WOF Prize Puzzle

<< < (2/2)

Robert Hutchinson:
I LIKE the Mystery Round.

The Prize Puzzles are all right, I guess. I just wish they'd come up with something more clever for the prizes (and puzzles) themselves. There's only so many ways you can make up puzzles for beach vacations. I dunno, CATHODE RAY TUBE for a big screen TV or something. Make some of the contestants look confused before they solve.

I think it might also be neat to occasionally make the fourth round a Prize Puzzle--it could make the determination of the winner a lot more exciting whenever that round goes to speedup. OTOH, maybe that's too many sound cues for Pat to handle.

 They're basically using the format of the forgotten show \"Number Please\".  Anyone want some Pottery Corn Dishes?

Apologies if this sounds stupid, but wasn't there a similar round tried a few years ago - but with a bell sounding a bonus trip (a la \"bonus question time\")?  I seem to remember this possibly happening around 98 or 99.

Cheers,

Ryan :)

 If you and I are thinking of the same thing, it was just a bonus question given to whoever solved the puzzle. Unlike the CLUE/NEXT LINE PLEASE/FILL IN THE BLANK type puzzles, the question was actually asked by Charlie O'Donnell, using a very mysterious voice. I actually wanna say it was about 1996.

 When they ask a bonus question after a puzzle(they still do on some occasions), it is worth extra cash, was originally $500, then raised to $1000, then $2000, now $3000(they raised that bonus to $3K around the time of the 3000th syndie episode, will they soon raise it to $4K with the 4000th syndie show set to air in less than two months)
