Look at these fabulous prizes...
A Sherwood Furniture dining suite worth $3,100!
A AB Computers portable business computer worth $3,745!
A Ford Festiva XL worth $19,485!
It's the greatest Wheel around, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Peter Lewis (returning with $8,645 in prizes)
Don Smallwood: Has met King Farouk, and he is also an extensive traveller, successful soccer coach, and aims to live to 100 years of age (at 76, he's probably the oldest contestant); from Christchurch
Jules Krop: Parcel sorter who sells covered photo albums in her spare time, and she adores ice cream, fears spiders, and dreams of a decadent experience in Bali; from Dunedin
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $360, and here's our first puzzle:
Jules solves SCANDINAVIA.
The top dollar-value on the Wheel is now $690.
Peter solves THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is up to $1,800.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
We may already have some important letters, and now it's time for Phillip to give the Wheel a Spin. Consonants are worth $540.
Peter: K (1,525)
Peter solves SHAKE A LEG.
Don likely had it coming after calling for some bad spins by Peter. He and Jules will receive a 3-piece Pilot Pen box and Chocolate Collage Kiwifruit Creams as consolation prizes.
BONUS ROUND:
A better result in the main game for Peter, but maybe even better than that with one of these major prizes?
Dining suite ($3,100)
Queenstown holiday ($3,500)
Computer ($3,700)
Ride-on mower ($5,600)
Boat ($9,300)
Ford Festiva XL ($19,485)
With 2,460, Peter qualifies for three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Mowtown White ride-on mower ($5,624)
We think he can solve another puzzle.
