OK, I'm fully back from sabbatical. Time to look for players for Net Poker. Since it's been awhile, let's recap before starting Game 9...
\ Chico Alexander's the champion with one win and CY$8500.
\ The outlaw's jackpot is at CY$77,500.
\ In this episode, we've got a special side game. So, we're looking for a total of five players. The two people closest to the correct answer to the following qualifying question, high or low, get to play against Chico. The next three closest play the side game.
\ NOTE: If you do get to play in "the main game" against Chico and lose, you'll have to wait the usual three games before trying to re-qualify. If you're in the side game, that counts as our audience game and you may try to qualify for Game 10.
...now the question...
On January 20th, 2004, President George W. Bush delivered his fourth State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress and a national television audience. How many times was Mr. Bush's address interrupted by applause?
And if elected your President... (audience cheers) ...I guarantee that fun will be had on Net Poker. (more cheers) Well, my speech was interrupted twice. But, how many times was the Prez interrupted by applause?
QUALIFYING ANSWER |
Seventy times. (audience cheers) OK, you can stop now. (audience laughs) Anyway, among those eligible to play the main game, who's the closest?
Andy Geller 71
Sharp shootin', Tex! Off by one. who's the next closest?
Michael Clifford 73
Ethan Musulin 67
Tie for distance between Michael and Ethan. The player who rang in sooner gets to play in the main event. Who?
Michael Clifford 73
OK, it's Michael. Ethan, you're in the audience game. Somehow. Some way. Now. Time for qualifiers in that side game. Not factoring in Andy and Michael, who came the closest?
Ethan Musulin 67
Andy Silikovitz 67
Mercy, Ethan, you like to think on the same wavelength with others. Well, who got in sooner this time?
Andy Silikovitz 67
All right, another Andy's in. He's agreed just to play in the side game since he's on retired champ status in Net Poker. So, Andy takes position #1 in the side game. Ethan, you're in position #2. And in position #3 is...
