How the show works:
If you've never seen the show, it works like this: A contestant begins by picking a briefcase out of 20 possible off of the stage which is then put into her possesion, but the value remains unknown.
Then, she picks cases off cases from the stage one by one and the value inside the cases, ranging from .01 to 1,000,000 are revealed.
Based on the values in the remaining cases, 'the banker' makes her an offer that she can either take right then or she can choose another case and recieve another offer.
If she chooses to, the contestant can decline every deal offered and take whatever is inside the breifcase in her possesion.
Obviously, picking low values from the stage is ideal because it increases the probability that she has a high valued case in her possesion, thus increasing the banker's offer.
