Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:

A $15,000 toy store!
A $20,000 antique platinum diamond brooch!
A $14,000 Cabriolet convertible!

Over $141,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Pam Brown-McGill: Data entry operator, from San Diego Way, CA
Dolores Vonderheide: Registered nurse instructed at Northwest Hospital, also in graduate school studying business and health care administration; from Chicago, IL
Allan Spiro: Marketing analyst for a major electronics company, from Boynton Beach, FL

Pat thinks he was born at Northwest Hospital, and he asks if there's a statue or something there.

Pat then claims he was born in Boynton Beach...which is obviously false.

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours-

The audience shouts "It's yours to keep!"

Here's our first puzzle!
