From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Gameplay
Host Bob Barker gives the contestant three blocks, each labeled "1," "2" and "3". The contestant is asked to place each of the blocks where he thinks appropriate, knowing that the "1" block belongs on the least expensive prize, the "2" block on the medium-priced prize, and the "3" block belongs on the most expensive prize.
Correctly arranging the blocks wins all three prizes. Incorrectly doing so wins nothing at all.
[edit] Trivia
- The unusual spelling of this Pricing Game's title stems from its logo, on which the name is written in childish script with backwards "S"'s.
- Some fans have noted that Clearance Sale - which debuted two years after Eazy az 1 2 3 - is a virtually identical game.
- On December 17, 2003, Bob accidentally reversed the rules of the game (i.e. block #1 goes on the most expensive prize, block #3 on the least expensive prize). The contestant made no mention of the actual rules, played by the reversed rules, and won.
[edit] Foreign versions of Eazy az 1 2 3
Eazy az 1 2 3 was played on both the 1980s UK version of the show and on Bruce's Price Is Right (from the third series onward) under the title "Most Expensive"; it is also played on the current UK show under the more similar title "Easy as 1 2 3". The only non-cosmetic difference between the British and American versions of the game is that winners on the 1980s programme would only win the most expensive of the three prizes.
