Believe it or not, a Question About "Small Talk"

[HairMetalLives]

Small Talk's Wikipedia entry (which I know is not a reliable source on anything) states the following regarding tie breakers:

"Originally, the tiebreaker consisted of the two players predicting how one of the kids would respond to a numerical question, with one giving a number and the other deciding if it would be higher or lower than that; because this was a copy of the format from Card Sharks, a lawsuit was threatened, and the tiebreaker was changed."

Can any of the experts here varify or debunk this? I have 58 of the 65 episodes on tape (and am willing to admit that, although I know you're either laughing or questioning my intelligence) and that scenario above never took place.

Between that and "you can't copyright the Pie Rule", I think "debunk" is a pretty safe bet.

I kind of thought that might be the case. Thanks.

EDIT: Fixed. The article needed to be re-written, anyway.

I see one mistake yet: there are no quotes around "comedian."

I suspect the person who typed that paragraph and the contents of my parent's septic tank bear a remarkable resemblance to each other.
