Tosser’s Late night quiz

Add the miles

 Bolton 4 miles
Widnes 12 miles
Formby 23 miles

After an hour and a half, we’re told it’s a two digit number.

Poor Richard in Dublin. It wasn’t 63.

Oh no! It’s gone down from £10,000 to £5,000

(we only have ourselves to blame, for not getting it sooner)

Poor Sarah! It’s not 58! …but it’s higher… and the music is getting more urgent…

Poor Peter! It’s higher than 81!

Higher than 87!!

Don’t just guess it… think about it…

Bolton… 4 miles…

Widnes… 12 miles…

Formby… 23 miles…

The Presenter does not know the answer…

Is it 90?

It’s higher than 90. The answer is between 90 and 99….

IT CAN ONLY BE ONE OF NINE DIGITS!!!

This is getting big….

Hello Peter…

Is it 99??

It’s not 99…

It’s one of eight numbers.

0901 326 1122

Add the miles

Bolton 4 miles

Widnes 12 miles

Formby 23 miles

Eight possible answers.

It’s not 98.

Apparently, the presenter was genuinely told the answer, but now he’s forgotten it. He repeats his sincerity, therefore it becomes more credible.

Down to seven numbers, but there is only one possible answer.

Is it 93????? No.

Oh Christ there’s a clock ticking now….. nor is it 92!!!

One of four answers!!!

If I were you, I’d get on the phone now!!!

0901 326 1122

0901 326 1122

Five thousand pounds.

The answer is a 2 digit number between 94 and 97 inclusive.

Do you want it?

£5,000???

0901 326 1122

Someone’s going to walk away it that £5,000.

Could it be you??

Keep hitting that redial button!!!!

Hello?

Hello Judith, what are you going to say?

It’s not 96.

Now. There are only 2 possible answers. Between 94 and 95.

0901 326 1122

0901 326 1122!!

Now: if the next caller gets this question wrong, the game’s over (because obviously, there’s only one answer left. and it therefore wouldn’t be fair).

So that £5,000 will be rolled over into the next game.

The host has his fingers crossed for you.

Two minutes on the clock now.

A guaranteed caller in that time.

….

Guaranteed caller in 45 seconds or less…

Who’s it going to be?

You?

For Five

Thousand

Pounds?

Diane in Eastbourne?

What’s your answer?

Make your play!!

….

It’s not 94!!!!!

  

Very sorry.

Next puzzle:

Find the phrase for £5,000:

VEOL
SI
NIDBL

The words are in the right order.

Perhaps I did possess these virtues but if so it was because I was indifferent: I could afford to be good, kind, generous, loyal, and so forth, since I was free of envy Wasn’t that a nice piece of ass to turn over to a friend
