-> minimum tokens required to pass Round 6

"....and 3 additional aids of any type"

The question does not specify distinct aids to be carried.
Also the question mentions -"...minimum number of tokens a participant, who currently has no aids, would need to spend to acquire all necessary aids"

Necessary: 1. Strategy guide 2. Wildcard

Thus 350+300+ the minimum valued article.
Since there is no articles priced at 100 token leaving the notebook, we take 3 notebooks

350 + 300 + 3(100)= 950

Hope this helps.

Do you agree with Q2_1 answer "No"?

I believe it should be "Yes", as the question asks whether partaking in the round is possible. We need to use our Fact Sheet in Round 1, leaving us with the Prop Kit and Puzzle Box. Then in round 2 we require the Prop Kit and one additional aid. As the additional aid we could use the Puzzle Box, right?

If I'm not mistaken here, then by using the Puzzle Box as the additional aid, we are able to clear round 2 successfully and enter round 3 with no more aids. This means we cannot successfully complete it, but we can partake in it, answering the question with "Yes". Am I missing something?

I think the answer is wrong for this one: in the below question: The total trade-in value of these aids is greater than 250 tokens. - It should be Yes

ExpertsGlobal5 - Can you please check? Trading value is 220 - wildcard value is 150 - what's the logic?


For each of the following statements regarding the 3 aids with which a participant begins the game show, answer Yes if it accurately reflects the provided information. Otherwise, select No.
Yes No
These aids alone are sufficient to partake in at least 3 rounds.
The total trade-in value of these aids is greater than 250 tokens.
Trading in the Prop Kit and the Puzzle Box will give the participant enough tokens to purchase 1 Wild Card.

hi! it says in the description of the tab that contains aid values that you can acquire multiple aids of a specific type. this implies that u can get three additional aids of the same aid. we can use the lowest value i.e 100 to get the minimum tokens. this would allow the total to be 950. let me know if this makes sense.

"Each aid a participant possesses can be used once in a round or traded once for tokens – the show’s currency – but not both." Even though we can buy the same aid multiple times at once, this condition prevents us from using the same aid multiple times in the same round right?

Hello @Bunuel, Can you explain why puzzle box is marked as No, as the participant only has 1 puzzle box but in the 2nd tab its shown that 2 puzzle boxes are required.
