Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Did this make it to air?
The only other time I ever saw a Wheel contestant solve the puzzle with one letter was several years ago when they had an autistic savant on the show.
He solved every puzzle. I think he might have solved some without any letters on the board!
He looked like he was having the time of his life.

My kids and I were watching that and couldn't believe that she solved it, but when you know the prize puzzle is always something along those lines, it certainly does help. She was actually solving the puzzles quickly all night long.

Actually, it could be a disadvantage to solve the puzzle with just one letter. If you know what the answer is, then usually it is better to give the wheel at least a couple more spins, and earn up a bit more money before solving.

Patchy, I've seen people that try to do that and it bites them on the ass....they end up with bankrupt or Lose A Turn. I feel so bad for them when they're just trying to win the game.

I'm not saying it is a sure-fire, every-time-a-winner strategy. I'm just saying that, comparing the amount of risk to the possible gain, it is usually better not to do a single-letter solve, unless that letter is used multiple times in the puzzle, thus giving you a good amount of winnings.DragonFox98 wrote:Patchy, I've seen people that try to do that and it bites them on the ass....they end up with bankrupt or Lose A Turn.
