Eggcrate displays never should have disappeared.
Password Plus might be the better game, but Super Password matches the vibe of Password better and I like it better for that reason.

I say because it's the same, it *SHOULD* be a push, but my wife (who was at one point a math teacher) says it shouldn't be, because it's neither higher nor lower, which was the bet. I don't agree, but she makes a fair point.

The correct casino analogy here is sports betting, which already has higher/lower bets in the form of over/unders. When the O/U is a whole number, if the final score lands on that number exactly, the bet is a push - the casino doesn't collect everyone's bets, because that would be ridiculous. And they have an easy way to prevent pushes that CS doesn't have - making the O/U a fraction - but don't always use it, so clearly they're fine with some number of bets being pushes.

I'll go along with that. There was a certain charm about them and I've been kind of fascinated with them ever since I first saw them in the '70s.

I actually liked the original format of Trivia Trap where they had to avoid picking the correct answer. I didn't see anything wrong with that.

"I'm [name of host] and welcome to [name of show]" is, as a grammatical construction, fingernails on the chalkboard of my soul.
