[quote name=\'teddygrammm\' date=\'Feb 20 2004, 10:13 PM\'] This is sort of an odd idea, but I was perusing the Money Game page on Brad Francini's GS Central, and I got to thinking...
Back in, let's say, the late 70s/early 80s, sometime when cars cost somewhere in the range of 4000, 6000 dollars or so, the possibilities for the first two digits of the car would be things like 45, 50, 55, or somewhere in that area. Now, though, with 5-digit cars, the first two digits generally do not exceed 20.
So anyway, the thing I got to wondering was if, because of this, non-winners of Money Game in the past took home a higher (albeit not by much) dollar amount than non-winners of today.
NOTE: if the above makes absolutely no sense, please feel free to ignore it. [/quote]
No, it makes perfect sense.
And they might have taken home a higher dollar amount--albeit a marginal one.
