With nine squares left, led, you have a 22% chance of bombing out. Can you avert it?

---

Actually, it's only 12.5% if one of the remaining two bombs is mine. Or maybe it really is 22.2% and my bomb was in 13. I'm not telling anyone just yet.

Anyway, I really hope I can find that 8 million before anyone else does. Let's try #02.

In 2...uh oh...



It's the Tax Man! Boo, hiss and hiss again!

MUAHAHAHAHA! Good evening, you little rats! I'm feeling especially angry today!

And why would that be?

I've not been paid this month due to some rather shady fixin's on the Peruvian border involving the false imprisonment of my good friends Mr. Foxworthy-Smythe and Sir Chuffington Davies-Davis Esq. and three briefcases full of Colombian white powder. I tell you, they were told by the nice man with the AK-47 that it was fancy salt, and that's my story! I demand a phone call, dammit! I demand a-

Get on with it will you, you stuffy prick?

Ah, m'yes, alright, you hippie-haired shit-stain. Right, I see you all have been earning money without declaring it as tax, yes you have. You naughty, naughty people. We need that money to pay for Donald Trump's toupée cleaning. Any earnings in this round over $500,000 are taxed at 20%. I know that's a bit high, but, well, tough tits. It's how they do things in Londonland.

Oh what, you haven't earned $500,000, hedgehog!? HA! You're not even worth taxing. You other two, though...ooh, you shall do nicely!

Hmm, quite. So, bm has avoided the wrath of the tax man by not earning over the tax limit. Unfortunately, that means Nightmare loses a whopping $2,175,000, and led loses a mammoth $2,770,000, which has made the Tax Man very happy indeed? Maybe that could pay off your friends' bail, eh?

Oh, piss off.

That hurt...the studio's going to smell of Bryllcream and stale gin for the next week...

Right, bm, you're in the seat again. You could end up with a third minigame, but...you'd rather get some cash, wouldn't you?

---

That was really fucking amusing. I'd say it's worth $2,000,000 to see that happen.

---

Bloody Tax Man knocked me out of the 10 million zone!

---

You guys joined the EU, you knew this day was coming!

---

I guess I should be glad I bombed out before Mr. Tax Man visited. It looks like I would have lost over $12 million.

---

The tax is only taken on gains made in that round, not the total. So you bombing saved me from some long-winded mathing.

Edit: You only earned about 350k this round, so you'd have somehow slipped under the bar. And the Tax Man would have hated you.

---

Oh.
Well then...
I'll go back to watching from the sidelines, then.

---

HA! Dodged that bloody wanker of the TAX MAN! aren't I such a rat

So just for that # is my next selection Please.

OK, we're going into 15...25% odds of a bomb, here...



It's amazing that after everything, a middling value has nearly doubled your cash. Your Threshold Penalty has increased, but it's still smaller than a normal penalty...

Nightmare, you're naturally annoyed that you were unceremoniously dumped out of the 10m Club there. A good pick could get you back in there...

---

Let's get to the end of the road, number 25!

---

We're reaching the end of the road? Let's give it a shot...



We're getting really good at plucking out the middle cash, aren't we?

led, you've got a bit of a high-risk board now. 3 good squares. 3 bad squares. No middle ground any more. Tread carefully...

---

So it really is go big or go home for me this round, eh? Let's see if Mighty No. 9 contains something mighty good for me!

---

i'm not so sure...

---

Actually seeing what squares remain makes this more thrilling IMO.

I think he's gonna be bombed. But thats just my guess.

---

Remember this?



That was the last time anyone was as wrong as you just were...



That's how you do it! Excellent choice.

bm, for the first time, the odds are stacked against you. 40% chance of bombing, and the top win you can get is $2 million. Best of luck...

---

man that was a long dramatic pause. I just hope that I'm not going to be forced into picking a square that may possibly have a bomb.

So let's see if I can capitalize on # . Please.

*prepares for the worst*

Oh well, I was definitely wrong there. Ooooorrrr... was it reverse luck?
