Added:[applause] >> Well, with two contestants remaining, Bill and Sylvia, we come to round three, which is slightly different. This time you'll select the children you want to play the game with by pushing the buttons on the top of your desk there and trying to stop the flashing screen where you most want it to stop. Now, you'll each have three goes to match the children with the answers, and this is the question we asked: Can you spell potato? Now, you play alternatively, and for each correct guess you'll score 40 points. Uh now, Bill, you're going to go first. Let us start the screen flashing and stop it when you want to. All right?
