For those wondering, Ali was half a second too late on the last one. He didn't get his last marker directly on the dot that indicated Mississippi in time, and the marker had to stop moving in order for it to count, lest it fall over.

[@NickCMedia]

Statalyzer Rules are rules. The marker HAD to stop moving and be on the right dot in time in order for it to count. And the rules stayed the same throughout the entire run. The only change-- Gumshoes had to get eight instead of seven after season 1. No one got robbed by anyone. Ali only robbed himself.

[@NickCMedia]

@@SatoshiMatrix1 The blame cannot be placed on the host. Most Gumshoes would tend to jump ahead of the host.

[@axesoccer7887]

I slowed down the video to see for myself, and it was the right decision, just a half second off.

[@XSDX3R0]

Fwiw 30 years later…he took his sweet time putting the markers down, even the host kept telling him to hurry back because he sat around waiting for the buzzer when right or wrong he should’ve went back.

[@michaelfalkner1186]

I always thought the rule was the hands had to come off it before the buzzer.

[@Diesel257]

I was one question away from appearing on this show. The kid who beat me went on to be Valedictorian of his HS, graduated Magna Cum Laude from college and is now a Prof of Archeology. I went to Community College then did drugs for 20+ years. He helped me get clean and while staying at his house in early recovery, saved him from a bad electric shock with CPR. Life's a trip.

[@MrJherpy1]

This show was such a big part of my childhood. Everyday I'd come home from school and watch this and then Square One Television which came on right after this. I was so mad when they replaced this show with "Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego"

Yes, to all of this.

It was ran from 1991 until 1996 on the American PBS channel , and then it's spinoff, "Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?" was ran from 1996 until 1998, with a different host. This was also a joint-venture production of WQED/Pittsburgh and WGBH/Boston, and was funded by different sponsors over the years such as Toyota, Delta Airlines, and more. Thank you for uploading this!

When you do the math, the chance of getting the Loot, Warrant and Crook in order on the first turn is 1/15 * 1/14 * 1/13 = 1/2730. I'm not sure what the 100 yard breaststroke record was back then, I hope Amy did well in her swimming career.
