If you manage to answer all 14 questions correctly, you will be rewarded with $1,000,000. Once again, regrettably, this is not real money.

15. Deal or No Deal Game

Select one of the cases, hoping it possesses the highest value conceivable. Then pick cases to uncover, hoping for the lowest values possible. After revealing several cases, the round will conclude and the banker will present an offer based on the remaining case values. You determine whether it's a bargain or no bargain. If you opt for no bargain, the game persists. If you choose to strike a deal, the game concludes and the original case you selected is opened. The objective is to depart with the most (imaginary) money possible and, ideally, more than what was in your initial case.
