For lack of a better term up there; what are people's opinions on some of the little "gimmies" that Roger (and may still) use? Examples of these "rules", I'm told are:
Personally, I think they cause the show to become rather stale. When I host the game online, I tend to stray away from such rules. Are they a reasonable expectation to use for one; and two, do they make for good TV? |

I should clarify that the original statement was "Car prices end in 0 or 5 unless paint and fabric protectant [sic] is included." Still, I want to say that I've seen cars end in other numbers without these features, even with Roger at the helm.

QUOTE (Modor @ Jul 1 2009, 01:13 AM) No repeating digits in cars Numbers repeat all the time. Even in playings of Any Number, the car price had a repeating digit 14 out of 29 times this past season. I only know this because I counted the playings from this site. |

Just found out how to add a title. Group: Members Posts: 397 Joined: 1-August 07 Member No.: 4561 |
Temptation is pretty much the only game where numbers can't repeat in the price of the car.
Also, always put the 0 last in Ten Chances. |
