Game 5 of Net Definition's about to start. As you'll recall, we retired an undefeated champion -- so this qualifying round seeks two players. Those two closest to the right answer to this qualifying question, high or low, get to play.
If you participated in Game 2, 3 or 4, please sit on your hands and let someone else in on the fun.
The question...
On February 22, 2008, at 5:30pm, we recorded a "Cash Cab" rerun on The Discovery Channel. In total, how much money was given away in this half-hour episode?
Note: Per this particular episode's rules, the first four questions were worth $25 each, the next four $50 each and every question was worth $100 thereafter. Any red light challenge was (and is still) worth $250. So please respond to the nearest multiple of $25.
(time passes)
And that's time. I can tell you the first and third games of the half hour ended in strikeouts. So, Game 2 was worth...
                  |
...$900. Who's the closest to 900?
Steve Michaels $1025
He hasn't been with us since the pilot episode. Steve, you'll play against...
Michael Clifford $525
...the president of the Jill Manas fan club. It's Michaels vs. Michael -- next!
======================================================================Rich Jeffries: "Celebrity Mole: Fresno" (audience laughs) will not be seen tonight. Instead, we bring you a show that's really *raisin* the roof. ======================================================================

Rich: From CDM Enterprises, Net Definition. How Mr. Fix-It repaired the ladder.

Rich: Solution...

Rich: ...and our solution to fun with the pun on VBS is Net Definition. Now, here to step up to the Net Definition challenge is our host -- Doug Morris!
Doug: I thank you, Rich. Hellooooooooo, everybody and welcome to Net Definition. Last time we were together, we said goodbye to Andy Silikovitz -- who won three straight games, a new car and CY$146,000. (audience cheers) And our two contestants are looking to start roads to riches of their own. Rich, who's here?
Rich: And here to begin a quest toward the big payoffs are Steve Michaels and Michael Clifford.
Doug: Welcome Steve and Michael. Let's tell ya how we roll here.
We play up to four rounds in this game. The first is worth CY$250, the next CY$500, the third CY$750 and the fourth round is worth CY$1250. The first player to score CY$1500 wins the game and the right to play the A to Z Round for up to CY$50,000. (audience cheers) Should you sweep the first three rounds, you'll play a double-header in A to Z -- meaning you could win up to CY$100,000.
Doug: Steve, you won the right to go first -- so you'll get first crack at this definition.
ADVANCE TO CY$250 ROUND
