Futuregsh PIR#06005- Conclusion

[ucb2912]

Future, Nice to see you again, again to see you... (Audience) NICE!

Greetings aside, I'll bid $550.

[sternal]

$800! Welcome!

[goldroadfanatic]

My losing streak is over!  

[Futuregsh]

Thank you ucb2912 and Brian Sternal [color=009900](DING) (DING)[/color].  Garvin8r, what's your bid?

[Futuregsh]

Garvin8r, you have about 1 hour to bid.  Then we move on to Frank15...

[Futuregsh]

Regretably, I must buzz Garvin8r.  First strike sir.  Frank 15, you conclude the bidding.  Of course, if Garvin8r gets in before Frank 15, I will take the bid...

[Mallory16]

I can't imagine the watches being less than $800, so I will bid $801.  I'm not apologizing for it either.  Sound strategy on my part, and I've got no reason to be sorry for it.

[Futuregsh]

And the bids are in:

[color=003300]ucb2912 $550[/color]
[color=6600FF]Brian Sternal $800[/color]
[color=CC9900]Garvin8r FOUL #1[/color]
[color=006699]Frank15 $801[/color]

Did Frank's sound strategy work?

















Let's find out...


















The actual retail price of the watches is...



















THIRTEEN SEVENTY-FIVE ($1,375)!  (Mulitple Bells, COU Music)  Frank15, it did work!  Come up here on this stage and let's play Pricing Game #2...

(Futuregsh and Frank15 arrive at the Giant Price Tag)

Welcome to the stage Frank15.  You were correct on those watches and were rewarded and if you are correct on the next prize THIS is the reward...






A NEW VAN!!!

It's the Saturn Relay 2 Minivan!  Great for the family with it's seven passenger seating and plenty of room for all your family gear and storage.  This van comes equipped with a standard 3.5 liter V-6 engine PLUS

Captain's Chair Package, Rear Air Conditioning Controls, Safety Package, Preferred Package,[/i]

Power Sliding Passenger Door, Stabilitrak Safety System, Touring Package, Locking Gas Cap, and California Emissions.  It's the Saturn Relay 2!!!

[color=CC0000]ONE AWAY[/color]
$37633
XXXXXX[/size]

And Frank15, that Van will be in your driveaway if you win ONE AWAY.  Now, I will tell you that the Saturn Relay is NOT Thirty-Seven Thousand, Six Hundred Thirty-Three Dollars.  But each number is One Away from the right number.  Which means that the 3 is either a 4 or a 2, the 7 is either an 8 or a 6, and so on down the line.  Tell me the right price and you win the van.

[Garvin8r]

Darn work schedule -- got so tired I didn't even have a chance to see this or say I wasn't gonna have a chance to bid.

[Mallory16]

Yay, One Away, one of my favorites!  Think this is only the second game that I've gotten twice on these forums, the first being All for One.  Which is odd, since as far as I know, that game's only been played twice, period.

I'd wait to see Jade's advice, since he's good with the car games, but I have this feeling he ain't gonna' help me out here.

Anyway, this situation seems oddly familiar.  Except this time I'm the contestant.  But I'm rambling too much, aren't I?  I mean, I know you want to get on with the show, and if I don't shut up, you might not have time for all six games.

...and I'm rambling again, so I'll shut up now.  I'll try $28,522, please.

[Futuregsh]

Garvin8r, it happens to all of us.  We'll see you at IUFB #3.

But now, to the game at hand...


[color=CC0000]ONE AWAY[/color]
$[color=FF0000]2[/color][color=0000FF]8[/color][color=FF0000]522[/color]
XXXXXX[/size]

Frank15 has given us a price of TWENTY-EIGHT THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO DOLLARS.  Now, if that is the right price, THAT



will be your new van.  BUT, if you have even ONE number right, the game will continue.  So ask them, "Ladies, do I have at least one number right?"


Ladies, do i have at least one number right?


















[color=009900](HONK)[/color]

YES YOU DO!!!  The game continues.  Now, Frank15, ask them "Ladies, do I have two numbers right?"



Ladies, do I have two numbers right?

















[color=009900](HONK)[/color]

YES!!!  That's terrific.  Now ask them "Ladies, do I have THREE numbers right?"


Ladies, do I have three numbers right?


























(SILENCE)

Nope, you have TWO numbers right Frank15, which means that you need to change THREE of them.  What do you want the final price of the car to be?

[Mallory16]

Grr, this is hard.  I may like the game, but I don't seem to be too good at it.  I could easily be wrong about that 8, so let's change that to a 6.  And let's change the last two twos to two fours.  So $26,544... that doesn't really look too good, but I'm sticking with that, and hoping for the best here!

There's probably some moral I'm supposed to learn, about making games on my show too difficult.  Maybe some day I'll even learn it.

Frank15 has, grudgingly, decided on TWENTY-SIX THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED FORTY-FOUR DOLLARS for the price of the van.  Let's hope for the best.


What is the first number?



















[color=CC0000]ONE AWAY[/color]
$[color=FF0000]265[/color][color=0000FF]44[/color]
$[color=FF0000]2[/color]XXXX[/size]
[color=009900](DING)[/color]
The 2 is right.  I don't think that's a big surprise though.



Now, you changed that 8 to a 6.  Did he do a good thing?

THAT was a good change sir!



Now, if the next number is a 5, then we KNOW that you have won the Van.


















Show us the third number...

YOU HAVE WON FRANK15!!!



That Van is YOURS!!!  Congratulations!!!  I'll see you at the Big Wheel...

Well, two games, two winners.  We're gonna try for a 3rd one right after this time out...

[Mallory16]

Have I mentioned before that I love hard games ?  Honestly I was worried there--at least as much as one can get for an online forum game without actual physical prizes being won.

[Futuregsh]

Alright Johnny, we are 2 for 2 and I have decided you can only call winners.  Anything else will mean trouble.

Thanks Futuregsh

With that in mind, call me another name please...

With that in mind, I will call wpghi5, COME ON DOWN!!! (COD Music)  YOU are the next contestant on The Price is Right!!!
