   That was actually a scene that didn't ring true for me.  Kirk (and yes,   
   I do mean the snot-nosed kid in this movie, not Shatner) was too smart   
   to give away so obviously that he had an ace up his sleeve.  He should   
   have been acting nervous but professional, even though he knew he'd   
   rigged it and was going to win.
