Do the Math
Rules
Two prizes are shown as is an amount of money. The contestant must decide if the price of the first prize plus the amount of money shown equals the price of the second prize or if the price of the first prize minus the amount of money shown equals the price of the second prize. If they are correct, they win both prizes and the amount of money.
Random fact
Former CBS & Price is Right employee Scott Robinson came up with the concept that would become this game. He is also a frequent poster at golden-road.net and shared with us the story of how Do the Math came about:
(Sadly, some of the videos and photos that were once in that thread have been lost to time, but it's still a great read.)
Win-loss record
- Actual (seasons 42-46): 71-46 (60.68%)
(Note Do the Math was introduced in season 42.) - What it would be by random chance: 1/2 (50%)
Number of times it was correct to...
- Add: 53 (45.30%)
- Subtract: 64 (54.70%)
Strategy
Forget the actual prices or the amount of money, this is really a game of which prize is more expensive. If the second prize is more expensive, select "plus"; if it's less expensive, select "minus." And don't forget the trip rule--if you're playing for two trips, whichever destination is farther from Los Angeles is the more expensive trip.
