    One fan (an unemployed ice cream truck driver from Ohio, Michael Larson) noticed that the board wasn't random at all and actually followed predictable, repeating patterns. He became a contestant and took advantage of his knowledge to extend play of the game for almost twice as long as normal, winning $110,237. The shocked producers decided to broadcast this extended game as a two-part episode on Friday June 8, 1984 and concluding on Monday June 11, 1984, gathering more than twice the normal ratings for a typical episode. They also increased the number of distinct light patterns and varied their speed to prevent such a thing from happening again.
