And it's time to take the big risk once again. We've been away due to the Net Definition Mega Playoff. So some notes are in order...
\ Andy Silikovitz, one of the contestants in that playoff, could win a million in *this* episode. He currently has three wins and CY$88,064. A fourth win means an undefeated reign, a new car and a chance to win up to CY$1,000,000 in Go For The Gold.
\ Even though we've been away for an extended period of time, this is still Game 27 -- meaning if you played the main game in our 24th, 25th or 26th episodes, please sit on your hands and let someone else in on the virtual loot.
Now let's get to qualifying. The two players closest to the right answer, high or low, play against Andy.
On August 3, 2009, at 2:00pm Central, we watched a GSN rerun of "Lingo". The winning team scored how many points in this episode? Please respond to the nearest multiple of 25 points.
Due in part to the upcoming holiday weekend, answers are due Wednesday, June 2nd, at 9:00pm EDT/8:00pm CDT.
(time passes)
I'm sorry for the multiple appearances of the qualifying query. Looks like the technical difficulties are fixed.
Let's see the winning point total.

Three-hundred even. Who's the closest?
John Menjes 300
Three-hundred right on the money, John. You're Player 2. And who'll be Player 3?
Todd Davis 275
Robert McBride 325
Dean Scungio 325
Wow! Three players off by 25. Well, we break the tie by finding out who was the first of these three to lock in an answer. Who locked in first?
Dean Scungio 325
It's Deano. Todd, Robert, sorry you missed out this time. Hopefully we'll get an audience game in here on TBR -- next.

Scarlett Gray: "The Day Everybody's Name Became Pat" (audience laughs)

Scarlett: Of course, to have a chance at the million, Andy must defeat two challengers plus everyone's common foe, Dirty Harry!
(audience boos as Dirty Harry enters studio)
Scarlett: Find out what happens tonight on The Big Risk.
Scarlett: If he wins tonight's game, he'll go for the golden payoff of CY$1,000,000.
Scarlett: From CDM Enterprises, a division of Trax Productions, welcome to the game where you could win a million -- or lose your shirt. It's time to take -- The Big Risk.

Scarlett: And now, here's the star of our show, Doug Morris!
(Doug walks from behind The Big Risk board)
Doug: Thank you, Scarlett Gray. Helloooooooo, everybody and welcome to The Big Risk. This could a big show tonight -- so let's go right to D.J. Hamilton as she introduces our contesti.
D.J.: All right, Doug. Hi, everyone and hello to Dean Scungio, John Menjes and our reigning champ with more than CY$88,000, Andy Silikovitz.

Doug: Thanks, Deej. Welcome to tonight's match-up. We've already spotted each of you CY$250 -- but you're after much more, I know.

Doug: And here's our True or False board to help out -- not yet available in any store. (light laughter from the crowd) Behind the letters in "TRUE", we have different cyber-money amounts, the highest of which is CY$500. Behind the letters in "FALSE", numbers from 1 to 5 with no repeats.
Pick a letter from each word to determine the value of each question when it's your turn -- and how many questions you'll be asked.
Andy, your going for your fourth straight win and a shot at the million. We start with you. Choose two letters, please.
ADVANCE TO ROUND 1
