Good thing you banked, because the total pot isn't $12,000, it's $13,000. Why?
Before the mission began, I asked who was a "good sharpshooter". strager stepped up to plate.
He had a secret task, which was to assign how many "bullets" will be given to each player. He also knew about the possible exemption. So in the end, your odds may have not been 3/6. How ever many bullets are assigned determines the payout. If you succeed, your earnings would double, then triple.
1/6 $1000
2/6 $2000
3/6 $3000
4/6 $4000
5/6 $5000
6/6 $0
Of course, if you were given 6/6 bullets, there was no possible way you could earn anything.
These were the amount of bullets that were assigned to each player.
Ekaru: 4
emole: 5
Zekira: 5
thepianist: 1
strager: 3
Larto: 4
DxS: 2
animask: 1
Zekira was quite lucky there to survive two rounds, which earned him $10,000.
Although $17,000 failed to reach the bank (which is how much money was "lost" or did not even make it due to eliminations), a good $13,000 was made.
That brings your total pot to $28,000.
However, the Mole Bank has $41,000. If you want to Mole to fail their mission, you better start earning cash quick!
For our next game, I need you all to split yourself in two teams. A team consisting of "People Who Can't Spell" and "Spelling Bee Wizards".
