00:00During the next 30 minutes,
00:03intuition could win our players $34,000 in cash
00:08because...
00:12It's time to challenge everybody's knowledge.
00:14It's time to play the percentages.
00:18And here's our host, Jeff Edmonds.
00:22Thank you for the nice quiz, nice to have you here today.
00:30And Jay Stewart is right.
00:31During this program, someone here can win at least $34,000.
00:36Well, we hope it happens today.
00:37And all of you out there are gonna be challenged
00:39by what's gonna happen here.
00:40Let's meet our current champions.
00:41Jay, you want to introduce them, please?
00:43Our current champions, she's a teacher,
00:45and her name is Barbara.
00:46He's a stockbroker, and his name is Edward.
00:49And the married name they share is Gold.
00:58Barbara, how you doing today, all right?
00:59A little nervous, but fine.
01:01You've got a great sparkle in your eyes.
01:02I'd like to see that.
01:04Edward?
01:05Yes?
01:06It's weird to have a stockbroker named Gold.
01:11Just kind of thinking about that,
01:12you realize how much these teeth back here are worth today?
01:14Incredible.
01:15Me too, I'm loaded.
01:16You have it too, huh?
01:17Oh, yeah.
01:18Yesterday, when we ended our show,
01:20you were in an interesting position.
01:22We were in the middle of our bonus game.
01:24You had accumulated 93 points on your way to 100.
01:28Now, this is what I'm gonna do, as we always do.
01:31I'm gonna give you a chance to quit right now,
01:33and I'll pay you $10 a point, or $930.
01:37You can continue to play the bonus game if you want to, though,
01:39because if you reach 100 points,
01:41then I'll pay you $2,500.
01:45So you got a choice, because you have to remember,
01:47you can go bust and lose those 93 points.
01:49So what do you want to do?
01:51Edward and Barbara, you want to quit with $930?
01:52Or do you want to continue playing?
01:54Go for the ticket.
01:54We're gonna go.
01:55You're gonna go?
01:56We're feeling lucky.
01:56You're feeling lucky.
01:57Meet me down at the bonus round.
01:59Here we go.
02:00All righty, you had answered two questions.
02:10Yes.
02:11You've done very well up to that point.
02:14As you know, if you ever hit anything with a zero,
02:16you're out of business.
02:17So you got something to work with here.
02:19You have 93 points.
02:20I should explain, for those of you just joining us,
02:23our show's been only been on the air a couple of weeks,
02:24in case you're just joining us.
02:25For this bonus, I read questions which were posed to people everywhere,
02:29and for each question, I show you three possible answers
02:31about which you have to make decisions.
02:33Make the right decisions, you win points, reach 100 points,
02:36and I give you $2,500.
02:39Okay, they have 93 points or seven points away from that $2,500.
02:43And Barbara, it's your turn.
02:45You all set?
02:45I'm set.
02:46This is your question.
02:48In which country of the world would you find the highest number
02:52of movie theaters?
02:54Now, did the people surveyed think that the country was Russia,
02:58China, or the United States of America?
03:01Two of these countries were named by the people surveyed.
03:03One was not.
03:04It scored zero.
03:05Select the one that was named, and I'll give you the percentage points.
03:08You only need seven percentage points to make yourself 100.
03:11But if you hit the one with zero, you lose that $930.
03:14Right.
03:15Okay.
03:16So, of these three countries, Russia, China, and USA, which one
03:18do you think the people thought was the one with the most movie theaters?
03:21I think the one with the most movie theaters.
03:23People would say the USA.
03:24I can't hear you, Edward.
03:25People would say the USA.
03:26I agree.
03:27I will say the United States of America.
03:29So, the United States of America, you need seven points for the $2,500.
03:34You know, I'll give you a grand total here in just a moment.
03:54That was a good guess.
03:56Most people did say that.
03:58Actually, the country with the most movie theaters was Russia.
04:0131% of our people thought that it was Russia, and China was the country that got no response
04:06whatsoever.
04:07I'm glad you stayed away from China.
04:08So, Edward and Barbara, at this juncture on Play the Percentages, you have a grand total
04:12of $2,800 in pay.
04:15Now, in just a moment, you're going to meet a challenging couple.
04:24Wish you good luck against them.
04:25Of course, when they come out, I wish them good luck.
04:26I want to be friends to everybody.
04:28But somebody on this show today may win $34,000.
04:32So, you think about that.
04:33We'll be back here in just a moment.
04:36Play the Percentages.
04:40Welcome back to Play the Percentages.
04:54Edward and Barbara, you have $2,800.
04:56You've won one game, kind of a long distance away from you, but win four more games, and
05:01what are they going to win, Jay?
05:02It's a brand-new car!
05:06The new Pontiac Sunbird Coupe is qualified with sensible and sensational clean lines,
05:12newly designed grill, and the right size for moving in city traffic, furnished by Pontiac.
05:17That's it, Jeff.
05:18Thank you, Jay Stewart.
05:20All right, Edward and Barbara, let's meet your challengers.
05:23Jay, who are they?
05:24She's a message therapist, a massage therapist, and her name is Susan.
05:29He's a graduate psychologist.
05:31And his name is Jacob, and the married name they share is Blast.
05:37It is a massage therapist, right, Susan?
05:42Yes.
05:43Okay.
05:44Massage is supposed to relax people, right?
05:46Mm-hmm.
05:47Could you relax me and just say, I'm going to get kind of tense on these shows.
05:49Could you do that?
05:50Well, just right now?
05:51Well, yeah.
05:52Well, unless Jacob minds, you could do it later, but I was thinking about right now.
05:57Well, it would take a little longer than two seconds.
05:59It would, huh?
06:00Yeah.
06:01Okay.
06:02Just a simple yes or no is fine.
06:03Jacob, how are you doing?
06:04I'm fine, thanks.
06:05Yes.
06:06I miss what Jay said that you did for a living.
06:07Well, I'm an administrator with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
06:09Oh, are you?
06:10Terrific.
06:11Well, we're delighted to have you here.
06:12How many children do you have, Jacob?
06:13We have three.
06:14Uh-huh.
06:15And what are their names, Susan?
06:16Amy.
06:17They'll be thrilled.
06:18Okay.
06:19Can't trap you.
06:20Well, they should be thrilled.
06:21I'm glad.
06:22Here.
06:23Good luck to you here on the show.
06:25These two married couples are going to play against each other, the wife against the wife,
06:26the husband against the husband.
06:27This is the way it works.
06:28We've asked hundreds of people questions, and it's up to our players to estimate what percentage
06:30of the people got the questions right, and then the game goes on from there.
06:34First team to reach 300 points gets $300, and then goes on to play the bonus game
06:39worth $2,500.
06:41So, let's get on with the game.
06:43Barbara, you're against Susan, and here's the first question.
06:45Ladies, your husband suggests that he wants to try Around the World and Double Creeper.
06:53What percentage of the 300 people we polled could tell us what he needs?
07:02Probably another one.
07:03I don't know, but we'll find out here.
07:06Let's lock the percentages in.
07:07Once a player locks a percentage in, it cannot be changed.
07:10Are you locked in, Susan?
07:11Yes.
07:12You all set?
07:13Okay.
07:14Barbara, what percentage knew what Around the World and Double Creeper were?
07:17I think that a little more than half knew.
07:20I said 52%.
07:2152%, she says.
07:22What do you say, Susan?
07:23I said 12%.
07:24I didn't think many knew.
07:25Too many would know.
07:26No.
07:27No.
07:28All right.
07:29Now, remember, the player closer to the true percentage wins those points.
07:32If you hit it right on the nose, you win the game.
07:34Then, you also win our growing jackpot, which today, as you know, is $34,000.
07:40So, anybody that hits it on the nose gets $34,000 today.
07:46You said 12%.
07:47You said 52%.
07:49How many people knew what Double Creeper and Around the World were?
07:5253%.
07:53You were so close to $34,000.
08:03Well, you're the closer, so you get those 53 points.
08:07Now, if 53% of the people got it right, that means, of course, 47% did not get it right.
08:13And, Barbara, you can earn those 47 points by answering the question yourself.
08:17Or, if you want, you can challenge Susan over here if you don't think she knows the answer.
08:21The question, of course, is if your husband says he wants to try Around the World and Double Creeper, what is it that he needs?
08:27I'm going to answer it myself.
08:29Okay.
08:30For 53 points, what does he need?
08:31I believe he needs a yo-yo.
08:32Right you are!
08:34Absolutely.
08:35You're welcome.
08:36I'm a yo-yo.
08:37I bet you did.
08:38Are you calling him a yo-yo?
08:39I will.
08:40Maybe.
08:41All right, we add those points to your score.
08:42You now have 100 points.
08:43Good for you.
08:44I've got to ask Susan a question.
08:45Did you know that answer?
08:46Well, not when you asked the question, but then later I realized what it was.
08:48Yeah.
08:49Simple yes or no.
08:50Okay.
08:51Let's check the score.
08:52The Colts have 100.
08:53Blast is nothing yet, but we're early in the game, and now it's Edward against Jacob.
08:55Here we go.
08:56We asked 300 men.
08:57These are grown men.
08:58In the nursery rhyme, hi diddle diddle.
08:59Who ran away with the spoon?
09:00Now, what percentage of the men could tell us who ran away with the spoon?
09:03I guess everybody's heard that nursing rhyme, but when you've got to recall it, sometimes
09:14it gets tough.
09:15Yeah.
09:16These were grown men.
09:17Who ran away with the spoon?
09:19Now, what percentage of the men could tell us who ran away with the spoon?
09:23I guess everybody's heard that nursing rhyme, but when you've got to recall it, sometimes
09:27it gets tough.
09:28Yeah.
09:29These were grown men.
09:30Who ran away with the spoon?
09:32Lock it in, Edward.
09:33Okay.
09:34Edward's locked in.
09:35Edward, what'd you say?
09:36I said 67%.
09:37I think about two-thirds would know that one.
09:4067%.
09:41Okay.
09:42We'll put that up.
09:43Jacob, how about you?
09:44Well, I figured most people would forget, so I said 41%.
09:46You went a little lower.
09:47Mm-hmm.
09:48Okay.
09:49Well, let's find out.
09:50How many people knew, how many men knew, who ran away with the spoon?
09:5327%.
09:5425%.
09:55You're closest.
09:56You get to 25 points.
09:59Okay.
10:00It's a good one.
10:01Congratulations.
10:02You got yourself 25 points.
10:03We'll put that on your score.
10:04Now, if 25% knew the answer, of course, that means 75% did not know the answer.
10:10And you can get those 75 points, Jacob, by telling me who ran away with the spoon.
10:14Or, you can challenge Edward over here.
10:16How do you want to play it?
10:18Well, I have a feeling Edward knows it, since he's such a high percentage.
10:21Mm-hmm.
10:22So, I'm going to take a guess myself.
10:23Okay.
10:24For 75 points, who ran away with the spoon?
10:27Um, I'll have to say the cat.
10:28No.
10:29No.
10:30No.
10:31No.
10:32Not right.
10:33And, Edward, you have a chance to score 75 points.
10:34Who ran away with the spoon?
10:36The dog.
10:37No.
10:38Yeah.
10:39Audience, who ran away with the spoon?
10:41Yeah.
10:42The dish ran away with the spoon.
10:44Right.
10:45And the cow jumped over the moon.
10:46The dish ran away with the spoon.
10:48I was trying to figure out what kind of spoon I have.
10:50Yeah.
10:51The dish ran away with the spoon.
10:52Yeah.
10:53Who ran away with the spoon?
10:54Who ran away with the spoon?
10:55We all have children and nobody knows the right one.
10:56That's right.
10:57That's right.
10:58Okay.
10:59Let's check the score.
11:00Goals with 100.
11:01Blasts with 25.
11:02Barbara, you're against Susan.
11:03Here we go.
11:04Of the people we surveyed, what percentage of them could tell us the number of sides there
11:10are on a stop sign?
11:12The number of sides on a stop sign.
11:15That's, uh, something we see every day, I guess.
11:19What percentage knew the number of sides?
11:21How many really noticed anything but the letters?
11:24Percentages are locked in.
11:26All right, Barbara.
11:27What percentage of people could tell us the number of sides on a stop sign?
11:31I guess a little low this time.
11:3338%.
11:3438%, Barbara says.
11:35That is kind of low.
11:36Well, what do I know?
11:37Susan?
11:38I guessed high.
11:39I guessed 63%.
11:40You guessed 63%.
11:41Okay.
11:42Barbara, you say 38%.
11:44Susan, you say 63%.
11:46Anybody hits it on the nose, they've got $34,000.
11:49How many people could tell us the number of sides?
11:52Huh?
11:5362%.
11:54Wow!
11:55You were wonderful.
11:56Wonderful.
11:57Wonderful.
12:02But you were the closest, and so you get those 63 points.
12:06Whew!
12:07You shook me up there for a second, Jacob.
12:08You were yelling, come on, 63, right?
12:10Yeah.
12:11All right.
12:12That's up to the rest of it.
12:13There.
12:14What's that voice?
12:15All right.
12:16You get those 63 points.
12:17We add it to your score.
12:18You now have a total of 87 points.
12:21Oh, 62.
12:22I'm sorry.
12:23And you have a total of 87 points.
12:24Now, if 62% knew the answer, 38% did not know the answer, you can get those 38 points
12:29by telling me the number of sides on a stop sign, Susan.
12:33Or you can challenge Barbara over there.
12:35How do you want to play it?
12:36Remember, if she gets it right, she gets the points.
12:38I think Barbara knows.
12:39You do?
12:40I think she can visualize it and count the sides.
12:42Mm-hmm.
12:43So I'm going to take it.
12:44All right.
12:45For 38 points, how many sides on a stop sign?
12:48Eight.
12:49Eight is right.
12:50Yay!
12:55You get 38 points for a total now of 125.
12:58Okay.
12:59Did you know it?
13:00Mm-hmm.
13:01Yeah.
13:02I goofed.
13:03Yeah.
13:04You didn't have quite the poker face that time.
13:05Let's check the score.
13:06Golds, 100.
13:07Blasts, 125.
13:08Close game.
13:09And Edward, you're against Jacob here.
13:12There was a lady named Gertrude Ederling.
13:14You may remember her.
13:15I hope so.
13:16She put grease on her body.
13:18And she wore very little clothing.
13:20But she managed to do it in 14 hours.
13:23What percentage of the people knew what Gertrude did?
13:28The lady with the grease on the body.
13:32How many knew what Gertrude did and it took her 14 hours to do it?
13:36Okay.
13:37We'll lock the percentages in.
13:40Edward?
13:41Okay.
13:42Edward's locked in.
13:43Edward, what percentage do you think knew the answer to that?
13:45I said 31%.
13:4631%.
13:47Edward says 31%.
13:48Jacob, what did you say?
13:49Well, I guess low again.
13:50I said 17%.
13:5117%.
13:52All right.
13:53That is kind of low.
13:54Remember, the person closer gets those percentage points.
13:56How many people knew, excuse me, 31% there and 17% there.
14:00I want to make sure I get that straight.
14:01How many people knew what Gertrude Ederling did?
14:0480% knew.
14:06You're the closest, though.
14:09Edward, you got yourself 80 more points for a total now of 180 points.
14:16Now, if 80% knew the answer, 20%, of course, did not know the answer.
14:20For those 20 points, you can tell me what Gertrude Ederling did, or you might want to challenge Jacob a way to pick up some more points.
14:28I'm going to, um...
14:31Hmm.
14:32How do you want to play it? Answer it yourself or challenge it?
14:34I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to take the question.
14:36You're going to take the question.
14:37I'm going to take the question.
14:38Okay, for 20 points, what did Gertrude Ederling do with the Grease Center body?
14:40She swam.
14:41Swam.
14:42I'll have to have more than this.
14:44Uh...
14:45She swam the English Channel.
14:47Right you are!
14:48You get the 20 points.
14:49Goals now have 200 points.
14:54You can win next time.
14:57200 for the Goals, 125 for the Blasters.
14:59We'll be back in just a moment.
15:11Welcome back to Play the Percentages.
15:12We got a close game here.
15:13Goals at 200, Blasters 125.
15:15But you guys know how the game works, and that means, Goals, you could win this time.
15:18So it's up to you, Blasters, to do your best.
15:21Here we go.
15:22It's the ladies against each other, Barbara against Susan.
15:24Here's a question.
15:25Dr. Herman Tarnower wrote a popular diet book.
15:28It has a New York Village as part of its title.
15:31What percentage of the people we talked to could name the village?
15:35This is a diet book.
15:36Everybody can talk about that, I'm sure.
15:39Guess what the percentage is?
15:40Once the percentage is registered, it cannot be changed.
15:43300 points wins the game.
15:45Everybody set.
15:46Barbara, what percentage of the people do you think could tell us what the name of the village was?
15:50I'm pretty confident, 78%.
15:5278%, she says.
15:53Okay, we'll register that.
15:54What do you say, Susan?
15:55I said 55%.
15:5655%.
15:57Who's ever closer gets those points.
15:5878%.
15:59Barbara says 78%.
16:00Yeah, 78%.
16:01Susan says 55%.
16:02What percentage of the people could tell us the name of the village?
16:0378%.
16:0478%.
16:05What percentage of the people could tell us the name of the village?
16:0778%.
16:0821%.
16:09Whoa.
16:10You're the closer.
16:11You get the 21 points, Susan.
16:14Okay.
16:15Okay.
16:16Yeah.
16:17Now, Susan, this is important because if 21% knew the answer, that means that 79% did not know the answer and you can get those 79 points by telling me the name of the village or you can challenge Barbara over there who is trying her poker face out now.
16:33What do you think?
16:34Do you think she knows the answer?
16:35Do you want to challenge her?
16:36Or do you want to take it yourself?
16:37Well, I'm going to take it myself because I think Barbara knew because she guessed high.
16:40Uh-huh.
16:41And she's skinny.
16:42So.
16:43So there's two good reasons.
16:44And she's skinny.
16:45Okay.
16:46For 79 points, tell me the name of the village.
16:49Greenwich Village?
16:50No.
16:51Oh.
16:52Sorry.
16:53No points there.
16:54And now, Barbara, let's see if you do know because you have a chance at the 79 points.
16:58For 79 points, what's the village as part of the title of the diet book?
17:01I didn't know there were any other villages in New York.
17:03I'll guess the Alpine Village.
17:05No, not that.
17:08Interestingly enough, if you know about New York, some of the towns are actually legally called villages.
17:13It's the Scarsdale diet.
17:14Oh.
17:15Scarsdale is the village.
17:16I know the name, but I never thought of a village.
17:17Yes.
17:18Yeah.
17:19No point.
17:20I went on one of those diets.
17:21I went on the Manhattan diet.
17:22Okay.
17:23No.
17:24Gentlemen, let's check the score.
17:26Gold's 200.
17:27Blast 146.
17:28Gold's got your work cut out for you here.
17:30Remember, you could win the game.
17:31And Edward, you're against Jacob.
17:33In terms of area, Russia is the largest country in the world.
17:37What percentage of the people we polled could name the second largest country?
17:41Second largest country in the world.
17:43A lot of people should know that, I think.
17:45Well, I shouldn't be saying that because I don't want to give you any idea.
17:49It's just my kind of thought.
17:50Everybody's locked in.
17:51Edward, what percentage do you think could name the second largest country?
17:5447%.
17:55I didn't think too many people would know that.
17:5647%.
17:57Okay.
17:58Jacob, what do you say?
17:59Well, Edward and I keep switching around.
18:00I went real high this time.
18:01I said 82%.
18:02Who's ever closest gets the percentage points.
18:0547% for Edward, 82% for Jacob.
18:07What percent knew the second largest country in the world?
18:1014%.
18:11You're the coach where you get the points, Edward.
18:16Not too many people knew that.
18:19Not too many people knew that.
18:20It's absolutely right.
18:21So, Edward, you now have 214 points.
18:24Now, if 14% knew the answer, that means that 86% did not know the answer.
18:30If you can tell me the name of that country, you win the game right here.
18:34Or you might want to challenge Jacob over there and try to get the points that way.
18:38How do you want to play it?
18:40I'm going to go for the answer.
18:43You're going to go for the answer for the game.
18:45Woo!
18:46Tell me.
18:47The second largest country in the world.
18:49China?
18:50No!
18:51Sorry.
18:52That is wrong.
18:53And we're talking about area.
18:54Jacob, you can get those 86 points if you can tell me.
18:57I'm going to take a long sharp stab on this.
18:59Australia.
19:00No!
19:01It, strangely enough, is Canada.
19:04Canada is the second largest.
19:07We are still sitting at 214 points for the goals.
19:11Blast is 146.
19:12Let's see if you can wrap it up, Barbara and Susan.
19:14Here we go.
19:15This antic professional basketball team holds warm-up drills to the music of Sweet Georgia Brown.
19:20What percentage of the people could name this team?
19:23What percentage of the people could name the team who warms up to Sweet Georgia Brown?
19:27I didn't hear the very first part of the question.
19:29Okay, it's the antic professional basketball team.
19:32Antic?
19:33Oh, yeah.
19:34Antic.
19:35A-N-T-I-C.
19:36It means they go...
19:37Strange things like that.
19:42We're locked in.
19:43Barbara, what percentage do you think could name that basketball team?
19:46I think most people know it.
19:47I said 80%.
19:4880%.
19:49Okay.
19:50What do you say, Susan?
19:51I said 42%.
19:52Say 42%.
19:53Oh.
19:54It's kind of low, the audience thinks.
19:56Whoever gets this could win the game.
19:57Barbara, you could win it for sure.
19:59Let's find out.
20:00How many people could name the basketball team?
20:0293%.
20:03You got it.
20:04You got it.
20:05Once again.
20:06Congratulations, everyone, Barbara.
20:11I have to say goodbye to you, Susan Jacob.
20:15Sorry, you fought a good game, but some of the questions are a little tough.
