HS Round 1 Question 4

Ryan: Antonio, pick a square.

Antonio: Joe for the block.

 

 

Ryan: Joe, It's time for our version of Safe Crackers.

(Pink Panther theme plays as the doors open to reveal 
the Safe Crackers Safe.)

Ryan: How many entries were misspelled in the 1996 issue 
of Webster's dictionary?  The correct answer is in three figures 
-- and the digits in the correct answer are 1, 3 and 5.  Put 
the digits in the correct order to come up with the actual 
three-figure total of misspelled entries in the 1996 Webster's 
dictionary to unlock the safe.

Joe: 9!  Oh, wait, no.  Wrong show. (audience laughs) 153.

Antonio: I Disagree.

Ryan: Let's find out...

(Ryan walks over to the safe sets the dials for 1-5-3. Ryan turns 
the wheel and pulls the handle. The buzzer sounds and the locked 
light flashes.)

Ryan: 315 words were misspelled entries in the 1996 Webster's dictionary. Circle gets the square.

 

 

(ding; audience applause)
