So teams could call in the name MR. MXYZPTLK and ask to buy a vowel. This cost them 250 play-dollarbucks, as would be expected from the 3009 version of Wheel of Fortune. In return, they get a big O, which highly resembled the Wheel of Fortune wheel.
Overlaying the Wheel of Fortune wheel and the Wheel of Death showed that:
- Lose a Turn lined up with I Lose a Turn
- PORE JUD IS DAID lined up with BANKRUPT.
- RAINBOW CACTUSES lined up with JACKPOT.
Spaces on the wheel are in one of the 7 rainbow colors. Using that as an index into the answers for each space on the wheel of death reveals the location of Harold, the ESKIMO NEBULA.
Here is all the data for the puzzle:
