"Lodden Thinks" Shenanigans
Over on the side feature table that contains Zach Hyman, Sam Greenwood, Bill Perkins, Ivan Soshnikov, Daniel Colman, Igor Kurganov, Mike McDonald, and Scott Seiver, the game of "Lodden Thinks" has been keeping the players occupied plenty. The players involved are Perkins, Colman, Kurganov, and Seiver, with McDonald serving as "the Lodden."
For one of the recent questions, McDonald was asked how much he thought it would take for Soshnikov to shave his eyebrows off and keep them shaved off for his entire life. The bidding began with Seiver and went around between the four players involved until Perkins bid $551,000. Seiver took the under, then Kurganov did the same. Colman took the over, and then McDonald gave his number.
McDonald's number was $2,500,000, giving the win to Colman and Perkins.
Then, another "Lodden Thinks" question followed with McDonald once more serving as the brain. This question was about the dealer at the table, and how much it would take for that dealer to not cleanse his mouth or teeth in any way for a year and a half. This meant no brushing his teeth, no mouthwash, and no chewing gum, among other things. Keep in mind that the dealer confirmed that he had a girlfriend.
After McDonald locked in his number, the bidding began.
After a few times around, Perkins bid $421,000. Colman, Kurganov, and Seiver all took the under, but they were all wrong by doing so. McDonald had set his number at $600,000, and Perkins picked up the win.
From there, the game didn't stop and the next question was up. Because the players didn't seem to enjoy the monetary figures McDonald was locking in, they picked a question that didn't involve a currency — how many grains of sand does McDonald think the beach contains?
