Round 1







(FF reveal sfx)

Scarlett: James Tiberius Kirk had this.

Doug: James Tiberius Kirk had this. Andy, we start with you by giving a letter to Robert -- one you do not want.

Andy: Give the Z for zero.

Doug: And there are zero Zs. That means you may take a letter -- one you think you can use.

Andy: Take the A for Andy.

Doug: And there are three As.






(ding)

Doug: One in the first word; two in the second. Whenever you take a letter that appears at least once in the solution, you're entitled to a guess. For CY$250 and the first round, James Tiberius Kirk had this.

Andy: I will pass -- and throw an interception to Robert.

(buzz buzz)

Doug: OK, Robert, let's see if you can turn it into a pick-250.

Robert: Wow, am I lucky. I thought for sure Andy would get it given his superior word puzzle aptitude. Give the J.

Doug: Well -- you might get to see how good his aptitude is...






(ding)

Doug: ...because J is the first letter in the last word. Andy, second consecutive try to win the first round on this free guess. James Tiberius Kirk had this.

Andy: An admiral job.

Doug: That's what he had. You're right.






(dings; audience applause)

Doug: Captain Kirk was promoted to admiral when the "Star Trek" movies began. And if I recall correctly, he was demoted to captain in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home". He was demoted after a court-martial -- so that's why he *had* that admiral job.

 

 

 

ROBERT
ANDY
 
 

Doug: Andy did an admirable job on winning CY$250. Robert, chance to double up and catch up in the next round -- when we play for CY$500 here on Net Definition.

("The Mad Dash" theme plays; audience applause)
