Scott, Based on rule #13 I think it's the person that was in the 33rd position at 8:00 AM central time this morning (March 1st). |
There are rules :confused: ;) :p :o :) :rolleyes:

In a very short amount of time, Jake (1952boyntoncollector) has had a substantial number of posts. He gets my vote.

I get a post count increment for quoting a funny post. Later I may post again in the thread to announce that it's not me. |
Thanks Frank
My guess is me.
Thanks, Patrick |
I didn't read all the posts (or rules) but I am guessing myself. Truthfully I am posting just to see how many posts I currently have...

I was not suggesting there were 1 million people in any group of forum members. Let's try to 'splain this to you again. 325 members of the forum (past or present, deceased or alive) have posted enough times to qualify for the "one in a million" classification based on the most recent estimate of the total US population of 325,000,000. 33 members (or really 32 and one half) qualify for the "one in ten million" classification. and can self identify themselves once the winner is identified. The person designated as the winning "One in Ten Million" entry is the thirty- third member of this group by decree, my decree. An analogous question would be to ask what ball player has a lifetime batting average closest to .300. Cobb and many others all have career averages over .300 but would not be the closest to .300. In this contest the member who is closest to the one in ten million cutoff is the one we are looking for. Granted Leon, for example, is in the one in ten million group, but he is also in the one in one hundred million group. I hope this helps. To answer your question, you would win $25.00 divided by the total membership of Net54. That would be less than half a cent which would round off to zero, but perhaps we can find a currency with a lower valuation of coins to accomodate your Pyrrhic victory, so you don't leave empty handed.:D I hope you realize that I'm doing this for Peanuts --- "Good Grief" |
Where my prize be?

I understood what you are suggesting, well. I was attempting to provide a different perspective on the literal words of '1 in a million', since nothing about the thread is easy to read :cool:
Either way, roughly speaking, here is the answer you seek.

Thank you for disqualifying yourself and ruining the contest for everyone else.
There will be no winner. And to add insult to injury you have highlighted the wrong Board member. Over and out. |
I thought I won. I gave you the answer and the member highlighted is the 33rd member with the most posts at the time it was solved.
I honestly didn't want the 25 dollars anyway. Ruined it? You are just mad I crushed your puzzle so easily and you didn't get to have as much fun with it as you thought you would? Good grief is right. |

Thanks. I corrected it. I suppose its better than being at a pooper party.

Reminds me of the Padres back in the mid-1970s. They had a middle-innings relief pitcher by the name of Bill Greif. Every time he'd come into a game, my dad would go "Good grief, here comes Greif"! Steve |

I'm surprised I'm still fourth in total posts, given I've barely posted in the last two years. Come on guys, catch up. |
The way i read it, as someone who used to dabble in sports betting....
250 dimes is $250,000! :eek: From that list posted im 70, :( but ill say its me anyway lol |
There was 1 member who had asked to be deleted completely from the board several weeks ago. Deleting a membership is not something usually done so his membership was NOT counted. The long list above isn't exactly correct because of that but only Frank and I knew it. :)
But yes, Phillip screwed this game up for all members who were playing. It goes with the territory. sigh......However the guess was wrong anyway because of my first sentence... LOL...... |
Boo this man !! You should send everyone 250 dimes a compensation for your
Acts. |
I suppose it really depends on what the definition of a member is. If that person can't login and make another post, then I wouldn't consider them a member.
Just like if you don't pay your dues to your local club, you are no longer a member, you are not getting into your local elk lodge for that meeting. Like people that are banned on the forum are not members or if they no longer have an account, regardless of how that occurred. I suppose I can be made to lose any which way you want to show that I lost to prove a point. :rolleyes: |
I didn't just make up what I said, it is the truth. Daryl (the id string of numbers above the one you thought, Rich K) was the actual 33rd member and Frank and I spoke about it on the phone. I told him at that time. So no conspiracy here to make you lose. You are a loser fair and square.

I will say it is a strange contest to allow "archive" and "archive2" which aren't single members, but rather a collective gathering of posts made on previous versions of the board by all members. Then on the other hand remove one member because they requested to be so they are no longer a "member". Or are you saying that you are including a former member in the list that we can't see? It was a fun idea for a contest but there were too many holes in the rules it sounds like. Just for closure are you stating that 4815162342 really was the 33rd member based on your set of rules? |
:rolleyes:

[QUOTE=bn2cardz;1636773]You can be made to lose by the fact that I said it was Rich Klein previous to your post.[QUOTE]
Fair enough. You would have nailed it, except for that mysterious guy who was a member at one time, but then is no longer a member now that the contest is going, just so no one can figure it out and there is a trick at the end, because that is cool. |
As long as the rules were the same for everyone it it didn't really matter how we counted or who was counted. I told Frank that Archive/Archive2 were being counted and one other member wasn't. This was part of the contest and the same for everyone so it was fair, imo. Yes, 4815162342 3,097. was the 33rd member and is even written on a piece of paper on my desk. It is amazing how people twist and contort a game that was supposed to be fun. No good deed......

Loved the idea Frank... Thanks for always breaking up the days' monotony with a bit of baseball related entertainment and humor. |

Please don't let this discourage you from putting together other contests. Even if there wasn't a prize it was interesting to see just how often people post. |

"and that foot is me"
So what? It was the rule that was made between Frank and I and all members were playing under that rule, whether they knew it or not. Had I deleted the person's account as he asked then the 33rd person was who Frank and I decided it would be. You can call this the double secret rule if you must. :)

In reflection, and under the circumstances, I think we can declare you the winner since it wasn't said in the rules that a member on the list wasn't being counted.
Anyone have an objection to this? Quote:

Wait!!!....so La La Land didn't win?? what happened??

If you are stating someone else would win then I do not object. I don't want to take a prize if I wasn't the intended winner based off your original thinking. On the other hand I wouldn't want to be the person that stops someone else from obtaining their prize. |

Proposal for a new contest/game...
There are currently 1,323,745 posts on N54. Guess the number of posts on March 31, 11:59:59 PM. It would be hilarious...let the shill and last minute posting begin!! Rules of Entry: 1) If you don't have a sense of humor and realize this is all for fun, you can't play. 2) Post your guess and only one edit allowed (like the normal routine ebay contests). 3) All guesses must be in one week prior (by March 24) - or something along those lines. |
Rules were quite clear to me!
Did I win? If so, who do I send the 250 dimes to? Sam Majors ;) :confused: ;)
|
Just read the entire thread to find out it wasn't me! WOW!
|
My name has been written on the table the list was on so I count myself out the equation....

I think the previous contest was rigged.:) Being a known Mason since 1989 and being 33rd on the unbiased computer generated list can't be a coincidence. The number 33 and Masonry together make this a tin foil hat moment.:eek::D |
