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 Skyline he has been assigned Box 15 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). Please start by choosing 5 boxes.

2, 5, 7, 9, 12!

2- £3,000

In a normal game that wouldn't be bad, but that's a HUGE amount to lose in the context of it being a monthly payment.

5- £5,000

And just like that, the top 2 amounts are gone. What a terrible way to start the series.

7- £50

That's better.

9- £100

Ordinarily £100 would be next to nothing in the context of this game, but as a monthly payment it could have been £60,000 over time!

12- 50p

It's now time for you to predict what your opening offer will be. If you are within 10% of the offer, you will get the offer button to aid you in this portion of the game.

Why do I suck at these things!?

Anyway, I guess £145...

The Banker is already convinced that Box 17 is your only hope, so:

BANKER'S OFFER

£117

No button for you.

Deal or No Deal?

Also, choose 3 more boxes.

NO DEAL

3, 6, 8.

3- £25

6- £1,000

You now only have 1 of your Power 4 left.

8- 1p

Board:
10p
£1
£5
£10
£250
£500
£750
£2,000

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

The Banker says that the board is completely polarized now, and if you have an all-blue round he'll offer £617 but if you have an all-red round he'll only offer £17. Therefore, you should now take:

BANKER'S OFFER

£234

Deal or No Deal?

Also, choose your next 3 boxes.

£617 sounds tempting, but I'm going to have to NO DEAL on that.

1, 4, 16, and be sure to provide a list of boxes remaining please

You know, Skyline, if this game goes to hell, there's a spot waiting for you on the Le Banquier Hanukkah special. You can win up to $1 million !

Est-ce que cette offre est acceptee ou refusee?

1- £750

4- £2,000

If this is a red, you're in HUGE trouble.

16-

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

The Banker is certain that this is your last chance to take decent money to the time ladder.

BANKER'S OFFER

£117

Deal or No Deal?

Also, choose 3 more boxes.

ACCEPTEE, but I'll probably do crap in it anyway

Anyway, NO DEAL.

14, 13, 10.

I would also like to know which boxes are left for the next round

A brave decision, Skyline. Just to heighten the tension, if you win 10p the most you can win on the time ladder is £60. However, if you take £5,000 to the time ladder, the most you can win is £300,000. Also, Box 17 can double both of those figures. Anyway, let's seeif you made the right decision:

14- £500

You can still win £450,000 (factoring in Box 17) if things fall right for you from here, though.

13-

10-

The Banker says he would offer 17p here, but he promised a past player who won that amount that he would never offer that again, so:

BANKER'S OFFER

53p

Deal or No Deal?

Also Swap or No Swap?

(And also you're decision on Box 17, please, as it's pretty obvious what you're going to do with that?)

NO DEAL... and open the blasted thing!

HOLD IT.

I smell a huge rat here. Did you honestly think you could get away with this?

It’s quite clear that this game was designed for failure from the start for the host’s personal enjoyment.

Skyline, none of this is your fault, and no one should be subject to such unfair treatment.

I knew something was wrong with this game, and I was right.

Les jeux sont faits.

Mark, I offered Skyline 77% of the average at 5 box and there was a 30% chance of both reds being discovered from there. Explain how that was unfair.

Anyway, Box 15 contains £1

Box 11 had 10p

Box 17 can turn that £1 monthly payment (a potential £600 total) into a VERY chunky £501 monthly payment (a potential £300,600). Here are the options for Box 17:

DOUBLE
ADD HALF
+£500
HALF
NOTHING

Would you like to purchase Box 17 with your £1? Deal or No Deal?

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

[New York accent]

There’s just something about this game that bothers me. I can’t quite put my finger on it.

*lights cigar*

Oh, just one more thing. It was engineered for failure from the start. I suspect foul play.

[/New York accent]

I buy the box and I choose 3.

I think it's just me sucking, to be honest, Doc... Perhaps some day the wind will change ;D
