"The Price is Wrong, Bitch!"
Quick notes since The Price is Right just came on TV:
1. Drew Carey is no Bob Barker.
2. When the four contestants bid to enter a game, they bring out an item and the bidder closest to the price without going over wins. The fourth bidder, therefore, has a competitive advantage because they can bid $1 and will win if everyone else is over. The third bidder at this moment just bid $1200, then the fourth bid $1199, i.e. she literally has no chance to win unless the price is specifically $1199. Am I the only one that gets annoyed watching this type of behavior?!?

Or can bid max_bid+1 if everyone is under.
But heh... I wouldn't have noticed anything wrong with those bids if you didn't make a point of it... but now I see.
