co-workers at lunch, and that was the only game in the rotation everyone had a problem understanding no matter how many time I explained it to them.
Poker Game was another because Bob was always telling contestants to find a price that had a lot of nines...which made no sense to me when I was young in the late 70s/early 80s when 9s were rarely a factor in that game! That, and a product that cost $555 might be much more useful than one that is $995.
Goodness gracious, Hit Me. That's one of Bob's worst game explanations--as a kid it took me FOREVER to figure that game out.
Bob's explanation always went like this:
Bob: "Now, (contestant), Have you ever played blackjack before?"
Contestant: "Yes!"
Bob: "OK, cut these cards...here's the house card. The house hits at 16 and stays on 17..."
Then the game would continue and I'd have NO IDEA what was going on.
Hey Bob, what if some of us at home
haven't played blackjack before? What in the world is the goal here? What's a "hole" card--why are some cards facedown and some faceup? Why is Bob calling that card a "ten" when it's clearly a king? Why is the ace being treated as 11 when it was attached to the product that was the right price? Who decided the house stands at 17, why would the house stop drawing when they know I'm beating them? Shouldn't they get another draw to try to beat you without going over like in the Big Wheel?
And that's
before getting into the multiplication aspect...
