[edit] Article improvement
I've just worked on this article significantly to improve it. I added an actual puzzle "Code Red" from the August 2 episode (that no-one won). In regards to "How many Fives?", I remember seeing that game but do not recall there being any small-case ls in the grid, just F, I, V, E and 5s. I have the Code Red episode on my Foxtel iQ which I used to cite in this article, and will try another game in an episode one day soon to further this article with more certainty. Maybe if someone could do a screen capture to also help the article..? SEO75 [talk] 07:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Who deleted the "how many reds?" and "how many fives?" sections? you can still see it if u google it and see the cached page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.190.105.194 (talk) 14:39, August 22, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pic
Am I able to upload a pic of the Wordsearch game played on 10/11/07? -- Whiteandnerdy111 23:11, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- The article is lacking a screenshot, so that could be great. Just make sure it has a non-free use rationale or else it will be speedily deleted. SEO75 [talk] 04:48, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Forum link
I understand the wiki page is not for discussing the show or the games. Does anyone have a link to such a page or pages? peterl (talk) 20:42, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Same. One of the games the other night drove me up the wall. I won't go on further because of WP:NOT but I would like somewhere to discuss it. --Lakeyboy (talk) 05:59, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Caller Selection
This system has been exploited by several viewers as chances of being selected are greatly increased by dialling exactly 75 seconds after the previous caller is disconnected.
Is there some verification of this? It sounds like one of those gambling myths, if you ring at just the right time you'll get on the show, if you put your coins into the poker machine in just the right way you'll win. Or is there some valid reason, like all the old callers get disconnected at this time making way for new callers? MrFlit (talk) 01:59, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Is there some justification for listing this an actual TV show? Or that it is actually notable, as distinct from the various infomercials that are shown at this hour?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mint1.jpg
Image:Mint1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
