[edit] He, or She, or He or She?

I certainly don't want to get into a revert war here, so please explain: Why is "he" more accurate than "he", or "they", or "he or she", or whatever? Bduddy 06:55, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

(In case you're wondering, I'm the IP address that added "he or she"... just to let you know)

"He" is more accurate than "they" because "he" is singular and "they" isn't. There is simply no way to justify using "they" to refer to a single person.
"He" really isn't more accurate than "he or she" (although "or she" has pretty much been excised from every Price article except for this one); I had just gotten so used to seeing "they" stuck into these articles today that I just reverted it without thinking about it. -TPIRFanSteve 07:14, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cheating

On the article about the Shell Game, it mentions that this is one of the only games that has been cheated on. All of the other articles have the explanation. Does anybody know how this game was cheated?

Didn't realize there wasn't anything there. I'll write something up. -TPIRFanSteve 03:22, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits on June 20, 2006

Everyone, please stop trying to change this page to say that this episode had the third perfect playing of Pathfinder. Bob makes up records all the time, and this is actually one of the most easily provable instances of it. The game has been played perfectly many, many times over the years, including three times in a row during Season 26. -TPIRFanSteve 22:05, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Perfect wins

For the love of God, PLEASE STOP REVERTING THIS PAGE. It is common knowledge that Bob makes up records on a regular basis; this is no different, and it is in fact one of his easiest fake records to debunk. I cite recaps of the shows from April 7, 1987, January 28, 1998, February 13, 1998, February 27, 1998, and March 29, 2006.

Can we please lay this to rest now? -TPIRFanSteve 22:03, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I guess that depends on whether or not people actually want to read factual information here. Sadly, some want to be able to say "Hey look what I did!" instead. Thanks for your efforts. -Dzinkin 01:00, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
It is a shame people don't want to look at accurate and factual information. Sad, just sad. Daor Nedlog 17:03, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Someone just did it again; can we edit it now? (And what season are we in, anyway?)Craig3410 15:22, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Personally, I don't think it's very relevant, considering there is no prize awarded for doing so. A perfect win is just a win. It would be difficult to source something like that without dipping into original research. -—Preceding unsigned comment added by Twigboy (talk • contribs)
1.) It didn't "happen again;" as can be confirmed here, this was a rerun of the March 29 episode.
2.) I don't think it's relevant at all. It was only added in the first place after Bob gave out a fake record in June, and it's really not that rare of an event. -TPIRFanSteve 00:56, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pathfinder played first

If Pathfinder is pricing game 1, i think Bob enters from the audience, since the prop blocks his regular entrance. 66.153.66.223 11:37, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't even think that's ever happened. I know it hasn't happened in the last 11 years. -TPIRFanSteve 18:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
