** RING **

The Banker is threatening to deploy major damage, and he knows you won't want to be in live play when that happens...

BANKER'S OFFER

£43,000

It's a tricky game to play with such a large quantum element!

I think the Banker wants to save his Replay for the endgame, but to do that pretty much requires him baiting me into a forced-23 buy because that 24 is a heck of a bulwark against an endgame Replay whatever else it is!

It's very stable, but it's already at comfortably over half the average and that average projects to drop with the downshift in his locker. With that and the knowledge this might be my last chance to avoid a stacked-deck 23, DEAL.

11 red, 7.

£43,000 is yours! Did he fear-talk you into an exit, or did you indeed make the best move? We play it out...

11 - MYSTERY 2 = £30,000! That's one quantum element down and one more red card into 24, and this is more like it - SUPER BONUS!

7 - £236.93! That's enough for...


** REPLAY **

The SUPER BONUS sticks so no need for a repeat colour prediction, they remain locked. Same boxes?

Same boxes.

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£54,321 & NO DOWNSIDE BOX 24

That would've locked 24 and you've have had a 1/6 shot at six figures... Next two...

Would've been a very nice escape for me there in live play to get that second time! Ah well.

9 red, 5.

Anything but the blue...

9 - £245,663! BIGGIE Also a nice little ADD HALF for your 24, too!

5 - £42.99!! Jeez, that's £30k in the bag, unless...

** FORCED DOWNSHIFT **

That moves £95,968 down with a Standard Downshift to £25,000 which would've been your slightly lower floor!

He's convinced after Ben's game that he's good at saving money, so he wants to try again!

BANKER'S OFFER

BANKER'S GAMBLE

There's been some drama witnessed in proveouts, but NONE as weird as this.

NO DEAL, but it's my rights to an unimpeded Box 24 that I'm protecting here!

3 (red I guess if that's a thing LOL), 1.

Forty-three kept, but could it've been sixty-something?

3 - £30,000! Auto-red comes in to complete your Box 24 roster... and it's 160%!

1 - £69,175!

That leaves £25,000 vs £63,179...

He says he knows what you're not going to buy, but with regards to the other one, he'd like to propose this...

BANKER'S OFFER

AN EXTRA £9,001 NOT TO OPEN BOX 24

Incidentally, that takes you to £52,001 - and he's done that because it's £1 more than the best Small Upshift you can get from £43,000!

This is a glorious mess of a decision to make but NO DEAL given the worst outcome is still over £32k and happens to be a mere 12.5% shot.

Hyposwap, sure, why not.

Keeping the stake for one final gamble!

Box 17 is £25,000 and Box 4 had the £63,179!

Decision time...

So now you have a choice of boxes to buy! Here's what they're looking like:

Box 23:

360% (£154,800)
250% (£107,500)
160% (£68,800)
90% (£38,700)
40% (£17,200)
10% (£4,300)
NOTHING

Box 24:

SUPER BONUS (£86,000)
160% (£68,800)
ADD HALF (£64,500)
NO-LOSE REDO (£43,000 - £86,000)
SMALL UPSHIFT (£44,000 - £52,000)
MONEY BACK (£43,000)
75% (£32,250)
SMALL DOWNSHIFT (£20,000 - £42,500)

Whilst all eyes are on the latter, the original 23 sat over there has a 2/7 shot at sending you into six figures!

But it's up to you, would you like to buy one of those boxes for £43,000, Deal or No Deal?

As cool as it'd be to have some sort of stake on that 23... No. DEAL 24, option 7 because pun opportunities like that don't come along very often and 4am on Sunday is the perfect time to take this one.

The first ever purchase of a Box 24 in Aaron's DoND... Is KP rewarded, or will he receive one final blow after the most mindbending of games?!

Option 7...

Well, that was definitely the right worst-case scenario and a result neither side should complain about.

We've seen better games and we've seen worse games, but few if any nerdier ones.
