Segments

• Exclusive Music Video: "Ghosts of a Chance" (Five Factorial) (EKA #111)

At a haunted house, a pizza delivery boy finds himself in several threatening situations -- each of which has a different probability of escape.

The odds of pulling a sharpened pencil out of 4 sharpened and 1 unsharpened get greater as the contestant successfully pulls out the unsharpened ones.

• Backstage with Blackstone: Card and Number

Blackstone asks a spectator to think of a 3-digit number, reverse the digits, subtract the larger from the smaller, add the digits of the answer - and the result will always be 18.

Quotes

• Mathnet Announcer: The ever present LAPD captured Janus Prokedsian at the zoo and he was found guilty of robbery and impersonating a gorilla. He was made to return all the money and produce he had stolen except for 20 pounds of bananas, which had gone bad. He was sentenced to an appropriate number of years away from society and real gorillas.
