buck

Pass the Buck is a fun game played behind the TPiR block. The block is lifted and immediately a car and the game board are revealed. The game board has 8 boxes, numbered 1 through 8. The contestant can choose up to three numbers by guessing which one of a pair of grocery items is $1.00 less than it should be, as "passing the buck" to that product. If correct, the contestant gets a pick at the board. This goes on two more times, for a possible total of 3 picks. Then, the contestant picks a number on the board. One of the numbers conceals $1000, one of the numbers has $2000, one of the numbers has $3000, one of the numbers has $5000, one of them has a picture of a car, and the other three? Those say LOSE EVERYTHING! If a lose everything is picked, then the contestant does indeed lose everything won up to that point, though can still pick more numbers if s/he has any chances left. The contestant can always choose to continue, no matter what has been won, if s/he has picks left, though always risks losing everything by going on.

Well, for the grocery item part of the game, the product that is marked for less than $1.00 is usually correct, when given as a choice. Otherwise, just figure which price is more likely true when a dollar is added to it. For the number selecting part of the game, it's all luck. Just pick a number and hope you get lucky. As for when you should quit/go on, just decide what you're risking, and what you could earn if your gamble pays off, and ask yourself if it's worth it.
