Double Cross seemed like an easy win, $2530 was the only even-numbered price available for the washer/dryer, and if you knew the rule about pairs of items, it was a gimme. A very close call on Range Game, I thought for sure he had stopped too low. But ending the day with a PAINFUL near-WSD almost ruined it.
I have seen pairs of items end in an odd number. Say, for example, if both items separately costed $1,400.50 the total would be $2,801. I don't think there's ever been a "pair of items" rule.
Another evil Temptation didn't help matters either.
I recall Bob Barker saying in the early days of TPIR, in the IUFB that "the prices are rounded off to the nearest dollar, so give me your bids in dollars please." Whether or not they still do, I do not know.I recall the Dob saying in one of the Q&A's that for prize packages they add all of the prizes' prices in dollars and cents, and then round the total to the nearest dollar. Hence, a pair of identical prizes doesn't have to end in an even number — although in practice they generally do as prices generally tend to end in .99 or .00 more often.
Remember the old days when the first number of the car in Temptation was a gimme? Man, those were good times.
I'm fine with this setup because the last number was the gimme. How many times have we seen the final prize be worth $500?
Having both difficult is tough.
