Sounds like they should hire one of these carnival guys to tell them
what to look for.

For the ones I've seen, the mark ``wins'' if the carnie doesn't get
within five years of the right age.  The mark ``wins'' often.  But the
prizes aren't worth very much, so it doesn't much matter.  The doctor
may be overestimating the ability of the guy at the carnival.
