Task notes
- The contestants are lined up side-by-side on stage, each standing behind a plinth, upon which there is a cloth bag with a dollar sign printed upon it, and a red drawstring.
- On the floor next to each plinth, there is a small whiteboard and a marker pen for the contestants to record their choice of action for each round.
- The game is played over three rounds, and each contestant begins the game with three orange table tennis balls in their bag (each ball representing one in-game point).
