Talk:Gas Money

Prices?
In the first playing, the cash values directly correlated to the distance from the correct price (the price furthest from the actual price was $1000, the next $2000, the next $3000, and the nearest was $4000. The question is whether this is coincidence, or the ongoing policy of the game (presumably it would make the game more interesting, as the most obviously wrong price doesn't win the contestant as much money), but also that it could aid the player in deciding whether to go on or not. eg: if the prices are 21k, 22k 25k and 26k and 30k, and you choose 22k as correct, and find the $4000 behind 26k, you could know you messed up picking the right price, though you wouldn't know whether 25 or 27 was correct, unless there was another price that could clue you in (in my example, picking if 21k revealed $1000, you'd know 30k was the right price, but if 21k was $2000, you'd know 25k was the right price).

 * Well, based on today's playing, the prices had no bearing on the money amounts. Which makes it less risky to go on for some players than others, but makes it less predictable as well. TheHYPO (talk) 15:14, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
