This was my dad's episode! I haven't seen any of the puzzles anywhere (nor have I been able to find any video) so I wanted to add them! The video I have is super old and won't upload for me with the software I have, unfortunately  This taped December 18, 1987, and I got my letter the day before that 31 years later! This recap won't be nearly as awesome as yours are, but I'll try my best! RED-Dan, New York City, AccountantYELLOW: Larry (my dad), Chicago, In-flight audio

I apologize! I am still getting used to this site and should have thought to put it there. I saw other old puzzles in this section so I just assumed I should put it here. If you let me know how to move it, I'd be happy to!
Yeah, your recap is way better haha. I love the giant W H E E L at the end of it!

Thanks for the recap! Out of curiosity what the prize added the wheel in Round 2 & how much was it worth? We already know that the Round 4 Prize was a trip to Egypt & if I was able to figure out correctly from subtracting from overall total from both rounds the Trip to Egypt was worth $8,352.

Thank you, and thank you for moving this to the right place!! The R2 prize was a hand-carved gold bracelet, worth $4,575. My dad had picked it up in R2 but he didn't end up solving the puzzle. |

It's fun to see a recap from a contestant or family member! I think this is only the first time we've had this for either the daytime or nighttime show.

And the other four bonus round prizes were: a trip around Europe (worth around $40,000), a Toyota (worth $28,000), a motor home (worth $50,000), a diamond and sapphire set of earrings (worth $39,000?!), and the $25,000 cash, which is what he chose. |
