That's so great to hear! Thanks for posting your experience.

As I posted on the question pak info- we just did our presentation Saturday and it went terrific!

Thanks for the great software. One tip I would give folks that helped me. I made 5 keysized sticky notes. They went over the v, b, n, m keys and the PgDn key to help me. That way as I was looking at theanswers to see if the answer was correct, I did not also have to 'think' whick strike button to push, etc.

It really helped. I used an old keyboard, and painted the z and / keys with white out, and the surrounding keys with my wife's dark nail polish. Worked well, but one gentleman in a wheelchair could not use the makeshift podium we set up. soo...

Now I think I will play with trying to make a plunger from the other threads! Thanks to everyone for sharing.

Isn't it amazing what a little bit of sight and sound magic can do? I love these stories. It's why I do what I do.

I love it! My siblings do too... just incredible!

I like to ask questions myself, and collect the results. I may use already-made surveys, though doing it my way, I can always be sure to ask questions that a 9-year old child could answer.

I use SINGLE-SINGLE-DOUBLE-DOUBLE-TRIPLE to 300 points; that's always been my preference.

I know the show was never particularly strict with this, but I always have the question with the most answers first, up to the question with the least answers last... for the first 6 questions, at least. And it's quite likely I'll never need more than six.

I have 19 episodes worth of questions all set, each with 5 regular round questions. I have only 4 Round 6 questions (all with just 3 answers), namely since Round 6 would be very rare anyway. I also have ten more questions for Rounds 7-16 (same for each "episode," though I'd simply promote each question if one got used), in the unlikely event more than 6 rounds would be needed, though it's entirely likely they'll never be used, though those all have 4-6 answers (except question #16). Perhaps unorthadox, but all the rounds past 6 have QUADRUPLE point value. For the extreme emergency, almost nil chance of happening, Round 16 is a tiebreaker ("Name a U.S. state that starts with L." Perhaps too easy a question, but if a game actually needs 16 rounds, after 9 quadruple value rounds, that's kind of the point.).

I've hosted 8 of these shows so far, and so far, there have been 3 episodes with just 4 rounds, and even one show with just 3. When ten of these unused rounds add up, I'll make another episode, with the unused questions (5 for regular round questions, 5 for fast money).

Does anyone know, officially, the highest score for a #1 answer in Fast Money has been? I know I've seen above 60 before... either way, the questions are arranged so that a person answering with five #1 answers will be somewhere close to 200 points, or exceed it by a bit.

For the most part, again because it's often done this way on the show though not always, I ask the Fast Money questions in the order that I feel it might be toughest to easiest to give the top answers. I've been pretty good at this.

I know this is also unorthodox, but for Fast Money, I do count answers for which only a single person said, or at least up to 9 of them. Not for the regular round questions, though; otherwise, it would be difficult to ask questions that don't reach 7 or more different answers .
