And we're back. Ayjo, we need one more contestant!

Image Ayjo: And I have one for you. All the way from France, no less. Jesuiscontent, come on down! You're the next contestant on the Talkhaus Price is Right!

Now what's our last item up for bids for the day?

Image Ayjo: It's a lovely oak wall clock! It's supposed to be an antique, but my guess is that it was actually made in a sweatshop in some third world country that renamed itself "Antique" so it can legally call its products "Antiques". But I digress. It's an old-style cuckoo clock. It even has a bird inside it! Looks pretty well made, at least. Are we allowed to have two timepiece one-bids in a single show?
Image
The usual rules apply. Jesuiscontent will bid first, followed by Wolfolotl, FluffiMasta, and Whimsical Calamari.

Bid a little...conservatively, did we?

Actual retail price of that clock is... holy hell, $1,332! Who would pay that much for a clock? Some people.
Image
Well, it doesn't matter. Whimsical Calamari, get up here on stage, because we've got quite the prize for you. Bring it out, boys!

*a car is driven on stage*

Image Ayjo: It's a new car! Presenting the Dord Extravagator! Comes with standard features, air conditioner, working brakes, one of those fancy rear window windshield wipers, and even a spare tire in the trunk! (That's the "boot" for you English. I think.)
Image
Anyone familiar with the Price is Right would have known this game was coming, because hey, it's the only one where a car is actually driven on stage! Hooray!

Now. See that car? It's up for sale, and because I'm crazy, I'm only charging you $1 for it. And hey... *hands Whimsical Calamari seven $1 bills* ...here's seven bucks.

Of course, you *know* it's not going to be quite *that* easy. You have to guess each digit in the price of that car. For every number you're off, either above or below, you have to return one dollar to me. That is to say, if you were to guess 5 and the digit was a 7, you'd have to give me $2 back. If you guess the number exactly on the nose, you'll lose no money. If, at the end of the game, you still have at least one dollar left, that car is yours.

And because I'm so generous (and because it's how they do things on the show), I'll give you that first digit for free.
Image
It's a 2. Now, what do you believe that second digit is?

It's a 3. Ouch. That'll cost you $3... so you gotta make that $4 you have left count. What's that third digit?

Ouch. Off by three again... so that means you're left with only $1. It's not looking good, but it's not *completely* hopeless. You just... have to get both of those last two numbers exactly right... no pressure. :P

Well, if that's anything but a 9, the game's over. Come on, 9! Give us a 9!
Image
*losing horns*

...now *that* hurts. I'm afraid you're broke. *takes back last dollar*

Just for fun, what's that last digit?
Image
So there we go. Thanks for playing, anyhow. You'll be back soon enough to spin the big wheel, though. We had a $1,000 winner last time, so who knows, maybe we'll see even more money won this time!

Back after these words from our sponsors.

*pan over Contestants' Row, showing Wolfolotl, FluffiMasta, and Jesuiscontent waving at the camera and generally acting silly*

Image Ayjo: Contestants not appearing on today's show will receive the Suck-O-Matic 9000, the latest vacuum cleaner from Whammo! Coporation. Yes, Coporation. They misspelled their own name. The only one of their products that *doesn't* suck are their vacuums!

Image Ayjo: Also, Chee! Brand Cheese Crackers. Chee! The preferred snack of flying squirrels everywhere. Back to you, YK.

And we're back at the big wheel, where three more contestants have a shot at $26,000! You know the rules from the first round, so there's no need to repeat them. zmonbobbo was the only contestant who won his pricing game this time, so he gets to spin last. Whimsical Calamari, who had such terrible luck in the ironically named Lucky Seven, gets to spin first. Ditocoaf, whose luck in Punch-A-Bunch wasn't significantly better, will spin second, due to his item up for bids being worth more. Yurp. :P

Anyhow, Whimsical Calamari, gimme a number from 1-20. Err... Spin that wheel! You know the drill.

You spun a solid 85 cents. I'm... guessing you'll want to stick with that?
Calculation: 1 came up on random.org. 16+1=17, x5=85. Ze.

60 cents. Not bad, but not good enough. Spin again!
Calculation: Rolled an 11. 11+1=12 x5=60. Yay.

Clearly that 1 wasn't good enough. It's time to step up my game... with a 2!

20 cents... that gives you 80 cents, which would be a good score, except Whimsical Calamari has 85 cents. No go today, but thanks for playing!
Calculation: Got a 2. 2+2=4 x5=20. Woohoo.

Oh well! I won 250 bucks, a copy of War Shoot: The Game, and a cheese slicer! All together I'd say I'm the real winner here.
