As I'm working, "Let's Make a Deal" is on. A woman has four rolls of
a die to get 10 points or more. She gets 8 on the first two rolls.
So... does she or the host say "No need to roll again?" No! She
actually rolls the die!
Of course she rolls the die. She has to, because she needs to get ten, and
she only has eight. So, by the rules of the game she has to keep rolling
until she gets the ten she needs, or runs out of rolls. Getting a good start
is not the same as winning.
