Read this story about a con-artist who bilked a game show out of $110K + by studying the game before hand.

In the end he gets his just due desserts.

Afterwards I'm sure that game-show producers try to ensure that this sort of thing doesn't happen again.

Interesting story, especially since the incident that actually earned him the money was one of the only non-fraudulent things he ever did. Figuring out the system is not cheating the system.

I guess they updated the randomizer after. ^_^

But you have to have a deep OCD streak to stick that out! No wonder his personality blew up in his face.
