Sean Bean played 006, yep!

And Terminator 2 was an 18-rated movie back then, yes?

sean Bean - 006
Terminator 2, I believe was an 18 at release and was the first one I ever watched when my nan went to sleep! when I was younger.

Is that all of them???


No, theres still 14 - one pound coin. Remember, I could have come to stone/rock with the logic I used....

Was the Budweiser one solved? (Number of bottles of said beer you drank per night in Bristol perhaps?)

THERES 14 POUNDS IN A STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CORRECT!!!!!!! Yay I love this game. I wish I could have guessed!!!!

The 21 referred to the legal drinking age in USA, thats why it was specifically Bud, an American beer.

Still prefer my version, I've read a fair bit about the drinking exploits of DONDers on here over the years...

thank you dan!! that was a great game! i loved thinking of them!! as you can see from my use of upper case letters, i was most excited by realising the £1 one and i wanted to be the first to get it!!!!!!hehe....im not competitive in anyway mind you!!!!!!

got anymore for us dan?!

No, just used it for 1-22. i mentioned some of the numbers and what they meant in my game, but it was cut. Like the fact that Mavis was the Terminator!!!

ah its a shame when fun stuff like that is cut out isnt it?
and yes, i should have remembered the propsal date from your show, shame on me!!!

oh well, as a legend once said..."good game!! good game!!!!"

as another Legend once said, "Tiddly winky winky winky Tiddly winky woo, I LOVE YOU!"

Ahh that was fun!

hahahha!!!!!!!!!!! the laughter!!!!!

Someone else make their list of 1-22. I'd rather guess those than work, ha ha ha. It's actually a really good memory system and ridiculously easy to use. I still remember my numbers without looking,

1,7,6,18,20
LUCY (20) attending to BRAD PITTS(7) injury. SEAN BEAN (6) is dressed up as THE TERMINATOR (18), with the red dot EYE(1) and was playing around like a kid, shooting guns, getting rough etc, Brad Pitt is holding his EYE (again). Lucy is like the mom of these two kids, telling SEAN BEAN off for being naughty and BRAD PITT is having a little tantrum.

2,13,9
SAMANDA (2) making little BREAD (13) slippers for a CAT's (9) FEET (round 1, lowest of the body parts). The cat is hopping around in pain as the bread is still hot due to Samandas dizziness. (Note: - I hate the name Samanda, but it helps in this sense to seek things simple, and one word is beeter than "Sam and Amanda")

22,11,21
PHIL HELLMUTH (11) with a BUD (21) between his KNEES (2nd round), whils screeching through the streets in a FORMULA ONE CAR (22)

16,3,8
MOLLY RINGWALD (16) with a wrestling belt around her WAIST (3rd round), ready to take on a OCTOPUS (8) but in a strange TRIANGULAR (3) Ring.

12,19,17
ME (19) driving my first CAR (17) at night with no lights, so I have a TORCH (12) wedged between by SHOULDER (4th round) and head in a very poor attempt to drive safely.

10,4,14 (although I had to replace this one in my game due to it being my box!)
DUDLEY MOORE(10) has hit hard times. He's in the town Centre, balancing a TABLE (4) on his HEAD (5th Round) to try and get money. An onlooker throws a POUND (14) coin at him and he falls to the ground in a heap.

5-15
Not needed to be remebered as it is the last two boxes and therefore no need for a decision.

The idea is to keep the stories really vivd and a bit abstract, so you remember them better. It really does work and is surprisingly easy.

My system:

I looked at the boxes, thought "aaaaarrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!"...and picked them!! I still have no idea how I got to where I did, and it was just pure chance that I kept box 14 (Jacquie) to the end and she had the £250k!

Before i went on there I thought that a system would only stress me out, and so I went for the random approach. I must admit, when I stood up off the crazy chair to pick my first box, i thought to myself, "Oh s**t! I should have come with a system!" I think it might have cleared my head a little and give me a bit of a plan to follow. Being a teacher, on hindsight, I kind of think it strange I didnt think of it that way before! haha...it could have been a whole different game altogether!!!

I have to say though, as numbers dont mean anything to me so it would have been hard for me to chose a system meaningful enough for me to have faith in it (if that makes sense?) ...thats why I felt safer trusting my own instincts. My brain isnt mathematical in the slightest, and I would never be able to remember a system like yours Dan! As great as it is, and fun!

I devised a system I'd use if I ever applied to go on the show to remove the worry of not knowing what number to pick next (not that I probably ever will apply) which is a sequence but it's so obscure, I'd want to try and get the banker to work it out.

omg i could never remember all that

Maybe you can answer this for me though please Dan

Does the person who is playing their game that day get to choose their box first before anybody else does? Noel asks you to confirm that you chose your box at random...but surely, unless you get the first pick, it is not random.

If it is not done this way, I would be very grateful if you could inform me of how those choosing of boxes process is actually done and also how the person who is playing that day is chosen. You might want to put this in private....not sure if you are allowed to say or not . cheers

They come along the wings, before the game and everyone picks balls out of a bag. So it is random. It's random in the sense that you have no choice of picking any particular number and whichever order you get to pick, you have the exact same chance of picking a specified number. I can understand why you may think that this would not be random, because if people pick the balls before you, some of your options ar removed, but think of it this way: -

If you have the first pick, the bag is full of 22 balls. You therefore have an equal 1/22 shot of picking any given ball. On the flip side, if you were last and there is one ball left, you still have a 1/22 shot that any given ball was left in the bag. If 11 people have chosen and there are 11 balls left. the chances you can pick a given number is still 22:1. If you were aiming for number 1, there is a 1/2 chance that the ball is left in the bag and if it is, there is a 1/11 chance of picking the specified ball. to do this, you have to win both arguments, the 1/2 (is the ball left) and the 1/11 (pick the correct ball). Chances of fulfilling both criteria is 1/22.

As long as the people have no way of choosing or increasing their chances of picking a given ball, then you still have the same chance of receiving any ball using this method.

so, yeah, it is totally random, but the selection of contestants is chosen by the producers for many reasons, ususally the amount of shows is in the 17+ range and they like to keep the wings with a good balance of gender, age, race and a nice mix of characters. This means that we can often predict who may be coming next, but it isn't an exact science and we got it wrong plenty of times!! not only do the wings need to be balanced though, the order of contestants also does. So rarely will you see two older contestants play back to back, or 3 males/females, etc.

give us an example and I'd love to try and work it out.....

Friday is fun and games day!!!

Hahahah blinding me with the science of statistics. I do sort of understand though. Thank you very much for taking the time to explain.

Also Dan, the same balls out of the same bag are used to decide the amounts of money that go into each box
