So I was watching The Price is Right this morning and saw the unexpected. The man guessed the exact amount of the showcase - $23,743. As a former math geek (I say former because I've forgotten most of the good stuff), I'd love to know what the odds are for someone to guess an unusual number like that and be right. In other words, I'm waiting to find out that he cheated in some way.
Then again, I haven't watched The Price is Right in a while, and yet I happen to watch the day that this occurs. But still....
I've seen a few places around the 'net talking about this, including this blog entry from Best Week Ever (with video).
What do you think?

Did you have the baby??? I forget when the due date was...
Drew Carey said last night that a man who had memorized all the prices of items on the show was sitting in the front row feeding the numbers to the showcase winner, while its not cheating, cbs was worried about the damage that show could do, and thats why it ended up being buried in decembers lineup, with the guy in the front row edited out.
Wow thank you for the follow up! It seems almost stupid to guess the exact amount and not something close - unless you're trying to prove a point. I'd love to watch that episode again now just to see what led up to the showcase.
