Mystery Round: Quotation
We begin with three straight Bankrupts: Michelle and Jake both hit the one between $900 and $650, while Melanie loses her Million Dollar Wedge to the one between $900 and $3,500.
Michelle then calls T on $900 and buys E. She picks up the ½ Car between $650 and $900 with H, then buys A. After getting the Mrs. Prindable's gift tag with R, she buys O to finish off the vowels. Her next picks are N, S, M, and K on Free Play, $3500, $550, and the Central America trip. She then stops at the Mystery Wedge between $700 and $800 for a D, and does not flip the wedge (the Bankrupt was on the back)… but her next stop is the Bankrupt between $900 and $650.
Jake picks B and F on $650 and $800, then Bankrupts between $900 and $3,500. Melanie finishes with G on $600.
