-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the help of the audience, with the help of some of the mathmaticians out in the audience, Bob made a remark that was not totally correct- Frances had 5 dollars so the only way she could have lost that car was for that 0 to be behind that door- A 5 she could have paid off and still have the 1 dollar. He mentions this because children watch and they didn't want them to believe that 5 and 4 are anything but 9.
