Playing the 12th game of ACB's Deal or No Deal is David (h2005) and he has been assigned Box 18 at random.

Just as a reminder, the rules have changed since you last played. Here they are: viewtopic.php?f=112&t=27149

Today's ZONK is a CORN DOG (description here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDb3Vy742Og ).

When you're ready, H, please choose your first 5 boxes.

** RING **

The Banker says that he's been looking forward to facing off against you again. He noticed that you've been playing a lot more aggressively lately, which can be a big problem to him if the boxes continue falling in your favor.

The Banker also says this offer should be a familiar sum of money to you.

So, with that in mind, it's time to predict your opening offer. Get within 10% and +£10,000 will be added to the Box 23 jackpot, but if you're outside the 10% band you will be facing a BRAIN BUSTER at the next offer.

What is your prediction, H?

Sorry for the delay!

I'll predict £13,000.

OH DEAR, H!

BANKER'S OFFER

£6,500

Sadly you missed the clear hint of this offer being a "familiar sum of money."

Now, you must face a BRAIN BUSTER at the next offer, which could be especially bad in your case as you only have 10 minutes to answer the question once it has been posted.

So, £6,500, Deal or No Deal?

NO DEAL

Next 3 please:

15, 16 and 17.

** RING **

The Banker apologizes for HIS delay, as he came down with the flu.

15- £100

16- £1

17- £10

All-blue round!

Now, here comes the all-important question:

2013 marked the first time in how many yrs. that the yr. was composed of four different digits?

A: 59
B: 48
C: 35
D: 26
E: 5

You have 10 minutes to answer this question.

Sorry, H, but the 10 minutes are up which means you automatically get the question wrong. The correct answer was D. 26 (1987).

Therefore the 1p is being replaced with a ZONK. Since the Banker knows you and Archie are close friends, he's putting the MOBILE PHONE Archie won the last time he played back into the mix:



This now makes the current board:


MOBILE PHONE


£5

£50

£250

£750

£10,000

£75,000
£100,000
£250,000


** RING **

The Banker says he's still recovering from his flu and thinks this this is a good offer for the board.

BANKER'S OFFER

£20,000

Deal or No Deal?

Oops, sorry for the delay again. I was clearing out my car ahead of a visit to the garage tomorrow.

NO DEAL

Next 3 please:

18, 19, 20

18- £5

A great round overall!

£250,000

** RING **

The Banker says he's still not feeling good. He sees a STICK in front of him, but that doesn't make sense as he's inside.

This prediction is an important one, as you'll have the OFFER BUTTON and deny the Banker the opportunity to look inside all of the remaining boxes if you are within 10%.

So, what is your prediction, H?

Hmm... £26,500?

BANKER'S OFFER

£20,000

Once again you didn't get the Banker's hint, and once again you are outside the 10% band.

As a result, the BANKER PEEKS inside all of the boxes.........

** RING **

The Banker has just looked inside the boxes, and he's just realized he allowed the box on the table (Box 18) to be opened.

Therefore, before we continue you must choose a new box as your own. He suggests that you choose Box 21 if you want to see confetti.

Oh! I thought the comment about a stick was a bit more cryptic than that.

Oh dear, I'll have box 22.

NO DEAL

Next 3 boxes:

21, 1 and 2 please.

Box 22 is now yours.

21- £750

1- £250

Can you find the last blue and have an all-red 8 box?

2-

** RING **

The Banker says he's about to faint, but before he does he's going to put 3 and 3 together.

Now, can you FINALLY predict an offer correctly, H? What is your prediction?

£33,000?

I need to be off now, so I'll finish this tomorrow if that's alright!

Yeah, that's fine, H.

Anyway, the offer is:



** RING **

The Banker says that offer wasn't made in a sane state of mind, but he will honor it. However, if you find ANY of the Top 3 in the next round the offer will go way down, so you should sleep on this offer and take it when you wake up!

So, £46,500, Deal or No Deal?

Seeing as the banker's made that threat and I don't have the offer button available, I'm going to deal the offer as it's very generous!

DEAL

Next 3 would've been:

3, 4 and 5 please.
