Welcome to Game 4 of Net Definition. Andy Silikovitz is our current champion with two wins and CY$37,000 to his credit. If he wins this game, he'll receive a virtual new car, CY$100,000 and a berth in the Net Definition Mega Playoff for CY$1,000,000.
So, let's find a challenger for Andy. The closest to the following question, high or low, gets to play against Andy. Remember, if you've played in any of our first three episodes, please sit on your hands and let someone else win.
And away we go...
On September 1, 2007, at 12:30pm Central, we watched a rerun from the first season of "Get the Picture" on Nick Gas, since rechristened as The N. The yellow team won the episode's main game with a score of how many dollars? Please respond to the nearest multiple of $5.

What? We already have a correct answer turned in? OK, let's see the answer first.

And who locked in with 425?
Will Schmarder $425
All right. It's Will challenging Andy. Will, we'll see if you're Schmarder than the average bear. (Remember, it's a game of puns!)
======================================================================Rich Jeffries: "Project: Shumway" (audience laughs) will not be seen at this time. In its place, we present a game that hopefully won't turn CAT-astrophic. ======================================================================
(drum rolls)
Rich: This is our current champion, Andy Silikovitz -- a Torah reader from New Jersey. So far, he has won two games of Net Definition and CY$37,000 to show for his efforts.
Rich: If he wins tonight's game, he'll win a new car plus CY$100,000 and a berth in the Mega Playoff for CY$1,000,000.

Rich: From CDM Enterprises, Net Definition. Owned by Mr. Katzenberg.

Rich: Solution...

Rich: ...and our solution to fun with the pun on VBS is Net Definition. Now here's the man who has a few dreams in the works -- (more laughs; applause) -- Doug Morris!
Doug: Thank you, Rich. Helloooooooo, everybody and welcome to Net Definition. This version of the show is still relatively young -- and we have a chance of seeing a champion retire undefeated. Of course, his challenger has something to say about that. Rich, who's here to play?

Rich: Our returning champion is Andy Silikovitz -- and here to challenge him is Will Schmarder.
Doug: All right, thanks, Rich. Will, Andy, good luck in the game. Here's how we play. You'll take turns picking letters. The first letter you select you'll give away to your opponent; if the letter you give away appears in the solution, the opposition gets a free guess -- otherwise, you maintain control and take a letter for yourself.
When a letter goes on the board, either you or your opponent is entitled to a guess. A correct solution is worth cyber-money.

Doug: The first round of the game is worth CY$250. The next is worth CY$500. The third CY$750 and if we need to go all the way, we'll play a fourth round for CY$1250. A game is CY$1500 -- and the first player to reach that goal wins the game and moves on to the A To Z Round for a possible CY$50,000.
Doug: As Andy knows, the first three rounds are worth a combined CY$1500. Any player who sweeps the first three rounds gets to play a doubleheader in A To Z -- for a potential CY$100,000.
Doug: Will, you're the challenger. You'll get first crack at this first definition.
ADVANCE TO CY$250 ROUND
