Doug: Steve Michaels is our new champion on Net Definition. He has CY$2500 to the good -- and now could win CY$50,000 more. Steve, here's how the A to Z Round works.
In a moment, Rich will give you the bonus definition -- and then I'll give you letters one at a time in alphabetical order from A to Z. The moment I give you a letter that appears at least once in the answer, I'll stop and offer a chance for you to guess. A correct answer pays CY$1000 for each letter left unrevealed; if you miss or take up too much time, we'll advance further into the alphabet and play on from there.
Now, here's where the big payoff comes into play. Before I even give you the A, I'll give you a chance to solve with no letters filled in. A correct answer on that opening chance gives you CY$50,000.
Doug: So, good luck. We're all rooting for you. Here's Rich with the bonus definition.

Rich: What Phil does at the beginning of his shift.
Doug: What Phil does at the beginning of his shift. A couple of things before you attempt the CY$50,000 guess, Steve. This definition is a follow-up to the definition in the last round -- where the solution was "the bar exam". Further, in *this* solution, there is one component that is not a letter of the alphabet. Let's reveal that non-letter character in the answer -- right now.

Doug: An apostrophe's the last character in the second word. Now, that's all the help we can offer for now. One time only for CY$50,000, Steve. Here's the definition one more time: What Phil does at the beginning of his shift.
Steve: As much as I'd love that 50-grand, I'm going to need some letters.
Doug: Letters you need? Here they come. A.
|
|
Doug: Woah! One A in the answer. Middle letter of the first word. Decent coin up there. CY$18,000 if you can tell me -- what Phil does at the beginning of his shift.
Steve: Let's continue.
Doug: Hang on, Steve. More help is on its ways. B. (pause) C. (pause) D. (pause) E.

Doug: Three E's. Steve, you now have a letter in each word. For CY$15,000, what Phil does at the beginning of his shift.
Steve: I have ideas, but nothing's really working. I have to continue.
Doug: OK. We're coming up on more consonants. Let's see if F helps. (pause) G. (pause) H.

Doug: There's an H; middle letter of the third word. We're playing for CY$14,000. What Phil does at the beginning of his shift.
A TO Z ROUND CONTINUES
