Power of 10 Question
« on: August 30, 2007, 06:27:04 PM »
I'm surprised there isn't a bit more talk about this show.

In watching the Aug 29th episode, there was a point in the qualifying game where one contestant guessed 49%, the other 19% and the answer was 35%.  

I'm wondering what would happen if it had been 34% and both contestants had tied?  Is that something you think we'd probably never see because they'd just edit it out?

I've also seen this senario almost happen a couple of other times.

/Wondering if I'm just about the only one in the world who wonders about these things...

No, I've pondered that a couple of times. I figured that they would just tell us it was a tie, no points would be scored, and we'd continue.

Or, since this is 2007, it would be left on the cutting room floor.

That's what I'm thinking too, although to me, it makes no sense to do so when the show straddles. What's an extra two minute qualifier?

That's my vote too, unless Drew manages to get enough humor out of it.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

I think they would leave it in as something interesting.  This show doesn't seem to be edited much at all.  It is definitely not edited as WWTBAM or The World Series of Pop Culture.
