Esther, we have hidden a special prize for you which
is worth more than a dollar. The prize says
Congratulations right on it. Your job is to describe
the prize and tell us where it is located without
removing your blindfold. You may ask any Yes or No
questions which you like. The audience will answer
them accurately. You may also move around the
room and feel for it. Good luck and have fun!!!
