On "The Price is Right", if you played for a car worth $21,671 in the "Lucky $even" pricing game, what is the maximum amount in cash and prizes you could win in that one pricing game?
Doug: Brian M.
Brian M.: $21,678
Doug: Oh, no. It's actually $21,677. I'll explain why shortly. First, each of the challengers collect 50.

Doug: Brian, Bob Barker would spot you seven dollars after the car's wheeled out. But if you played perfectly and priced the car exactly, digit by digit, you'd still have to pay Bob $1.00 in order to "buy" the car -- leaving you with six bucks.
In addition, we should note this question was prepared long before Bob made the announcement he's retiring from "The Price is Right". He will dearly be missed. (audience cheers) Treasure this season of TPiR, everyone. OK, back to our game and the next question.
On an average day, four callers to Graceland ask to speak to this king of rock and roll. Name this legendary singer.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne once sang a terrible version of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" during the 7th inning stretch at what legendary major league ballpark on Chicago's north side?

What sport gave us the term "hat trick"?
Doug: Brian H.
Brian H.: Ice Hockey
Doug: It is a common hockey term. However, the right answer is Cricket. At one time, if a player scored three straight wickets, he received a hat. So that means Brian the champion and Dean each win 50.

Doug: That gives us a tie for the lead. Champ not far from said lead. Next question.
If your tragus is getting pierced, what does that mean? Does it mean your ear, navel or nose is getting pierced?
Doug: Dean.
Dean: Your nose?
Doug: No, it's the ear. So Brian and Brian collect 50.
BRIAN M.

Those scores could double at the dice table. D.J. tells us all about tonight's first risk.
D.J.: Thanks, Doug. Players, indeed it's time to play Dice Risk. Brian #1, since you're the champion, you get to pick a number and determine the dealer's point. As you know, we have cards ranked between a 4 and a 10 with no duplicates and no 7. What number would you like?
Brian M.: I choose #5.
D.J.: And behind #5 there is...
D.J.: ...a 5. So that's the point for our dealer to match. Now, remember, players, not only are you competing against each other, you're also competing against that dealer. And here he is -- a warm TBR welcome to Dirty Harry.
(Dirty Harry walks out to his usual chorus of boos)
Doug: In case CBS brass is watching, you don't want him succeeding Bob on "The Price is Right". (audience laughs)
D.J.: Well, instead of TPiR's Dice Game, how about we play ours? Players, now that the point is 5, you're going to bet as to whether or not Harry will make his point in seven rolls or less.
If you think he'll match his point of 5, you'll want to bet on "PASS". If you think Harry will fail and roll a 7 before matching the 5, bet on "DON'T PASS". Correct wagers pay off at 1-to-1, wrong predictions deduct the original wager from your score and all bets push if he doesn't roll a 5 or 7 after seven rolls.
Doug: And remember, minimum bet for this round is CY$50, the maximum bet is "all in" and you must bet in multiples of CY$50. So, place your bets.

D.J.: OK, Harry, they're all betting against you.
(Dirty Harry sneers at contestants) (a few laughs from the crowd)
D.J.: Give 'em a roll.
(Dirty Harry rolls)
D.J.: Big 11 to start. Six rolls to go.
(bells ring) (audience groans) (Dirty Harry grins)
D.J.: Oh, sorry guys. Harry matched the 5.

Doug: We're back for the second round of The Big Risk -- featuring Five-Card Risk -- after this break.
