Whew! questions
« Reply #30 on: June 15, 2013, 08:08:46 PM »

Not to interrupt the pissing back and forth, but let me bring up this seemingly valid question again. Also, did it seem like the vast majority of chargers who won did it calling \"long shot?\"


 




My question is, are there any overall statistics for the 13 months the show was on the air showing what percentage of the rounds were won by the blocker and the charger?  I remember when Blockbusters went off in 1982, Bill Cullen mentioned specific percentages of wins by solo players vs. family pairs, and while it wasn\'t a 50/50 split, it was surprisingly pretty even.

The majority of chargers called \"long shot\". That is slightly different than your statement.

At 40 minutes into the 1980 \"megasode\" (yak!) you can see a contestant charge his way to victory exposing all three blocks on the top line with three whole seconds remaining on the clock.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.
