Doug: And welcome back to Net Definition. Fourth and final round of the game. Winner of this round wins the game. Let's go to the definition first.
                             |
Rich: When the Kentucky Derby is held.
Doug: When the Kentucky Derby is held. OK, little change of pace for this final round. Normally, the loser of the last round starts -- however, since Brian won the CY$750 round, he has a decision to make.
Brian, you may take control of this round first -- meaning you'd give away a letter to Todd. And of course if that letter you give away doesn't appear in the answer, you may then take a letter for yourself.
Or you may pass control to Todd -- meaning he'd give you a letter first -- and perhaps take one for himself.
So, decide who'll start us off -- you or Todd.
Brian: I'll let Todd go first.
Doug: All right, Todd, we commence with you. Give away a letter you don't want.
Todd: x
Doug: No H. Take a letter.
Todd: h
Doug: Just the one...
Doug: ...but if you solve this correctly, you're the champion. The definition again -- when the Kentucky Derby is held.
Todd: pass
Doug: OK, over to Brian.
Brian: I'll give Todd the 'Z'.
Doug: No Z. Take a letter.
Brian: I'll take the 'R'.
Doug: I think there's just the one.
Doug: Yes -- first letter of the last word. Remember, every guess is for the game. For you, it means a total of CY$2500 if you can tell me -- when the Kentucky Derby is held.
Brian: No guess.
Doug: All right. Todd, over to you. What letter will you give away this time?
Todd: q
Doug: Todd -- there *is* a Q.
Doug: Second letter of the fourth word. Brian, if you can give me the right answer, you win the game. If not, you still maintain control. With an H, Q and R exposed, tell me -- when the Kentucky Derby is held.
Brian: Don't know the answer yet.
Doug: Very well. Still your turn. Now you get to give a letter away to Todd.
Brian: I'll give Todd the 'Y'.
Doug: I have no idea who coined the phrase "turnabout is fair play" -- *but*...
(ding) (a few woos from the crowd)
Doug: ...that old adage has been proven correct again. Todd, I give you virtually the same explanation I gave Brian. Since he gave you the Y, you're entitled to a guess. If you answer correctly, you win the game. If you can't give me the correct solution, you may still, at the least, give a letter to Brian.
For now, let's see if you can win the game with those four letters and this definition -- when the Kentucky Derby is held.
Todd: pass
Doug: OK, it's still you turn since you were given the Y. What letter will you give away?
Todd: b
Doug: No B. Take a letter.
Todd: s
Doug: Two S's.
Doug: They're both in the last word. Another shot at the game. When the Kentucky Derby is held.
Todd: Pass.
Doug: All right. Back to Brian.
Brian: I'll give Todd the 'W'.
Doug: No W. Take a letter.
Brian: I'll take the 'E'.
Doug: Take *four* E's while your at it.
Doug: Last letter of the first word, first and last letter of the fourth word and next to last letter of the last word. For the game -- when the Kentucky Derby is held.
Brian: I'll pass.
Doug: OK. Todd, about half of the answer's in sight. You're up to bat again.
(time passes) (buzz buzz)
Doug: No decision in time. Brian, this means the board will randomly give you a letter guaranteed to appear at least once in the answer. You'll then have a chance to solve. What letter is the board giving you this time?
Doug: Board gave you a D -- two of them, in fact. If you miss here, you're still entitled to at least give away a letter to Todd. But let's see if you can win the game now. When the Kentucky Derby is held.
Brian: No guess.
Doug: Very well -- but as promised you keep control.
Brian: I'll give Todd, the 'V'.
Doug: No V.
Brian: I'll take the 'O'.
Doug: Two O's -- the first is the first letter of the third word; the other completes the last word. Another chance to win a total of CY$2500 and the game. When the Kentucky Derby is held.
Brian: The Day of Equine and Roses?
Doug: He takes a guess at it...
CY$1250 ROUND CONTINUES
