Daily Double Graphic and Sound Effect!
Daily Double!!!

• DO NOT DELETE THIS SLIDE! Deleting it may cause
  the game links to work improperly. This slide is
  hidden during the game, and WILL not appear.
• In slide view mode, copy the above (red) graphic
  (click once to select right click the border and
  choose copy).
• Locate the answer slide which you want to be the
  daily double
• Right-click and choose paste. If necessary,
  reposition the graphic so that it does not cover
  the answer text.
