It's for the That's Life! $50,000 Wheel of Fortune Watch, Scratch & Win Competition. I watched it but it came up so quick that i couldn't get the word properly. I remeber it being a Green wedge, but I can't remember the word, eat i think. Could any help me out?

Hmm, it's out of context, so the first sentence can take a different meaning, and the second doesn't make much sense (I'm guessing it says "como" instead of "com") but here's what I understand:\n\nDeclare as a gift state the value of US$49.00.\n\ndeclare as a used object.\n\nBig hugs, see you soon.

This is a totally slang phrase. Everything about it, apart from 'the',  is slang!\n\nI'm sorry, but I can't help you much. I don't know where, when or why these words were twisted into this meaning, and I can't find out online either. So I'll just tell you what I DO know!\n\nCase, in this context =\nTo examine carefully, as in planning a crime: "cased the bank before robbing it."\n\nJoint in this context =\na. A cheap or disreputable gathering place: “The tavern is... just a joint with Formica tables, a vinyl floor, lights over the mirrors” (Scott Turow).\nor\nb. A building or dwelling.\n(Although my dictionary says 'a place for meeting, eating, etc.)

One of the four contestants tells three true statements, one of them two, one of them one, and one of them none.\n\nLet's start by seeing what happens if all of Ada's statements are true.  That means the order is either ?AC? or ?A?C, plus Ada and Cat trained together.  This means none of Bebe's statements are true, and only one of Dingo's is true (the 1st one).  Therefore two of Cat's must be true.  Her 2nd is obviously false, and her 3rd is obviously true, which means her 1st is true -- and Bebe is the winner.  (The final order is either BADC or BACD.)\n\nNow, let's try something else: what if Bebe's statements are all true?  That's not possible, because that means both Ada and Dingo told exactly one true statement (Ada's first statement, and Dingo's second statement).\n\nWhat if Cat's statements are all true?  Then the order is BA??, Ada tells two truths (her first two statements), Bebe none, and Dingo one truth (his first statement).  Bebe still wins the competition, with the order either BACD or BADC.\n\nWhat if Dingo's statements are all true?  Not possible.  None of Cat's statements are true, and only one of Bebe's is true (the second one), but there's no way two of Ada's can be true because her 2nd and 3rd are both false.\n\nSo, either Cat or Ada told all truths, but either way, Bebe won the javelin throw.\n\nHope that made sense!

What makes it seem wierd are the words on the side "What do Shoppers Want". It reminds me of Martin Luther Kings  I have a Dream speech. With the white people between the ladies. Its like theirs a hidden message there. But who knows?

You're telling it wrong. This is how it should go.\n\n"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is." \n \nAnd the answer is Language. "The English Language."

In this case, the answer is the third word in the phrase "the English language", i.e. "language"! The part about "angry and hungry" turns out to be a red herring. (from COPYEDITING-L list and the rec.puzzles Usenet newsgroup's FAQ) People who don't know the trick to this puzzle, by changing the wording when they pass the question along, have mangled the question until there is no real answer! \n\nThere is no answer. \nThe puzzle is WRONG. "It's a fraud, it's a fake," says Will Shortz, who is the puzzle editor of the New York Times and the host of a puzzle segment on National Public Radio's Weekend Edition (NPR, 11/10/96). The actual truth is that \nNO other common English word ends in -gry! It's a trick question -- and the trick, at least in some versions, has been lost. Word-puzzle fans and reference librarians have been trying for years to track the question's history to find the original answer. But to do that we need to know what the original question was. And there are several different versions in circulation purporting to be the original.

Overall, this is good, an apt description of a courtroom scene.  \n\nSome suggestions I would make:\n\n1) Your verb tenses are all over the place - past, present, etc.  You are describing what happened 3 days ago, so it should all be past tense - Suddenly Ralph [rose/got up/stood angrily] and [screamed/accused], "You're such a liar!"  - for example.\n"Flew" is the past tense of "fly."\n\n2) Did Ralph attack Jack or not?  The first paragraph says yes, the second paragraph says no, "almost."\n\n3) The courtroom did not start out a hush, it started out a courtroom.  It could have started out IN or WITH a hush, but a better way to put it might be "All voices were low and hushed as the court proceedings began.  Soon the murder trial started.  Jack seemed to be making very opinionated/wild/outlandish statements." ["incredible" is your opinion - are you supposed to be neutral?]\n\nA good start!  Good luck!

It is a kind of "Grammar contest", in which the best students in each school participate.\n\nBy the way, it appeared in The Simpsons once.

Three men rent a room for $30.00. ($10.00 each)  When they got to the room there was no heat.  They called the man at the front desk who sent up a $5.00 refund.  They couldn't evenly split the five so they each took a dollar and gave the bellhop a $2.00 tip. Now the three men ended up paying $9.00 each because they all took a dollar back from the five. (9 x 3 = 27) Plus the $2.00 tip to the bellhop. (27 + 2 = 29)  What happened to the last dollar?\nI LIKE THIS ONE TOO !!

Unfortunately, this is too late for you. You can go to the website below to see who won the gas cards that day.\n\nIn the future, I'd just go to www.wpxi.com and look for a link to the contest. My guess is that it will be on the front page on a day the contest is running.\n\nGood luck!

Hmm, interesting question, actually, and a practical application of math.  Hey, all you folks who ask what this stuff is good for, here is a real-life situation where you can use it!\n\nGetting to the problem.  Obviously, the contestant to go last spins again if his score is lower than the best score.  If tied, there is a spin-off where his winning chance is 50%; so, if there is a tie, he should respin if he has 45 or less (giving him at least 11 out of 20 good numbers), not spin if he has 55 or more (giving him at most 9 out of 20 good numbers - better to go to the spin-off, where he has a 50% chance), while 50 is a "push".   \n\nNow, for the contestant to go 2nd to last: First, let's assume the first player busts (of course, the second player respins if his score is lower than the first player), which essentially makes this a two-player game.  Based on what number the second player stops on, this is the winnning percentage I calculate for the last player:\n\n100 - 4.875%\n95 - 14.375%\n90 - 23.375%\n85 - 31.875%\n80 - 39.875%\n75 - 47.375%\n70 - 54.375%\n65 - 60.875%  \n60 - 66.875%\n55 - 72.375%\n50 - 77.375%\n\nSo, you may think the second player should respin whenever his odds are under 50%, but that is actually incorrect.  For example, if the second player has 70, giving him a 45.625% chance of winning, respinning would give him a 70% chance of going bust - he is better off stopping with the 45.625% chance.  To determine whether or not respinning improves the second player's chances, a second calculation is needed that considers each of the 20 scores after the second spin - some of them bust the player but the others improve his chance of winning.  Based on that, here is a new table, giving the last player's chance of winning if the second player respins with the score given:   \n\n95 - 95.24375%\n90 - 90.9625%\n85 - 87.13125%\n80 - 83.725%\n75 - 80.71875%\n70 - 78.0875%\n65 - 75.80625%  \n60 - 73.85%\n55 - 72.19375%\n50 - 70.3125%\n45 - 69.68125%\n\nSo, comparing the two tables, the critical points are 55 and 60.  If the second player has 60, he should stop - the last player's chance of winning improves if the second player spins.  At 55, however, the second player should spin, improving his odds by about 0.2%.\n\n\nMoving on to the three player game... now it gets really messy.  The player to go first needs a score that can beat the other two players.  Does he stop on 55 again, hoping the other two players both bust?  He'll need a better score than that to have a 50% chance of winning, but, as was noted in the two-player analysis, stopping with a 30% chance can be better than making a second spin.  As for how to do a complete analysis, uh, beats me.  This may require a computer to do all the math.\n\n* * * * * *\n\nThinking about the three-player game, maybe it isn't as messy as I initially thought - the only additional consideration for the first player, as opposed to the second player, is that either player will stop if the first player's score is beaten.  This can be calculated from the first table.  For this table, listed is the chance of the first player losing (i.e. either player beats him) if he stands on the score given:\n\n100 - 9.51% \n95 - 26.68%\n90 - 41.29%\n85 - 53.59%\n80 - 63.85%\n75 - 72.31%\n70 - 79.18%\n65 - 84.69%\n\nSimilar to the two-player game, I can now calculate the odds if the first player decides to respin.  Since I’m getting a little tired crunching these numbers, for this last table I’ll only list the critical ones:\n\n70 - 83.4%\n65 - 82.3%\n\nIn other words, the first contestant should respin on 65, stop on 70.\n\nIn conclusion, I think the optimum strategies are.....\n\nFirst player: spin on 65, stop on 70\n\nSecond player: spin on 55, stop on 60 (assuming his score at least matches the first player)

I am not familiar with that piece of literature, but it suggests to me that the character had to figure out how to solve a problem, but only had a minute and a half to do so before some disaster happens.  I would have to see it in context to help you better.  Also, the word should be "lasts," not "last."

Don't you think if someone knew they had the winning piece, they would go and buy as many food items it would take to get the three you have AS THEY ARE PLENTIFUL?  Good try.  "Hey stranger online, want a million dollars because you ate a McDonald's, saved the game pieces, and posted an ad online?"  Where's the benefit?   And God doesn't need money.    Sheeesh.....some people's kids.....

Zao an!\n\nWell, usually, we just say he/they finished 3d. However, in horse racing, they say win (1st), place (2d), and show (3d).
