The offer's gone up, but the banker's chopped 5% off the percentage, making it a relative mistake to deal.

But he thinks he has to, and deals.

2 boxes left

Average: £10,000
Offer: £5,990 (highest £9,900)
Offer (%): 59.90 (highest 65.00)

Fair deal: £5,022

Noel asks if he had gone on would he have taken the swap, Simon say NO WAY

Noel opens box 18 and reveals 10p

Box 13 contains the £20,000

Aw, the woman choosing the box in the LTL was called Kirsty - Noel missed his opportunity to say, "HULLO WULLCUM" as he did to Kirsty in her game, back in April 2006.

If they put the best prize in box 1 everytime in the viewers competition they could save themselves loads of money as its very rarely chosen.

Simon played that well, its just a shame his game never quite took off. But pleased he went away with a decent sum, and ignored Wake...sorry, Taylor's advice at the end!! :-D

My advice would be to swap for 4. But he was foolish enough to pick it

4 rocks.

Bravely played Simon glad you went away with a darn site more than 10p

If it's as scientific as that (which it would appear to be as like you said, 1 very rarely gets chosen), wouldn't they try and put the big money in boxes 2 and 3 (like they seem to do) - surely the viewer winning a big amount will encourage people to enter the LTL in the first place?

I'm still a bit emotionally drained from the last game, so didn't quite feel in the mood for today's show.

Looking at the final two, I think it's okay to deal there, as he's thinking of his family when he dealt. An extra £14,000 was available to him if he swapped, though.

Anyway, enjoy £5,990, Simon.

They never put the big money in 3, it always has the little or middle value. 2 has it frequently, as does 1.

WHAT.A.HOTTIE. I.LOVE.HIM.

So glad he dealt, although I missed the first 40mins of his game, but I recorded the More4 repeat, so that I can look at his face any time I want.

God, I am such a strange person...

Well done Si!

Sorry I made a mistake, it's 1 and 2 that normally have the big money in - you're right! But I still think it would be avantageous for them to put the big money in the box that gets most frequently chosen - the extra amount they have to give away will no doubt be made up for by the extra number of callers calling in when they are encouraged by a high LTL win!

Either that or they just do it randomly, without deliberately putting the big money in any particular box. Although I know that's a ridiculous suggestion...

I've no idea how they think to be honest. All im saying is that 1 is very rarely chosen - probably because 2 is in the middle of the 3 options and Noel always says choose 1, 2 or 3 in that order with 3 sticking in your mind the longest as its the last number to be mentioned. It'd be interesting to see how many times 1 would be chosen if he said it the other way around - "choose 3, 2 or 1" in that order.

Noel did once say "choose 1, 2 or 3, or 3, 2 or 1, or 1, 3 or 2, or 2, 3 or 1"!

I've often wondered how they do the LTL... do they put the money in randomly?

My sentiments too. It was a tough game, and played with courage and sense in the end. Well done Simon!

Simon didn't get very good offers, but at least he didn't win 10p.
