Yes, these sources said, he regularly stretches out on a couch in his City Hall office and zonks out for a while.

Just like the person with 20/20 vision doesn't realize how lucky they are to not need glasses, the person who zonks in five minutes doesn't realize how lucky they are to not be restless at 3 a.m.

In this makeshift sensory deprivation tank, he spends ten minutes meditating—which studies in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine found can help reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality—and afterwards zonks out against a full-size pillow he carries on.

It turns out I don't need to worry about getting too stoned, since the game features so many quirky rules and penalties to figure out, things like "bloody zonks" and "dare rules" and "sex odyssey bonuses," it takes seemingly forever for anyone to reach 1,000 points and take a hit from the bong.

In addition, several male actors, referred to as los Tratochicos ("the Deal Guys"), assisted with some deals and "modeled" some of the prizes and zonks, although they did not describe them, unlike English-language version announcers Jay Stewart (1963–76) and Jonathan Mangum (2009-present) who announced and "modeled" the Zonks.

Let's Make a Deal has a game, "Smash for Cash", in which a contestant asks announcer Jonathan Magnum to smash piggy banks. A contestant who earns enough cash ($1, $2, or Zonks in each piggy bank) can win a cash bonus of $20,000, but cannot find both Zonks. In the version hosted by Monty Hall, one of the three doors in the day's Big Deal sometimes hid "Monty's Piggy Bank", which contained a cash award.

On rare occasions, a trader receives a zonk that proves to be a cover-up for a valuable prize, such as a fur coat hidden inside a garbage can. Though usually considered joke prizes, traders legally win the zonks. However, after the taping of the show, any trader who had been zonked is offered a consolation prize (currently $100) instead of having to take home the actual zonk. This is partly because some of the zonks are impractical or physically impossible to receive or deliver to the traders (such as live animals or a stagehand wearing an animal costume), or the props are owned by the studio.

He finds her asleep in a fallen tree. Snow is awoken by true love’s kiss, but afterward David zonks out and falls to the ground.

Gameplay proceeded in the exact manner as the English-speaking version, with the same wide range of deals. Contestants vied to improve their winnings without ending up with a Chasco ("letdown"), a booby prize equivalent to the "Zonks" on Let's Make a Deal. Usually a trade was completed with the idiom "Trato Hecho, jamás deshecho" ("A deal made is never broken.") The budget for this version was quite small compared to the English-speaking version of the show.

The show featured contestants selecting a treasure chest or box with surprises inside in the hope of winning large prizes or a cash jackpot. Both game shows, however, also featured worthless or nearly-worthless joke prizes, which Let's Make a Deal called "zonks" and which Treasure Hunt called "klunks." Deal or No Deal does not feature such joke prizes in the US version but does in many international versions. Finally, from 1997 to 2003, Win Ben Stein's Money pitted contestants against an in-house adversary.

Furthermore, Supaplex does not use time limits for solving the puzzles, unlike Boulder Dash. Most objects are identical in behaviour to those in the original Boulder Dash, simply redrawn with a computer hardware theme. Murphy replaces Rockford, who collects objects called Infotrons, which are reminiscent of schematic representations of atoms, instead of diamonds. Instead of dirt, the levels are filled with printed circuit board simply called base in the game's manual, and not lined with brick walls, but with computer chips and other hardware, and filled with Zonks instead of rocks.

On occasion, the Big Deal consists of one of the all- cash prizes mentioned above; at other times, a cash bonus is added to the prizes in the Big Deal to bring the total up to the announced value. On other occasions, the prize consists of "Everything in the Big Deal," which awards the cash/merchandise behind all three doors to the trader who chooses it. Traders who have won zonks become eligible for the Big Deal only if not enough winners of actual cash/prizes volunteer to play. The Big Deal is the only time during the show in which participants are guaranteed to receive a genuine prize.

The enemies are moving scissors, called Snik Snaks, and electrons which resemble sparkling stars. Supaplex introduces a number of new elements that were not present in Boulder Dash, including bugs, pieces of base that randomly cause life-threatening electrostatic discharges, Ports, which limit Murphy's movement to specific directions, and terminals, which set off yellow Utility Disks. Utility Disks are explosive floppy disks and come in three different colors: Orange Disks work like Zonks, but explode when hit or when falling. Yellow Disks do not fall yet may be pushed in any direction, but not pulled (which allows creating Sokoban-like puzzles), and explode when the Terminal is used.

On at least one occasion, the purse was taken backstage and a high- valued prize such as the ignition key to a new car was placed inside of it. Prizes generally consist of either cash or merchandise with genuine value, such as a trip, electronics, furniture, appliances, or a car. At times, a small prize (typewriter, pocket tape recorder, etc.) may contain a cash bonus or a written/recorded message awarding cash or a larger prize to a trader who has chosen it. Traders who choose boxes or curtains are at risk of receiving booby prizes called "zonks," which can be outlandish items (live animals, junked cars, giant articles of clothing, etc.) or legitimate prizes with very little value (wheelbarrows, giant teddy bears, piles of food, etc.).

Several of the boxes also contained booby prizes, referred to as "klunks" (a word coined by Geoff Edwards himself, similar in meaning to that of "zonks" on Let's Make a Deal or "chascos" on Trato Hecho), that had very little value. Upon making her decision, the contestant was not immediately shown what she had won, as the premise of this program was to display (and exploit) the female contestants' emotions. Instead, Edwards engaged the contestant in a comedic sketch, usually involving props, to intentionally mislead the contestant as to what she had finally won. Very often, a contestant would be shown a klunk only to have this lead to a different item, which could be another klunk or a more valuable prize.
