Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A mountain vacation home!
A piano!
A dining room!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $184,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Hal Posten: Physician with the U.S. Navy, from San Ramon, CA
Patt Rupp: Sells Girl Scout cookies for a major baking company, from St. Louis, MO
Carol Weinberg: Teacher and part-time travel agent, from Fresh Meadows, NY

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:

Round 1

Hal (FS)	Patt	Carol
		$1,800

From the workshop to our studio, one of our presents is a Van Cleef & Arpels gift certificate featuring a pink sapphire and diamond ring (labeled RING) worth $4,600.

We dig the $2,500 space out of the snow, making it nice and shiny.

$6,150

SAME NAME

Hal solves LITTLE BOY AND NAVY BLUE.

Hal	Patt	Carol
$6,150		$1,800

We won't be blowing any horns inside the studio. There will be enough noise when someone hits the $3,500 space.

Round 3

THING

Patt solves WEEKLY ALLOWANCE.

Hal	Patt	Carol
$6,150	$1,600	$1,800

How much would you need to earn per week, and how fast, if you wanted to buy a Fremarc antique white country French dining room group (labeled ROOM) worth $10,268?

Our players won't have to think about allowance if the $5,000 space has something to say.

Bonus Puzzle

PLACE

RSTLNE gives him:

PLACE

Quick picks of CMPA had better do something.

PLACE

10 seconds of silence, and he does not solve DRIVEWAY. Hal finishes with $6,550 in cash, and since it's Christmas Week, Pat invites his family onstage anyway.

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna talk about all the decorations on the set. Pat thinks you could be killed if the puzzleboard holly fell on you. The candles are functioning, and Vanna thought they smelled like mothballs. Pat gives it a sniff...and Vanna's right about the mothball smell.
