On today's repeat of TPIR (6/23), I learned the contestant boards can hold bids of five numbers. One guy bid $12,995 on a motorcycle. I don't remember ever seeing that before.

During 2017's Dream Car Week, they offered a new car as an item up for bids for the first time, so everyone's display held five digits.

Supposedly pulling your upper eyelid over the lower one, then blowing through the nose is a good way to get a speck out of your eye. Nearly 30 years later, I still use that trick.

From Bergeron's Squares I learned slowly pulling your tongue out allows you to stop hiccups.

They installed LCD displays in Contestants' Row back at the start of Season 38.  Obviously, though, they're programmed to look just like the old sportstype displays unless there's a reason for them not to.
