Dell solves ALI BABA AND THE FORTY THIEVES. The problem is, they won't substitute "forty" for a question mark.
Graham solves ALI BABA AND THE ? THIEVES without the blank. Dell gave it away for the extra 200, so Graham just has to fill in the blank.
Obviously, he steals it with Forty.
He also steals one of these prizes, but Dell isn't worried. Graham now has the choice of a Tosca luggage collection, a Tasco telescope, or some country watercolour artwork.
Graham takes the telescope.
