If they guessed right, they would win the car. Pat went first and guessed 8. She was off by 1, but managed to win the car by rolling 9 on the second try. Beth was up next and guessed 9. She was off by 1 as well, but won the car on her second try by rolling 10. Paul was up last, and he guessed 7. He was off by 2 and did not win the car.

Finally, Paul played and was unable to guess the correct range.
