Deal or No Deal

Ranked #26,735 in Entertainment, #328,154 overall | Donates to Room to Read

Howie Mandel hosts the popular game show where contestants could walk away with a million dollars.  They don't have to know any trivia.  They don't have to vote anyone off the island.  They just have to answer a simple question:

Deal or No Deal?

Rules of the Game

From the Official Website.

Each night, a contestant is confronted with 26 sealed briefcases full of varying amounts of cash - ranging from a measly penny to $1 million. The contestant picks one -- his to keep, if he chooses - until its unsealing at game's end.

The player must then eliminate the remaining 25 cases - which are opened and the amount of cash inside revealed. The pressure mounts as in each round, after a number of cases are opened, the participant is tempted by "the Banker" to accept an offer of cash in exchange for what might be contained in the chosen briefcase - prompting the all-important question - Deal or No Deal?

As long as the larger cash prizes haven't been opened, the Banker's deals only get higher. And if the conflicted contestant accidentally opens a case with a bigger cash value - the Banker's offer could suddenly evaporate.

Deal or No Deal in Math Class

I posted two entries on my blog about watching DOND in math class. Pay no attention to the comments left by my students. . .

    $50,000 would be fine with me...it's better than the $1 that that one *greedy* guy got a few years ago. The odds of having big money are not with the player, so the best strategy is to get anything that would make life easier and run with that money! Still, I bet it's hard to say that when you are playing...

    Oh gosh, if you had asked me this question a couple of years ago, I might have said something else. Now, I'm really NOT sure what the offer would have to be for me to say give me that case!
