Dice Dot Painter on "What's My Line?"

This clip was so long I had to trim the sign-in and walk-off to fit the alotted time and it still runs over. Contains an irresistible Martin Gabel zinger to John Daly, though.

I thought Bennett would get it. I love these extended sessions where the panelists use thoughtful logic to derive their conclusions. It also shows how sharp the panel can be with four smart people.

John's rhetoric is entertaining all on its own. haha

oh, arlene: dice are cubes not squares, and they have six sides.

@wmlfan9 You're right. I never even thought of that.

@randomheartofgold Hmmm ..... now that I think of it, a die has 12 sides. Six faces, but 12 sides. (I'm using the word "side" in the sense that a square has four sides, not one - a triangle has three sides, etc.)

@wmlfan9 i'm surprised noone noticed

@Ezhuks It was just because of the wording she used, they often ask this question. She used a plural rather then a singular and that makes the question impossible, because even if it was used in different rooms. It still be a yes answer. Also think John wanted to get off that question.

Throughout the clip, the attitude of the time (about gambling) is very noticable. Some answers and certainly John Dailys explanations and remarks are clearly influenced by it (much more than would be nowadays).

"How gay for you!" (made me lol)

Arlene Francis can't seem to ask straightforward questions.
