You're a man after my own heart. Let's bring up the console:
Your goal, of course, is to turn all of those Xs into numbers. If you do that in three attempts, you win the money. Remember, again, they each contain a number from 1 to 5, and there are no repeating numbers in the code. Best of luck!
[X] [X] [X] [X] [X]
Attempts remaining: 3
Jackpot: $2,500,000

Only one lit. However, it does get easier getting one, and now you know a number in each slot that it definitely can't be. I work out your odds at the moment to be 1-in-8. Another guess!

Another lit up, but you have to get all three in one go, now. However, if you think about it, I think you can break this one. Good luck.

Ohhh, you are good. The Fortress is breached for only the second time ever, and you get yourself a sweet boosted-up $4,600,000 out of the deal. Neat! That puts you on $36,640,442, which is a pretty damn good first round, I'd say.
However, there is another minigame to play, and it's NXC's! It's an old faithful, too. Split Decision is coming up real soon.

Welcome, NXC, to SPLIT DECISION!
The aim of this game is to get the maximum amount of money out of a series of increasing Split Decisions. The game involves these twelve squares:
Ten cash values, 2 Bombs. The game is made of 6 rounds. In each round, you pick two squares. We show you the first square, and ask whether you'd like to bank the cash, or reject it for the second square's contents. Regardless of what you choose, both squares are eliminated, and we continue until all 12 squares are gone. Play the perfect game, and you win $20,000,000! With your boost, that's $45,000,000!
Now, that's all very good until we reach the Bombs. If you bank a Bomb, your bank is instantly wiped to zero. However, you CAN continue the game if you still have squares to pick. HOWEVER, if you reveal a bomb in your first square, both squares are instantly eliminated. You can't switch out a bomb, you see. That'd be too easy.
You get an opportunity to leave the game with the cash you've currently earned after the 2nd and 4th rounds.
So, let's reveal the grid!
Right, without further ado, let's have two numbers.

A good one! However, there could be more behind 10. Do you wanna risk it, though? There could be, after all, a bomb.
$2,500,000. Take it or leave it?

Right decision! The lowest amount is out of the game!
BANK: $2,500,000
MAXIMUM: $20,000,000
Now, we go for 12...
It's low money. There could be more behind 4, but there could be a bomb.
$500,000. Take it or leave it?

And there goes your money!
BANK: $0
MAXIMUM: $16,500,000
I presume you'd still want to keep playing so...let's pop 8!
2 million is a good spot. But...the 8 million is still in the running.
$2,000,000. Take it or leave it?

Good call!
BANK: $2,000,000
MAXIMUM: $16,500,000
You're playing well, so let's look at 2...
BRUH! Wonderful grab. But does the 8 million lie behind #3? Don't forget, you have the choice to leave after this round.
$5,000,000. Take it or leave it?

Good call on that round, and you've left! Where was the eight million?
WIN: $7,000,000
So, you did leave a good ten million on the table, but the risk was too great to bomb out! Never mind, the seven million you took out of the game we will boost and it means that you've took out of the game a tasty $15,750,000! Daaaamn. So, your current total has just shattered the nine-figure boundary! But what has it done to the scores?
