And finally, the day has come. The start of the legendary Big Win Chance Game! Greg and Adam were among the 100 players selected.
It's a sunny day in the middle of the summer, Greg and Adam get off of the bus, they are standing in front of an enormous building, this is the place where they spend most of their time during the show.
Adam: Whoooah! I can't believe I'm here! I was only watching it, and now...
Greg: You should calm down a little.
Then an uniformed man walks over to them.
Uniformed man: Sorry, are you two here because the show?
Greg: Yeah, we both will participate in the game.
Uniformed man: Can I see your cards please?
Adam: Uhh.. I swear I put it somewhere here, surely...
Awkward silence...
Adam: Ah! Here it is! Huh- I thought I forgot to bring it.
Uniformed man: Great! Please follow me!
Greg and Adam follow the guy. After a short walk into the main hall of the building, the man already left them. The Main hall is impressively big on the inside, as if it would be even bigger than the outside. There were over 60 people there already, but obviously not everyone had arrived yet.
Adam: Whoah, there are so many people! I am sure there are some insane guys like in the past seasons! But I can't see anyone that played in any of the past seasons.
Greg: It's because no one is allowed to be in the show more than once.
Voice announcer: Welcome everyone! It appears that all 100 people have arrived. Please, you all, go to one of the 8 ticket machines to get your numbers! Your number will not influence your chances at winning in the game, so no need to hurry.
Adam: Hey Greg! What number did you get?
Greg: I got 89, what about you?
Adam: I got 34. What's this number mean, anyway? It's so that it's easier because there's no need to remember 100 names?
Greg: Could be that too. But I think it's for something else.
Voice announcer: You've all received your numbers. Pin them into your clothing and don't remove or swap them with other players' numbers—or you'll be disqualified! Now shall we begin to announce the setup? You will play with the players that are really close to your number in the first game!
Adam: Oh, no way... Pretty sure we will not be on the same team then.
Greg: It's for sure.
Voice announcer: Groups consisting of 4 players will be playing most of the time. The first one will not be random! Group 1 will be players 1 to 4. Group 2 will be the players 5 to 8, and so on.
Adam: So, which group am I in exactly? Let me think a li....
Greg: You have the number 34, so you will be in Group 9 with the players 33, 35 and 36.
I have the number 89, so I will be in Group 23 with the players 90, 91 and 92.
Adam: Wait! It was like literally just like barely 5 seconds and you already calculated it?
Greg: It's really not a big thing, you just have to divide by 4.
Voice announcer: I am pretty sure all of you can figure out in which group you are, but in case you can't or just want to make sure, you will find all the groups listed in the main hall. The first game will start tomorrow, this hotel has exactly 100 rooms in it, so please, ask for your numbered key from the employees, see you all tomorrow!
Adam: Seems like almost no one wants to talk with anyone, hmm?
Greg: Of course they don't, they all want that 10 million $, everyone is here for the money, not to make friends.
Adam: Well yeah, that somewhat understan...
Greg: Well I'm going to my room, I'm tired, see you tomorrow!
Adam: Wait! Are you serious? Don't leave me here like that! At least give me some tips on how I should win? You surely know some that can be applied to almost everywhere!
Greg: I dunno.
Adam: Wait! Ugh, I can't believe him!
For almost everyone, the night seemed like it would last forever, they gonna compete for a lot of money after all. Of course, there were some exceptions, for example, Greg.
Greg and all the players in the morning went to the main hall, waiting for the announcement of the first game.
Greg: Oh? Here it comes finally, Adam.
Adam: Aaahh, I'm still sleepy. I simply couldn't fall asleep until around midnight, I think, and then they woke us up at 6am.
Greg: As I can tell from the others, you were not the only one. It's almost 7am btw. I think they will announce the first game soon!
Adam: I hope they will give us breakfast before we start. I'm really hungry.
When the last player arrived at the main hall, the voice they heard yesterday spoke up again, this time, to announce the first game.
Voice announcer: Hello again everyone! You surely noticed by now that this hotel is not big enough to hold all the games at the same time, This hotel has 10 potential places to hold a game, so only the first 10 groups match will be held here, the rest, which is 15 groups matches will be taken somewhere else, from Group 11 to 25, all of you gonna be transported to somewhere else to play!
