I would not wager against you on that one. And I would be happy if you are right, because the Money Game and $50 Double Play feel sooooooo disappointing after a car game. Especially after a car WIN.

When one player swept both games, they should have let the other contestant play both $50 puzzles. It would make the show look like a generous, fun place where they're more interested in giving things away than competition. Instead, it kind of looked to me like a sideline reporter interviewing someone on the losing team real quick before the Super Bowl champs interrupt to literally run a victory lap around them.

Agreed. One of the eps. from the first week had a guy named Ronnie sweep and then win a car in the second attempt. I found it odd that they let him play for more instead of doing what you suggested, or giving his opponent both Double Play puzzles for $100. Granted, his opponent did win $50, so at least she didn't go home empty-handed.

You can have a one-row puzzle filling the entirety of the board, a two-row puzzle (each row of the rebus fits nicely in a block of 15 squares) or a three-row puzzle (each row being 10 squares), with no overlap into another row, i.e., there won't be something dangling from the first row of a 3-row rebus behind square 11. It seems Concentration has less empty squares than Classic, particularly in the corners.

This post of Mike's popped up in my mind today... there was a puzzle on Classic on Buzzr today (we're currently in puzzle-bonus-likely interrupted puzzle-bonus from Jan 1988) that at the start the show didn't open any squares for reasons that would become "evident". By the end when the entire puzzle was revealed over *half* of the spaces were just that sky blue background. It seemed like a puzzle that was designed for a tie breaker in the best 2-out-of-3 format popped up a few months too early. Alex was cracking jokes about it the entire time.
