00:00During the next 30 minutes,
00:08Intuition could win our players $12,000 in cash because...
00:13It's time to challenge everybody's knowledge.
00:18It's time to play the percentages.
00:21And now, here's our host, Jeff Edwards.
00:31Thank you very much.
00:33Why'd you quit so fast?
00:35Anyway, Jay Stewart is right.
00:37During this program, someone here could win at least $12,000
00:40as our jackpot grows, and all of you out there
00:42are gonna be challenged by what's happening here.
00:44So, first of all, let's meet the two married couples
00:46who are gonna be opposing each other.
00:47Jay, if you'd do that, please.
00:49Our current champions, whose winnings total $2,800 in cash,
00:53she'd like to be a police officer, and her name is Vicki.
00:56He's a salesman, and his name is Dennis.
00:59And the married name they share is William.
01:03And their opponent, she's a teacher, and her name is Wendy.
01:07He officiates football games, and his name is Bernard.
01:11And the married name they share is Samuels.
01:20Well, champs, how you doing? All right?
01:22Just great.
01:23Just fine.
01:24Good.
01:25Well, I'm glad you both agree on something.
01:26Vicki, I want to ask you, you both seem to be wearing a medal
01:29around your chest that looks similar.
01:32What is that?
01:33Yes.
01:34Excuse me.
01:35This is an Egyptian ankh with the symbol of our church in the middle.
01:39I see.
01:40Yes.
01:41Okay.
01:42Well, that's it.
01:43This is very lovely.
01:44Weren't you a minister at one time?
01:45Yes, I was, Jeff.
01:46Uh-huh.
01:47You have a couple of hobbies.
01:48Hobbies?
01:49Let's see.
01:50I have so many of them.
01:51I love, I love singing, which is, of course, we've talked about yesterday.
01:54Uh-huh.
01:55I love gourmet cooking.
01:56Uh-huh.
01:57And I love poker playing.
01:58That's the one.
01:59That's the one.
02:00Okay, Dennis and Vicki, good luck to you here on the show.
02:02Let me meet the challengers here just for a second, Wendy and Bernard.
02:05Wendy, we found out that you're a teacher.
02:06Right.
02:07And you have three children?
02:08Did you have two?
02:09No, no.
02:10Only two.
02:11Only two.
02:12I don't mean to rush you.
02:13Not overnight.
02:14No.
02:15Well, sometimes it happens overnight.
02:16You never can tell.
02:17Bernard, you are also a teacher, right?
02:19Yes, I am.
02:20I'm a teacher and a counselor.
02:21What do you teach?
02:22I teach psychology.
02:23Uh-huh.
02:24At what level?
02:25Seniors, 12th grade high school.
02:27Senior?
02:28Boy, I wish I'd learned psychology when I was a senior in high school.
02:30I could have understood my mother when I got to college.
02:32Well, anyway, Bernard and Wendy, good luck to you here on the show.
02:36Now, I want to remind you that these two married couples are going to play against each other.
02:38The wife will play against the wife.
02:39The husband against the husband.
02:40We have asked hundreds of people questions.
02:42And now, of course, it's up to our players to estimate what percentage of the people got the questions right.
02:47And then the game goes on from there.
02:49First team to reach 300 points gets $300.
02:51Goes on to play a bonus game worth $2,500.
02:54On our last show, we ran out of time.
02:56So now we're going to resume the game.
02:58The scores at that time were the Samuels 100 and 100 for the Williams.
03:03So you each have 100 and it is the ladies' turn to play.
03:06Remember, 300 wins the game.
03:07You ready to go, Wendy?
03:08I'm ready.
03:09Ready to go, Vicki?
03:10Ready.
03:11Here we are.
03:12Here's your question.
03:13You're going to have a question of 300 women.
03:14In Fahrenheit, what is the boiling point of water?
03:18What percentage of women knew the correct answer?
03:21In Fahrenheit, what is the boiling point of water?
03:24Now remember, a player cannot change a number once they register it here on our computer.
03:29Once it's in there, it is locked in, and that is it.
03:31Everybody's locked in.
03:32Wendy, what do you say?
03:33What percentage of women knew the correct answer to that?
03:36I say, said, 61%.
03:38I think about 61% would know the boiling point of water.
03:41Okay.
03:42What do you say, Vicki?
03:43Well, since women are usually very intelligent, I said 72.
03:48You said 72%.
03:49A little higher, yes.
03:50Uh-huh.
03:51Let's find out how intelligent those women are.
03:53First of all, let me tell you, the player closer to the true percentage wins those points.
03:56If you hit it right on the nose, you win the game right then and there.
03:59And, of course, you also win our growing jackpot, which today is sitting at $12,000.
04:05I wish you good luck.
04:09You said 61%.
04:11You said 72%.
04:12What percentage of these very smart women could tell us the boiling point of water?
04:17Thirty percent.
04:18Thirty percent.
04:19All right.
04:20You get the points.
04:21All right.
04:25You have 30 points.
04:26That gives you a total right now of 130 points.
04:29Wendy and Bernard.
04:30Now, Wendy, if 30% knew the answer, 70% did not know the answer.
04:36And you can get those 70 points either by telling me yourself the boiling point of water,
04:40or maybe you want to challenge Vicki over there, who is one of the smart women.
04:44I think that face is a bluff, but I'm going to challenge her anyway.
04:48You're going to challenge.
04:49I'm going to try it.
04:50Let's see how smart Vicki is.
04:52Vicki, if you get it right, you get the 70 points.
04:55If you miss it, the 70 points go to Wendy.
04:57For 70 points in Fahrenheit, what is the boiling point of water?
05:01212 degrees.
05:02Right you are.
05:03Good for you.
05:05You get the 70 points, Williams.
05:10You now have 170 points.
05:12So let's check the score.
05:14Samuels 130, Williams 170, and it's Dennis against Bernard.
05:18We've got a close game here.
05:20Gentlemen, because they thought their partner was too hung up on his mother and on sexuality,
05:26Carl Jung and Alfred Adler split with him.
05:30What percentage of the people surveyed could name the partner?
05:33What percentage of those people could name the partner?
05:37Interesting guy.
05:39Bernard is a guy that takes psychology.
05:42It's going to be kind of weird to watch what he does.
05:44Bernard, what did you say?
05:45What percent could name the gentleman they spoke with?
05:47I think a lot of people know that.
05:49I went with 82 percent.
05:5282 percent.
05:53Okay.
05:54What did you say, Dennis?
05:55I think a lot of people will know that, but I think it's going to be somewhat lower.
05:58I said 72 percent.
05:59You said 72 percent.
06:01Okay.
06:02You said 82 percent.
06:03You said 72 percent.
06:05Anybody hits it right on the nose gets $12,000.
06:08What percent knew the name of the partner?
06:1071 percent!
06:12You get those 71 points.
06:19You now have a total of 241 points and a possibility of winning the game.
06:25This is the second time you have come within one point of winning our jackpot.
06:30So you came just that close this time to $12,000.
06:33Boy, just a little more over the edge and you'd have it.
06:35Okay.
06:36You got the points.
06:37Now, if 71 percent knew the answer, that means that 29 percent did not know the answer.
06:41For those 29 points, tell me, the gentleman that Alfred Adler and Carl Young split from,
06:46or if you want, you can challenge Bernard the Psychologist over there.
06:49How do you want to play it?
06:50Absolutely not.
06:52For 29 points, who do they split from?
06:55Freud.
06:56Freud is right.
06:57Good for you.
07:02Okay.
07:03You get the 29 points.
07:04Williams have a total now of 270 points.
07:07Whoop!
07:08A tip to points.
07:09150 for Samuels, 270 for Williams.
07:11We'll take a break, and we'll be right back.
07:13Whoop!
07:14Whoop!
07:15Whoop!
07:16Whoop!
07:17Whoop!
07:18Whoop!
07:19Whoop!
07:20Whoop!
07:21Whoop!
07:22Whoop!
07:23Whoop!
07:24Whoop!
07:25Whoop!
07:26Whoop!
07:27Jay Stewart.
07:28If any couple wins five games in a row, what will they get which will make them go ooh-ah?
07:32It's a brand new car!
07:34Whoop!
07:35Whoop!
07:36Whoop!
07:37Whoop!
07:38Whoop!
07:39Whoop!
07:40The sensational, clean lines, newly designed grill, and the right size for moving in city traffic.
07:45Furnished by Pontiac.
07:47Okay, Jeff Edwards.
07:52Alright.
07:53Let's check the score.
07:55Samuels, 130.
07:57And Williams, 270.
07:59Remember, 300 wins a game, so Dennis and Vicki are only 30 points away from retaining your championship.
08:05And this time, it is Wendy against Vicki.
08:08Here we go, ladies.
08:09Only three American states have been named for famous women.
08:13Two of them are Virginia and West Virginia.
08:16Of the people surveyed, what percentage could name the third state?
08:21What percentage could name that third state that is named after a woman?
08:26How fast can you go through 50 states?
08:29Okay.
08:30We're all locked in.
08:31Wendy, what'd you say?
08:3241%.
08:33I think 41%.
08:34Yes.
08:35Okay.
08:36And Vicki, how about you?
08:37I said 41%.
08:38You both said 41%.
08:39You're kidding.
08:40Oh, what fun we're having here.
08:41That's fun.
08:42When we have a tie, I'll tell you what we do.
08:44We're going to ask you to clear what you have put in there, the 41's.
08:47Yes.
08:48You can enter 41 again if you want to, or you can change your mind.
08:51Either way you want to do it is fine with me.
08:53This is the way we break the tie.
08:54So go ahead and enter your percentages again, please.
08:57And lock them in.
08:58They are locked in.
08:59Wendy, what'd you say?
09:00Big change to 40.
09:01You changed to 40%.
09:03Vicki, what did you do?
09:04I went a little lower.
09:05I said 37.
09:06You said 37%.
09:07Yes.
09:08Okay.
09:09Remember, you guys only need 30 points to win the game.
09:11And you can win it right here.
09:12Let's see what happened.
09:13How many people could tell us the name of the state named after a woman?
09:17The third one.
09:1836%.
09:19Vicki, you got it.
09:20Vicki, you got it.
09:21Vicki, you got it.
09:22You really got it.
09:23Vicki, you got it.
09:24You got it.
09:25I got it.
09:26I missed you.
09:27I missed you.
09:28I missed you.
09:29I missed you.
09:30You won the game.
09:31Again, you were one point off, missing it right on the nose for that $12,000.
09:35Boy, you guys are so close.
09:36I know you're going to get it up here one of these times.
09:39At any rate, you're still with us because you're going to go down and play the bonus round
09:42worth $2,500 in just a moment.
09:44Hang on tight.
09:45I want to say goodbye to Wendy and Bernard.
09:47Listen, it's been really wonderful having you here on the show.
09:49Do you know which state that was named after the other state named after the woman?
09:52I don't know.
09:53Do you know?
09:54I thought it might be Georgia, but it's a girl's name.
09:55Sure, it's a girl's name.
09:56It was Maryland, as a matter of fact, named after somebody named Mary, I suppose.
10:00Okay.
10:01Wendy and Bernard, thank you so much.
10:02We have nice gifts for you backstage.
10:04Thanks for being with us.
10:05Congratulations.
10:06Bye-bye to Bernard and Wendy.
10:08Give me a big hand for them.
10:09And now, Dennis and Vicki, meet me down there.
10:11We'll go for $2,500.
10:20All righty.
10:21How do you feel so far?
10:23Wonderful.
10:24It feels very natural to be here.
10:25Wonderful, yeah.
10:26Does it feel natural to be here?
10:27I think we ought to stay.
10:28Well, all right.
10:29Let's see.
10:30You're going to stay for a while, anyway.
10:31First of all, let me tell you about your winning so far.
10:33$3,100 in cash, right?
10:36All right.
10:37Now, we're going to play the bonus round, and I'll tell you once again how it works.
10:40I'm going to read you questions which were posed to people everywhere.
10:43I will show you three possible answers for each question, and you'll have to make decisions
10:48about those answers.
10:49Make the right decisions, and you win points.
10:51Reach 100 points, and I'll give you $2,500.
10:55Who's going to go first?
10:56Let's go with the winning combination.
10:58Vicki.
10:59All right, Vicki.
11:00We started first last time.
11:01We did all right last time.
11:02Let's see how well you do this time.
11:03Here's your question.
11:04A wife would...
11:07I probably should have learned how to pronounce this before I tried to read it.
11:11A wife would probably be upset if her husband had been seen around town with an ecdiziest.
11:17Is that correct, Judge?
11:19Ecdiziest.
11:20Ecdiziest.
11:22That's our Eric Von Judge over there.
11:25Did the 100 people we surveyed believe an ecdiziest is a dance hostess, a stripper, or a nudist?
11:33Now, before we go on, two of those people were named by the people and got responses.
11:38One was not and scored zero points.
11:40Select the one that was named, and I'll give you whatever percentage it got.
11:43But if you hit the one with the zero, you go bust, and the bonus round is over.
11:47So good luck to you.
11:48Of those three, a dance hostess, a stripper, and a nudist, which one did the people think was an ecdiziest?
11:53Do you have any idea?
11:54I think the stripper will be zero.
11:56Take another one.
11:57A little louder so that I can hear what you're saying.
11:59I think the stripper is going to be zero, leave the stripper alone.
12:01Well, I guess we're going to go with the dance hostess first.
12:04You're going to go with the dance hostess.
12:06Okay.
12:07How many points did the dance hostess get?
12:09Zero!
12:10Oh!
12:11Too bad you went bust right away.
12:14What a shame.
12:15That's terrible.
12:16And Dennis, you are trying to stay away from the one that an ecdiziest is because a stripper is an ecdiziest.
12:21That got 39% response.
12:23And how much did the nudist get?
12:25Nudist got 5%.
12:26So we've kind of come to a quick halt here in the bonus round, but that's what happens sometimes.
12:31So let's see.
12:32So far, as I said, you have $3,100.
12:34Not bad.
12:35Next time down here, maybe you'll do a little bit better.
12:37Okay?
12:38After all, you used to be a minister.
12:39You're not supposed to know what an ecdiziest is, are you?
12:41Of course not.
12:42Okay.
12:43Dennis and Vicki are gonna meet a new couple, and when they meet the new couple, we will
12:47once again increase the jackpot by $1,000, and you will have a chance at $13,000 right
12:52after these words.
12:55And all right.
12:58And now, let's hear the strategies.
13:07Right.
13:08Percentages, Vicki and Dennis, you're our champions.
13:10You have $3,100.
13:11We have raised the jackpot to $13,000.
13:14And now let's meet your challenges.
13:16Jay?
13:17She is a teacher, and her name is Gail.
13:20He believes in ESP, and his name is John.
13:23And the married name they share is Vern.
13:32Hi, Gail. How you doing?
13:33I'm doing fine now.
13:34Fine now?
13:35I think so.
13:36Nervous backstage, but fine up here, huh?
13:38Yes, that's right. My knees are still going a little bit.
13:40Oh, nothing to be worried about up here.
13:41What do you teach?
13:42Well, I'm working with handicapped students
13:44in a new mainstreaming project right now, secondary.
13:46Good for you.
13:47I'm 9 to 12.
13:48Okay. And John, you believe in ESP?
13:50I've been known to.
13:51I knew you were going to say that.
13:53Well, at any rate, John, ESP can help you out in this show, as you know.
13:57So I'm going to wish you good luck, John and Gail.
13:59Good work.
14:00And you've seen our champions, Dennis and Vicki.
14:02You know how they performed. They're pretty good.
14:03Very good.
14:04So you've got your work cut out for you.
14:05We're going to start off with the ladies this time.
14:07You all ready?
14:08Mm-hmm.
14:09Gail? Vicki? Here we go.
14:10First question.
14:11It's a violent reflex action of the body.
14:14It can travel as fast as 100 miles per hour.
14:17You cannot keep your eyes open while you're doing it.
14:20What percentage of the 300 people we polled could tell us what it is?
14:24Okay.
14:25Once the percentages are locked in, you know they can't change.
14:27300 wins the game.
14:29Anybody hits it right on the nose, they get themselves $13,000 today,
14:33besides winning the game.
14:34Gail's all locked in.
14:35Vicki's locked in.
14:36Gail, what do you say?
14:37What percentage of people could tell us what it is you can't do keeping your eyes open?
14:41I clicked right in the middle, about 54%.
14:4454%.
14:45Okay, fine.
14:46What did you say, Vicki?
14:47Well, I went just a little bit higher.
14:49Uh-huh.
14:50I said 68%.
14:5168%.
14:52Right.
14:53All right.
14:54You say 54%, you say 68%.
14:56What percentage of the people knew what it was that traveled that fast?
14:5958% Gail.
15:00You're the close one.
15:01Good Gail.
15:02Good Gail.
15:03Good Gail.
15:04You get those 58 points.
15:07Okay, you have 58 points.
15:09Now, if 58% of the people knew the answer, that means, of course, that 42% did not know
15:14the answer.
15:15You can get those 42 points by telling me yourself what can travel as fast as 100 miles an hour
15:20as a violent reflex action of the body, or you can challenge Vicki over there, who will
15:24not look at you, I can see.
15:26She's afraid of your ESP.
15:27Yes, I think that she knows what it is.
15:29I believe that I'll take it.
15:30You want to take it?
15:31Yes.
15:32Okay.
15:33For 42 points, what is it we're talking about?
15:34Sneezing.
15:35Sneeze is right.
15:3642 points.
15:37You now have a penalty.
15:39100.
15:40You thought it was either sneezing or throwing up.
15:44I close my eyes.
15:48Yeah.
15:49I do too, no matter who's doing it.
15:51Okay.
15:52Let's check the score.
15:53Burns, you have 100.
15:54Our champions, Williams, nothing yet.
15:56We'll see how it goes now when ESP John goes against Dennis.
15:59Oh, okay.
16:00Gentlemen, what percentage of the people we polled could identify the lady who was known
16:04as the sex kitten?
16:06The sex kitten.
16:07We talked to a bunch of people.
16:08We asked them to identify that lady.
16:10What percent?
16:11You're looking at me in disbelief, Dennis.
16:12What percent do you think could identify that lady?
16:15Lock in the percentages.
16:17John's locked in.
16:18Dennis is in.
16:19John, what'd you say?
16:20I didn't think that very many people knew that.
16:22I picked 23%.
16:2323%.
16:24Okay.
16:25John, what do you say, Dennis?
16:27I also feel that not too many people knew it, but I did go higher and I did say 38.
16:32You said 38%.
16:3338%.
16:34Okay.
16:35John says 23%.
16:36Dennis says 38%.
16:37How many people could identify the sex kitten?
16:4030%.
16:41John, you're the person.
16:42You got it.
16:43That's another 30 points for you, which gives you a grand total right now of 130 points.
16:57Now, John, important to you, if 30% knew the answer, 70% did not know the answer as to
17:03who the sex kitten was and you can get those 70 points by telling me yourself who she was
17:08or you can challenge Dennis over here.
17:10Do you think he knows the answer to that or what?
17:12Did you say sex kitten or sex kid?
17:14I said sex kitten.
17:16Okay.
17:17I'll try that.
17:18You're going to...
17:19Yes, indeed.
17:20I would too.
17:21Okay, John, for 70 points, what is the name of the sex kitten?
17:24A raging guess, Ann Margaret.
17:26No.
17:27Sorry.
17:28You're wrong.
17:29And you have a chance, Dennis, to pick up 70 points if you can tell me the name of the
17:32who was a sex kitten.
17:33Marilyn Monroe.
17:34No.
17:35I know.
17:36No.
17:37She was a full grown tiger, my man.
17:39Audience, audience, who was a sex kitten?
17:46Brigitte Bardot.
17:47Brigitte Bardot was known as a sex kitten.
17:50Absolutely.
17:51Okay, let's check the score.
17:53Burns is 130.
17:54Our champions, Williams, still nothing.
17:56You got your work cut out for you here, Vicki.
17:58It's you against Gail.
17:59Let's get 100 points.
18:00Of the people we polled, ladies, what percentage could name the southernmost American state?
18:06The southernmost American state.
18:09Did all of us have been in the south?
18:11I wonder which of us know the answer to that.
18:13Are you locked in?
18:14I didn't see it.
18:15I am.
18:16You're all set.
18:17And Gail is just locking herself in there.
18:18Okay, Gail, you're locked in.
18:20What percentage do you think could name the southernmost American state?
18:23I think people would get confused, because I am.
18:2621%.
18:2721%, you say.
18:28And what did you say, Vicki?
18:30I went a lot higher.
18:31I said 73%.
18:32You thought about 73% would know the answer to that.
18:34Yes.
18:35What percentage of the people could name the southernmost American state?
18:3823%.
18:39Good point, Gail.
18:40Can you get the 23 points?
18:42Oh, yeah.
18:43I was going to put that one.
18:45And Gail jumped about two feet, because she was only two points away from that $13,000
18:50of hitting it on the nose.
18:51Boy, that was so close.
18:52Yes.
18:53Okay, you get the 23 points.
18:54You have a total now of 153 points.
18:57Now, if 23% knew the answer, that means that 77% did not know the answer.
19:03You can get those 77 points by telling me the southernmost American state, or you can
19:08try to pick up some extra points by challenging Vicki.
19:10How do you want to play it?
19:12I don't know what you're drawing, but it's interesting to me.
19:21What do you want to do?
19:22You want to challenge or you want to take it?
19:23I'm going to take it.
19:24You're going to take it.
19:25For 77 points, what is the southernmost American state?
19:28I believe it's Louisiana.
19:30No.
19:31Sorry, Gail.
19:32Hang on.
19:33You've got a chance, Vicki, to get yourself on the board.
19:36For 77 points, name the southernmost American state.
19:39Well, I can only think of when I've been there, and that's Florida.
19:42No.
19:43No.
19:44No.
19:45I said Texas.
19:46I know you're surprised.
19:47It is Hawaii.
19:48Hawaii is the southernmost American state.
19:50Yeah, I was thinking back in the middle of the United States.
19:52Hawaii.
19:53Okay, we'll check the score.
19:55Burns 153.
19:56Our challenger's nothing.
19:58We'll take a break, and we'll be right back.

20:37I was crushed.
20:38Were you crushed?
20:39Yes.
20:40But you have zero points.
20:41You're right.
20:42We shall change that.
20:43You shall change that.
20:44Okay.
20:45You're not going to change it now, though, because we're flat out of time, so we're going
20:52to kind of leave the game right where it is.
20:54You can go back and look at your geography book and learn about the southernmost state.
20:59We'll see you on the next show.
