Read this for an amazing twist to the final rules, courtesy of me mishearing them! xD<br>I thought Tom said the deal would be accepted if and only if 3/4 agreed.  I thought this meant that if all 4 agreed the deal would be rejected.  I thought Tom was hiding that last part from the other 4 players.  The way he worded it to them,  "The majority of you have to accept the deal", made me sure he was hiding this twist from them.  This rule makes it seem as though an even split is impossible but there is a way I will reveal below.  [some details of the show are spoiled below]<br><br><br><br><br>Given my imagined rules, I got really excited when Mike offered the $1200 split because I thought this meant he was trying to communicate the hidden rule to the rest by proving that he can't get the agreed deal through if they all accept it.  I was expecting them all to accept but then to their surprise it would be REJECTED, then they would have to work out why it was rejected.<br>Tom would simply repeat, "The majority of you have to accept the deal."  Maybe he could reveal there was an extra hidden rule but that he could not reveal it to them.<br>If they could work out the rule, Mike could offer the same deal again but this time the four would agree for one of them to say no.  Then with 3/4 accepting, the deal goes through!<br><br>Can you imagine the insanity it would induce if Tom said, "I can reveal there is one extra hidden rule that only 1 of the 5 of you know about."
