FULL RECAP - TPiR 06/03/2009

[Briguy]

We need to discuss how TPIR rounds prices.  $1000.49 rounds to $1000.  $1000.51 rounds to $1001.  What does $1000.50 round to?  We need to determine that.  The IRS I believe rounds 1000.50 to 1001.  Does TPIR?

TPiR SHOULD round anything starting at 50 cents to the next nearest dollar. I learned in math class (back about second or third grade or so) that anything 5 or higher rounds to the nearest 10, 50 to the nearest hundred, and so on. It's simple mathematics, case closed.

I would've lost Hi-Lo today on account of those corn holders; it's the first time that anyone has seen corn holders on the show, but I would agree that we will see them again in the future.

Really?  Just how much did you think those corn holders were?  I've been in many a grocery store, and the usual price on corn holders is something like 99 cents a pair. 

$5.99 corn holders = bigger mind-screw than the ol' $5.99 squeegee. 

These things are gonna cause a lot of losses from people under-estimating them.

Freeze Frame: Good try by Glenda.
Any Number: Nice car win by Adam!
Hi Lo: Great win by Eric! But I had no idea corn holders would be so expensive.
Double Prices: Good effort by Wendy.
Punch A Bunch: $5,000 is certainly better than nothing. Nice going, Courtney.

Any Number:  Nice win, and nice hearing Cue 19 and the truck/van cue again! \
Hi Lo:  They must be good corn holders for $6!
Punch A Bunch:  Not a bad haul at all!
Cover Up:  Good job!
Showcases:  So close, and yet, so far away from another , but great bid by Eric nonetheless!

Pretty good show overall, IMHO.

Freeze: I went with $6495 and nailed it. Glenda was just naive.

Any #: Geez, Those Ford Rangers have broke $20K!!!  Talk about a major shot-up!!!! Great win, though.

Hi Lo: Double geez, $6.00 for freakin' Corn Holders??!!  What's next? Eight-dollar dough rollers??!!  I wasn't fooled at all by the setup. Good win.

Double: Meh.

Punch: $5K win makes up just fine after just two holes.

Cover: Very nice.

Showcases: Almost awesome ending with that near- !!!

A 3.25-star show.
