Unspoken rules on game shows

I for one whenever I play along always try to associate the number selected with the prize shown... (e.g. Luggage under # 14, I think "Luggage needed for a 14 day vacation", or "Refrigerator under #23, I associate 23 degrees being cold, freezing even, like a Refrigerator...of course that logic could work with all 25 numbers on the board!

Do you or anyone remember a so-called “memory expert” who made the TV rounds back in the 70s? I’m sure he was a guest on Wonderama for one. Your strategy was what he suggested.

Not sure if it’s the same person or not but there was a Harry Lorayne who hawked a “Memory Power” on Amazing Discoveries in the early 1990s.

I would have misremembered the spelling. I believe Eye Guess gave out his home study course to contestants that flubbed some number of questions consecutively.

First national TV appearance was in 1958.

He built a house by himself? Why would he keep that a secret?
