Seeing that reruns of Cash Cab are now playing on GSN, I felt encouraged to make this topic. Here is how this game works:
I will set up a set of 12 general knowledge questions. Whoever wants to answer the questions can volunteer. It’s first come first serve.
The first 4 questions are worth 25 points, the next 4 questions are worth 50 points, and the last 4 questions are worth 100 points. If a question is answered incorrectly, or if the player doesn’t answer the question within 24 hours, they will receive a strike. If a player reaches 3 strikes, the game is over for them, and I will allow someone else to play the next game.
The player is given two shoutouts. If they get stumped on a question, they can use a shoutout to ask someone else on the board for help, but they cannot use the same person for both shoutouts.
If a player makes it successfully to the end of the round, they have the option to either start the next round, or risk all the points they earned and go for double or nothing on a bonus question. If they answer the bonus question incorrectly, it acts as getting three strikes.
So what do you say? Who’d like to play?

I recall watching the show, I think the New York version more...I recall watching it but i don't recall exact questions or sequences. I'd be up for this.

WEll, Race already called dibs, so he gets to go first, Lupus. I just need some time to come up with some questions now...
Here is your first $25 question, Race:

That is correct! Almost missed your turn there, Race, but you managed to score 25 just in time! Here’s your next question...
While most superheroes are obligated to save the world, what video game character got his own cartoon where his obligation was to save the Universe?

I want to call Belchic...actually I don't think that's an option. Can I try Bab. He's been in a few musicals so maybe he knows.

Okay. babclayman, Race needs your help on this question: In music, what four-letter initials are used to identify four-part Harmony? (You are right Race. I am not an option because I’m giving the questions.)

OH NO! Time’s up, Race! Strike 1!
The answer we were looking for was: SATB.
Well, you still have $75 and one shoutout left, and two more strikes. These next questions are worth $50:
