Can you solve this Preview Puzzle?
From Madison Square Garden in New York City, it's America's game! Welcome to Best Friends Week!
The answer to the Preview Puzzle is not "Soup Pipe". It's JUMP ROPE.
Our first pairs of the week:
Louis & Anthony: Both are former neighbors. Louis is a floor broker at the NYSE, and Anthony is an electrician by trade.
Richard & Lorenzo: Best friends for 23 years (but have known each other for 30; it's a long story). Richard is a freelance photographer, and Lorenzo is a carpenter. Both are from Brooklyn.
Veronica & Alessandra: Met in elementary school. Veronica is a waitress originally from Argentina, and Alessandra is a student at Borough of Manhattan Community College. Both are from Hell's Kitchen.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000...though if the crowd cheers for too long, we might need to skip to the best stuff right away. Let's begin!
Louis & Anthony guess THAT'S WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE, but then change to THAT'S WHAT DREAMS ARE FOR. Still incorrect, and the audience knows it's incorrect.
Veronica & Alessandra solve THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR. As good friends, at least one should know this $3,000 Puzzler...
And it happens! They solve TRUE-BLUE.
Veronica & Alessandra solve GOLF BALL-SIZE HAIL TO THE CHIEF.
Veronica & Alessandra solve MICKEY MOUSE & PLUTO for the house minimum.
Maybe too much cheering? We're short on time, so Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. The red team begins!
Louis & Anthony: T (DUD!)
Richard & Lorenzo: S (DUD!)
Veronica & Alessandra: R ($1,600) (They try to call E after that.)
Louis & Anthony: D ($1,600)
Louis & Anthony guess ROAD WAY. Close, but incorrect.
Richard & Lorenzo: M ($1,600) (Then they try to call P.)
Veronica & Alessandra: A (x2) ($1,600)
Veronica & Alessandra solve ROAD MAP to sweep the game!
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them:
After guessing TAKE TIME and TAKE MINE, they solve TAKE FIVE ...just after the buzzer.
