He Whispered His Answer to Linda
In a 2018 article published by the Houston Chronicle, Slauson explained that he used his mental math skills to add up the values of all the prizes in Terry’s final Showcase, reaching a total of $23,743. He double-checked his calculation to make sure he was correct. Slauson then shared the answer with Linda, who was sitting beside him. In 2017, a documentary called “Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much” explored this situation. However, Terry maintained that there was another explanation.
