The price for a Pontiac Vibe is $17,000-20,000. Your trying to tell me that a trip with plane tickets to Disney World and a Jukebox is $9,000+???

Bidding $1 over what I bid is well within the rules, but if some guy pulled that [censored] on me I would meet him out back afterwards and punch him in the balls. Because that's well within MY rules. Anything less than a $50 window = ball pain.

I'm not sure how I would handle this if it was a woman.

My bad. You win one showcase. The crummy one though. Maid service and a SPA. You really are an OOT pro.

OK. 1/2 time. Spinning the Wheel.

Ugly lady spins for .1 and spins again for .3 = .4 total
Other guy spins .7 and kicks lady to curb.
Third guy spins once and sends them both home crying with .90.


Is there an optimal strategy is you spin first? What if you get .65? What about .45 - gotta spin? Do you spin again? With two to spin behind you smaller numbers are vulnerable.

I'm guessing this is a pretty simple game theory question, that mathematically inclined OOTers can answer easily. I am also curious to see the answer, because one never knows when one will appear on TPIR.

From wizard of odds:

The first player should spin again if his first spin is 65 cents or less.
If any of the following conditions are true the second player should spin again.

- His score is less than the first player's score.
- His score is 50 cents or less.
- His score is 65 cents or less and he has tied the first player.

The third player should spin again if his score is less than the current highest score. If his first spin ties the highest score he should spin again if the tie is at 45 cents or less. If the tie is at 50 cents he has an equal chance of winning by spinning again or not. If the there is a three way tie after the first spin of the third player he should spin again if the tie is at 65 cents or less.
