\ This is Game 24. If you played in Game 21, 22 or 23, please sit on your hands and let someone else in on the fun. Can't remember when you last played? Go to www.dougmorris.net/tbr and click on "archives".
On to qualifying. We seek two challengers. The two closest to the right answer to the following query, high or low, play against John.
On May 16, 2009, at 9:30pm Central, we watched a GSN rerun of "Russian Roulette". This episode was originally part of the show's first season. Including bonus round winnings, how much money did the episode's winning contestant collect? Please respond to the nearest multiple of $50.
(time passes)
OK, that's time. Let's see what the right answer looks like.

The champion dropped out with $4100 in tow. That said, who's the closest?
Joseph Bohan $3250
It's the colonel, Joseph Bohan. Next closest is...
Nikolai Wataja $2800
...Canada's own Nikolai. Thanks to all for playing. TBR's comin' at ya shortly.
Nikolai has elected to drop out of participation from this main game. Since we did not get far into this game and because he has yet to take a turn, he is allowed to qualify for the next main game of The Big Risk. The next closest player in qualifying will take Nikolai's place

Doug: We just started each of you with CY$250. You can win more at the True or False board.

Doug: Behind the letters in "True" are different amounts of cyber-money -- up to CY$500. Behind the letters in "False" are the numbers 1 through 5 with no repeats. When it's your turn, you'll pick a letter from each row. Those selections will determine the value of each questions you play -- and the number of questions you get to play.
