[edit] Was Ten Chances played first?

If Ten Chances was played first, Bob will enter the stage from the audience, since the setup blocks the normal entrance.

Messy Thinking 22:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC) The Ten Chances board has three significant features: the whiteboards on which the contestants mark their answers, the numerical buttons that Bob presses after a guess, and the number display that drops upon a correct answer or exhausting all turns. They ARE important to the way the game works.

No, it isn't.

Please drop this. It's getting silly. -TPIRFanSteve 00:41, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Original rules

Calling TPIRFanSteve: I seem to remember the original rules of the game did not have the so-called "zero rule" (as stated in the article). For further clarity, should the article specifically state that, prior to the 1980s, numbers other than zero (or five, as sometimes is the case) could be last digit in the price of prizes (e.g., a two-digit prize being $56, or a three-digit prize for $429)? If so, clean this up and word it better than I'm sure I have. [[Briguy52748 20:04, 30 November 2007 (UTC)]] (P.S., not sure if it is important to include in the article, but was this game ever played for a prize other than a car, such as a boat?)

I don't think it's necessary...I think the article already states that the rule didn't always exist.

Can't answer the boat question, unfortunately, although I'd guess it wasn't. -TPIRFanSteve 05:25, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks much, Steve. [[Briguy52748 17:14, 1 December 2007 (UTC)]]
