only upped the prize by €33 what a tightwad

Maybe people have gotten wise and there is not enough monies to pay out.

Can the correct answer be manipulated?

thanks to "snake" , "sleep" and "satin" I think the correct combination cant be made ... you needed to keep all single vowels....double vowels ruins extra combinations.

if you started with " sunny" then maybe it was possible..... varying combinations .

squad also fits in

billy the squid · 15-07-2009 1:17am

Time since last caller - 20 minutes.

PCPhoto · 15-07-2009 1:19am

how much money does that equate to ...how many phone lines do they have ..... they could be making thousands (if theres enough insomniacs out there watching TV)

Our man in Havana · 15-07-2009 1:19am

Is the solution in the envelope?

I think it is 98, look at the last line, there's 5 2's there but you only counted 4.

Ok. I now agree it's 98 as my list was missing no 201.

You are most likely correct.

billy the squid · 15-07-2009 1:21am

You probably have to call a certain number of times before you get through, hence the need to have Caller ID on.

do I get a prize ????

(two sleeping tablets :P)

another word that still fits: "Sills" ...or even "sells"

Riordan123 · 15-07-2009 1:23am

Id say it must be very borin presentin that show... your waitin for callers, like now, for ages, and you have to keep staring into the camera!! UGH!! it would drive me crazy! ANd she cant shut up coz she has to keep ppl tuned in!! :rolleyes:

You are probably right there. They are very tight on information.

Yup.

PCPhoto · 15-07-2009 1:26am

didnt know you needed called ID on .... thats wierd.... could also be a way of collecting phone numbers for database/research.

Has the envelope been in plain sight at all times?

didnt think there was an envelope for this one..... thought it was just call up and give yer answer - win a prize ..... she might have a list of words available to fit in for a couple of spaces and will just say thats enough - end of the game.

scrub!!! ruins a couple for me

squad still works ...... have we moved on to a new game ?

D4 is sad bee

Same As · 15-07-2009 1:29am

D4....he's not smiling!

Got it in seconds, lets see how long this takes on air!

PCPhoto · 15-07-2009 1:31am

i think she's just moved on in to avoid revealing that its not possible.

Same As · 15-07-2009 1:31am

Lol, Insomnia has brought me to this!

billy the squid · 15-07-2009 1:31am

Maybe its too tough. is she for real?

murpho999 · 15-07-2009 1:39am

Just proves this whole show is a sting!

PCPhoto · 15-07-2009 1:39am

games too tough !!! Feck sake..... open the bloody phone lines and people will be able to get through.

we'll have this running for another 10mins, maybe .....before they let someone phone in..... people that are actually phoning at the moment must be doin' their nut..... constantly phoning and not getting through (all that money wasted)

D4 seems to be the odd one out in alot of these puzzles, more so than any other coordinates.

Land Of Idiots · 15-07-2009 1:41am

What are the chances this game will last til 3?

Riordan123 · 15-07-2009 1:42am

Playtv is almost like a scam! Where there encouraging you to ring, knoing nobody will get through...

billy the squid · 15-07-2009 1:43am

No doubt they will take a column off in half an hour "to make it easier"

Mind the wording there bud! They don't want the 'S' word associated with Play TV on here!

Indeed and then they will narrow it down further, all the time increasing the money and not taking any calls.

Wat do you mean?

PCPhoto · 15-07-2009 1:45am

just looking at the figures .... assuming they get a decent amount of calls per min ..... also assuming they have a number of phone lines allowing multiple incoming calls..... they are possibly looking at a couple of hundred a minute.

conservatively lets say they have 5 telephone lines - and people are calling at a rate of 50 per minute over those lines (10 calls per phone line per minute...seems reasonable for me)

Anyway - 1.50 per call, approx 50 per minute .... :eek::eek: thats €75 per minute :eek: :eek: they are taking in (of course this is complete speculation and I'm talkin b0ll0x)

You are very close to the truth there.
