Mandy's Colour of Money

[racingchick1020]

Looks like we'll be starting this game off with the Goldenrod ATM. Do we have a clean transaction?

$7,000

Yes, we do. Not a bad way to start. How much was in there?

$9,000

Absolutely lovely! Not a bad pick. An even $50K left and nine ATMs. Need another color and amount.

Red for $8,000.

[racingchick1020]

We'll be going to the Red ATM next. Simple color, simple amount... Do we have the amount you request?

$8,000

And you got that in your bank. What was in there, anyway?

$17,000

Whoa, boy. There's a big amount off of the board. You still have plenty of those big amounts, but your average is down a bit and you have eight ATMs left. Let's pick your third ATM.

$12000 for Electric Blue.

[racingchick1020]

Going to the Electric Blue ATM now. I kind of like this color. Do we like the transaction as well?

$12,000

Oh, no! Not what we wanted. How much was in there?

$10,000

Okay, hope is not lost. You still have seven ATMs left. Let's pick another one right now.

You have 24 hours from now to pick another ATM, or I'm going to stop the game.

[Morg889]

I'll play next if there's no one else.

[racingchick1020]

I'll play next if there's no one else.

Okay. Since this is a favorite colors game, I'll ask you for your 20 favorite colors now. You can use Wikipedia if you need help.

[TheNewNeko]

Mandy, Morgan needs your help on my don't forget the lyrics game.

[racingchick1020]

Okay, I'm sorry. You haven't replied to this thread in the 24 hours (and I've seen you on here posting elsewhere), so this game is over. You'll get $500 for each ATM you picked correctly - and you picked two ATMs correctly - so you'll get $1,000 and our thanks for playing.

Here were the other amounts.

$2,000
$4,000

I'll be setting up for morg's game next.

[racingchick1020]

Morg, welcome to the show. Before we begin, we're going to find out what your target amount is.

I have three envelopes for you. In each envelope is a cash value, somewhere between $50,000 and $85,000. (I used random.org so there's no controversy about what's inside each envelope.) The amount in the envelope that you pick is going to be your target amount.

Envelope 1 | Envelope 2 | Envelope 3

Please make your choice in the next 24-48 hours.

[Morg889]

Envelope 3

[racingchick1020]

Here are the amounts in each envelope. Your envelope is in green.

$83,000 | $80,000 | $68,000

Not a bad amount, compared to the other values. Now we need some ATMs... Remember these colors?

Plum
American Rose
Boston University Red
Cotton Candy
Dark Magenta
Dark Raspberry
Duke Blue
Forest Green
Fuchsia
Gold
Hollywood Cerise
Pumpkin
Lavender Indigo
Maroon
Persian Rose
Tangelo
Tickle Me Pink
True Blue
Twilight Lavender
School Bus Yellow

These are your selected colors. Here's what happens with these: You pick an ATM. If the ATM has the amount that you want, you get that added to the bank. You need the exact amount ($68,000) in order to win. You can't go over or under. For every clean transaction you make - an exact amount - you'll get $1,000. Ready? Pick your first ATM and amount.

[Morg889]

Let's try... Persian rose for 5000

[racingchick1020]

Starting conservative? Okay, good strategy. Going to the Persian Rose ATM first, and looking for a successful transaction. Do we have the first good ATM of the game?

$5,000

Of course we do. How much was in there?

$10,000

That's okay. You still have that amount in your bank. Nine ATMs left and plenty of big amounts left. Choose your next ATM.
