well, being in last place, and having to make it to top 2,my only chance was to get something even a little bit big. seeing how every single round has transpired like clockwork, obviously wasn’t gonna happen! I’ll concede now, good luck (ha!) to the top 2.

That was my logic too! I figured that most, if not all, of the top four (me being #5) would take offer 1 or 2, and I needed to get SOME kind of jump over them. But I should’ve known it wouldn’t turn out like that. (Have we yet had our chosen case be anything substantial?)

I too will publicly say I’ll take the deal now!

Round 6 has ended. I will declare those that conceded to have accepted the deal for scoring purposes.

The first offer for $40000 was accepted by Mahaloth and Taber.
The second offer for $50000 was accepted by Larry Borgia.
The third offer for $47500 was not accepted.
The fourth offer for $30500 was not accepted.
The fifth offer for $900 was accepted by Biotop, Bootis, and Leaper ending the round.

If play had continued the next case open would have been Case 4 for $5000 and the sixth offer would have been 230. The next case after that would have been Case 16 for .01 and the seventh offer would have been $340.
Then next case after that would have been Case 13 for $750 and the eighth offer would have been $210.
The last case opened would have been Case 3 for $500 and the ninth offer would have been $100.
Case 1 contained $200 and the other remaining case was Case 10 which held $10.

So the standings after six rounds are:

  1. Mahaloth $138010
  2. Larry Borgia $103500
  3. Taber $76860
  4. Biotop $53600
  5. Leaper $37410.01
  6. Bootis $33300.01
    (Please check my math and let me know if I have made a mistake.)

So, being eliminated are Leaper and Bootis.

Bootis, in the OP I made a mistake and said that the field would be reduced to the top 2, but I corrected that in a later post and have stated at the beginning of the last two rounds that the field would be reduced to the top 4. I apologize if that has affected your strategy, but I do think I made it clear.
I will start Round 7 shortly.

I will start the seventh round in the next post. The next two rounds will have 26 cases with the following values:

.01
1
5
10

We will open 6 cases to start. We will open 5 for the next phase, then 4, then 3, then 2, then 1 at a time.

We still have the following players:

LarryBorgia
Mahaloth
Biotop
Taber

These will be the last two rounds.

I will be sending a PM to all remaining players letting them know that round 7 has begun.

I have a made a mistake in the previous post. Case 16 contained $750000, but I eliminated $75000 from the list.

When I posted this and previewed, I noticed that the offer seemed less than what I would have expected. Rather than do what I should have, which is to double check that I had the correct numbers, I assumed that I had made a mistake in my calculations before deciding the offer. So, I redid the offer.

I will correct this in the next post, but I wanted to explain why the offer was changing as well as the numbers in the list.

Beginning of round 8. This is the final round. This is the corrected version for offer 1.

The values have been randomly assigned to the cases and case 1 is set aside for the players.
