Title: Magic Number question
Post by: whewfan on August 27, 2023, 02:45:48 AM

I recently saw a TPIR where a contestant set the magic number one dollar ABOVE the price of the lower priced prize and won. This made me think, what happens if the contestant sets the magic number that's the EXACT price of either prize? Is that a win? I'm not sure that's happened before.

And it did in fact happen once.

I didn't know it was retired! Dang it! I loved that game. One might think they could bring it back with a video screen, although I suppose that wouldn't help if the broken part was the lever.

I think the broken part of the game was the contestants playing it...

Then they can bring it back when they need to save money on the prize budget.
