Now for the fun part. Each of you individually are getting two chips for each question - a big one and a small one. The big one is worth $200 and the small one is worth $100. In your confessional, post your wagers in bold. You are trying to bet on the answer that you think is closest to the real answer without going over (or with a higher number, in the case of question 3.) You are NOT required to bet on your own answer! You are also allowed to put the big chip and the little chip on two different answers, or put both chips on the same answer.
If you think everypony chose an answer that is too high, you can bet on a) 1. If you do so and are correct, your bet will be worth DOUBLE!
Once everypony has wagered, we will calculate the results, add in the bonuses for submitting the closest answer, and hand out the immunity necklaces.
