33 boxes, £6,000,000, and just one question. Welcome to Deal or No Deal For the Rest of Your Life. Today's player is Willrelf and he has been assigned Box 3 at random for the first part of the game. As a remember, here's the board:

1p
10p
50p
£1
£5
£10
£25
£50
£100
£250
£500
£750
£1,000
£2,000
£3,000
£5,000

Whatever you win will be the monthly payment that you can possibly receive For the Rest of Your Life (if the 2nd part of the game goes your way). However, as the last game established the precedent, if you win less than £100 you will NOT get to play out the 2nd part of the game. You'll just choose choose a box and win the amount of payments in it.

Please start by choosing 5 boxes.

I'll have 2, 6, 9, 14 and 16 please.

2- 10p

6- £500

9- £10

14- £100

16- £750

A good board for those who think that getting rid of the low reds early is a good thing.

Board:

1p
50p
£1
£5
£25
£50
£250
£1,000
£2,000
£3,000
£5,000

You must now predict what you think the opening offer will be. If you're within 10%, you will get the offer button.

I'll say £750.

The Banker says that he's read your file and he knows that you're so cautious that you'd Deal £1,000 on a 1p/£75,000 finish, so there's NO WAY you'd get an offer that generous (referring to the £750).

BANKER'S OFFER

£300

The button is not in play.

Deal or No Deal?

Also, choose your next 3 boxes.

No Deal and I'll pick 1, 5 and 12.

1- 1p

5- £3,000

12- 50p

Those two blues SHOULD balance out the loss of the 2nd biggest prize, but it's ultimately the Banker's call...............................

Board:

£1
£5
£25
£50
£250
£1,000
£2,000
£5,000

The Banker says that you'll be in HUGE trouble if you lose two reds in the next round (which is a 50/50 chance), so you would be foolish not to Deal now:

BANKER'S OFFER

£444

Deal or No Deal?

Also, choose your next 3 boxes.

I'm gonna go for it, No Deal.

4, 8 and 13.

4- £25

8- £250

The Banker said you'd be in trouble if you found 2 reds in this round, so this is a VERY important box.

13-

Banker Time...................

The Banker says this is a board that involves HUGE risk but also a potential HUGE reward, for if you have the nightmare round he'll offer £3 but if you have the perfect round he'll offer £3,000. However, he wants to stop you now with:

BANKER'S OFFER

£444

Deal or No Deal?

Also, choose your next 3 boxes.

Deal.

10, 11 and 15.

OK then. You're going to the time ladder with £444 (assuming you don't purchase Box 17). Could you have been loaded for life with a £5,000 monthly payment, though?

10- £1,000

11- £5,000

You definitely got out at just the right time.

15- £50

And with £1 and £25 remaining:

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£9.17

Your Box 3 had £1 and Box 7 had £25.

Now, for Box 17:

DOUBLE
ADD HALF
+£500
HALF
NOTHING

The Banker rings back and says that he'll GUARANTEE you use of the Offer Button in the next part of the game if you Deal Box 17 and it doesn't contain nothing.

So, with that in mind, Deal or No Deal to Box 17?

Also, choose a number from 1 to 5 to determine its contents.

Deal and 4.

WOW.

Hopefully that brave decision is rewarded.



Now, for the time board:

You've been assigned Box 7 at random. Please start by choosing 5 boxes.

I'm going to bed now so I'll continue this again from tomorrow morning.

2- 10 Months

Banker Time.....................

The Banker says he'll sleep well tonight after a round like that.

BANKER'S OFFER

1 year and 6 Months

That's a total of £888 * 18 = £15,984 that he's offering to you.

Deal or No Deal?

Also, choose your next 3 boxes (unless you want to use the offer button in this round).

No Deal.

12, 14, 16.

I see that you're mirroring the system another forum member frequently uses. Will it work out?

12- 25 years

Yikes, the reds are disappearing in a hurry.

14- 8 months

ALL of the bottom 5 amounts are still in play. Surely this next box will contain one of them?
