8/10...again

reply


10/10 again, but I pretty much guessed at 2 and 7. I remembered some of the characters of question 2 (I've been skipping that one for the last 20 years), but the denomination of coin in #7 was a pure guess.

Okay— I got that coin one wrong too. But I was adding actual physics to my guess. A quarter couldn’t land on it edge as easily as a nickel. The dimes and quarters have ridges on the edges. This started with gold and silver coins (back when they were actually made of precious metals) to keep people from shaving off the edges.

reply

Haha, I thought the same thing!

Physics and the Twilight Zone don't always mix well, Jennie. :)

reply

You are correct Doug!

I guessed quarter because I thought it would be easier for them to glue down and, being the largest physical coin, would also be easier to film.

reply

IMDB has a photo of it. It’s pretty clear that the quarter was not free standing by itself but propped up by the other coins: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0734546/mediaviewer/rm331496448/

9/10. I guessed nickel also. I knew it wasn't as small as a dime, and I knew a paper would cost more than a penny even then, so it came down to nickel vs. quarter.

8/10


dang.

4/10 and two were just dumb luck guesses. I'm a TZ amateur.

reply

10/10! I helped that I had just seen a couple of the episodes...

reply

I got 7/10, disappointingly. In my defense, I've only seen the series once all the way through, and that was nearly a decade ago. I'd seen the odd episode here and there earlier in life.
