If you’ve been surfing the web this week you probably saw this video of this contestant, Caitlin, guessing a puzzle using only one letter:

Esquire profiled ^[3] her afterwards which included this other fantastic game show gem ^[4] when Terry Kniess, on The Price is Right, won both showcase showdowns with a perfect guess. (video of his guess after the jump)

If that isn’t enough, all these game show antics reminded me of Ohio native Michael Larson ^[5] on Press Your Luck in 1984. He hit 35 squares in a row by memorizing the patterns and accumulated $110,237 in about an hour! It’s a fantastic story and you can watch video of it here ^[6].

Great stuff huh? For more great stuff, here’s this week’s roundup!

• My pal J. Money has started a new project called Love Drop ^[7], where they’ll drop “unexpected financial gifts on people once a month. Mortgages paid. Medical bills erased. Student loans gone. Equipment purchased for special-needs kids.”
• I’ve known Lazy Man for years now and every year he’s managed to discover MLM scams that pilfer the pockets of unsuspecting Americans. This time he’s stumbled onto the LifeVantage – Protandim Scam ^[8]. If you’ve considered that or MonaVie ^[9], I’d check out his in-depth posts.
• The thief who broke into payment databases and stole all those credit card numbers from the likes of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, was sentenced to 20 years in prison ^[10] – the NY Times takes a look at Gonzales and the black market of identities.
• What happens with Seinfeld and economics ^[11] collide? An entertaining education!

Have a great weekend!
