For the first time in this series, we welcome the man responsible for some of the most surreal forum games ever... JACQUES!

He starts, like everyone else, with these 24 boxes...

£150,000

...that is, until the Dulux Purpliser comes in. Pick five reds, five blues, and five greens - all 1-12. Then it'll be time to decide what to do with them...

I am a tad confused... but I pick box 13!

Dumb moment - well let's do this properly:

Red: 2, 5, 7, 10, 12
Green: 1, 3, 8, 9, 11
Blue: 4, 6, 9, 11, 12

Amazing stuff here.

This is what you've got:

£20,000, £50,000, £75,000, £3,000, £10,000
£10, 1p, £50, £500, £25
50%, 30%, 20%, Wild, 0%

Now, you have to pair each of the reds up with one of the blues and one of the greens. In each case, the percentage shown in green is taken from the red and that cash amount is added to the blue.

For instance, if you did this pairing:

£50,000 - 20% of £25

...then you'd have £40,000 and £10,025 on your board.

The Wild is x% where x is an integer 1-49 inclusive.

Time to pair those up!

Ok!

75k/1p/20%
3k/£500/0%
20k/£50/50%
50K/£25/wild
10k/£10/30%

The wild, incidentally, is... 8%! So your £50k won't be taking too much of a beating, and the £25 won't suddenly become a particularly big number.

Here is your board!

You don't have Box 13... you have Box 23! Maybe you'll pick 13 as one of your starting five? Either way, good luck!

Brilliant. I'll go for...

1, 4, 13, 16, 19.

Box 1 - £4,025. It's not a real blue, but it will surely do.

Box 4 - £5,000. Similar comment, sans pre-game adjustment and misleading colour.

Box 13 - £60,000! Not good... but at least you dumped 20% of it onto the penny!

Box 16 - £100,000! You keep going up... please don't do it again!

Box 19 - £46,000! That is an uncomfortable opening round the Banker will surely have enjoyed, but you still have the top two in play!

You will have to open four boxes after this offer. But what will it be on this board?

The Banker says it is higher than at least one of the amounts you hit, and describes it as an ace offer!

I'm gonna be a Dan Judge and get the banker to pitch some good offers - £7.400!

PLAYER'S PREDICTION

£7,400

BANKER'S OFFER

£6,476.76

He was inspired by Wimbledon so turned the score from the men's singles final last year into his first offer!

Not an ace prediction, but with an error margin of 14.3%, you've served up an upgrade to your Box 25 options of six percentage points. Hard to fault that.

At the second offer, you'll make another prediction that will give you an extra option on that, adding or subtracting cash depending on your accuracy! But with four to open, at £6,476.76... Deal or No Deal?

NO DEAL NOEL

I will pick 2, 8 and 17 and 20.

Box 2 - £15,000. Not great, but it's an improvement on the last three...

Box 8 - £3,000. Your lowest box so far! Can we have a true blue, please?

Box 17 - £100! Yes we can!

Box 20 - £15,000.01... just about the worst box of the round.

Top two intact!

Don't worry, we've seen worse and it's only got a 1/7 chance of coming up At £10,025, with four to open, Deal or No Deal?

I'm back! I never deal at the second offer... so, NO DEAL!

My next picks are 21, 23, 9 and 15.

Also, I wouldn't mind a 'boxes left' section after my next offer

Onto the third round we go!

Box 21 - £10,050...

...Box 23 is yours! Moving on...

Box 9 - 10p! Well, that's the right one to pick, no doubt about it.

Box 15 - £10,000... you're hanging on in there with those top two!

Remaining boxes left on the wings to complete the round: 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 18, 22, 24. Pick one, then get ready for one last big prediction...

Looks like it'll have to be 12...!

Box 12 - £500! Nice choice.
