Sticking my nose in where it's not needed because I'm an insomniac tonight / this morning:

Picture a string of Christmas bulbs where the lights blink on and off in a regular timing, via a programmable box called a chaser.  Now, set that strand up so that only every third position has a bulb; that is, if bulbs are supposed to be 2 inches apart in the display, make them 6 inches apart on this strand.  Now do that again with two more strands, only having the bulbs be in one position before and one after the first.

Plug all of those into a chaser that can do what's called a \"negative chase sequence\".  In that, instead of every nth light being on, every nth light is off.

Instant Pyramid lights.

 Ah. Point being, that wasn't done with off-the-shelf components from the local Walmart.

That's very impressive. I do have a question for John, though.  Did your friend Doug ever complete the set by adding the second backdrop, the crown and the lights behind the $100K sign?

  Geeez,  How Big is that Thing?  Looks like it could be a little model until I see the hand turn the Trilon Box. Then it suddenly looks like it could be as big as the actual set used on the show. LOL..... You guys are Fu*&ing Insane!
