PRMCE

In the grand tradition of entrance exams (MCAT, LSAT, GRE), I propose that the Price is Right institute a minimum competency exam, the PRMCE. This test would be administered to any potential audience members before being allowed to enter the studio. Questions would be similar to those listed below:

1) Put the following numbers in order of smallest to largest:
1 100 10 10,000 1,000

2) If Carlos spins the wheel and gets an 85, and on your first spin you get a 45.....
a) should you spin again?
b) what do you need to spin to tie Carlos?
c) what do you need to beat Carlos?
d) If you spin higher than a ____ you will have gone over.

3) Which of the following options is the correct way to say the following number: 11,267

5) If someone bids $500.00 on an item and you think that the item is less than $500.00, it is a good idea to bid $499.00.

True/False

I know I'm a bit of a hard a$$, but I think that a perfect score should be required for entrance to the Price is Right.

If anyone knows Drew Carey, would you be kind enough to pass this on to him?
