A quick calculation shows that the odds of making 3 flops in a row are 1 in 216, that&#8217;s rolling three consecutive &#8220;ones&#8221; with a single die. It was especially disappointing for <strong>Mark<\/strong> who went through complicated negotiations, receiving advice from right and left, stumping up the small fortune to make the film, only to end up with a flop at the box office. It was a case of ROFL for all. If you don&#8217;t know what ROFL means, ask someone younger.\u00a0 Despite this setback, he ended up making a non-flop which won him the game.<br \/>\nMark also scored points by coming 3rd in <em>Uno<\/em>, those 110 points moving him from the bottom half of the table to the top half, and within reach of the lead.<br \/>\n<strong>Louise<\/strong> also scored twice &#8211; 3rd in <em>Movie Maker<\/em> and 2nd in <em>Uno<\/em>.
