I'd like to pick 756, please.  Retroactively.





Seriously...it would be fair to pick again until a number is chosen that someone actually picked.

Otherwise you'll have over a thousand angry Arfcommers screaming for your head!

Geez, how'd you figure that out so fast ?

If it's correct, then a run-off it is between those four fine individuals.

So, next step is for those four folks to pick another number, post the one number and one number only here, without edits, and I'll hit the green button one more time.

Mark,  

It is your contest (thank you very much btw!!), but I just read and re-read your rules and nothing is said about a "run-off" if a number is selected that no one has claimed.  It isn't addressed at all.  Wouldn't the equitable thing be to re-draw a new number?

Strategically, the best number to pick would be 500, because you have a better chance of being closer to any other number from 1 to 1,000.

I concur, plus, it will make it go faster and we can get on with things.

I hit the green button again and it said ...


915


That wasn't the number I was hoping for.  You were supposed to pick 513.  I guess you didn't get the hint.


Seriously, thank you so very much for your graciousness and generosity!

Runoff again, it seems.


So, again, we're deciding how to do this for all of eternity ... what about immediately giving them a number in order that they posted ... say dernhumpus posted first (1) and sleepercaprice1 posted second (2) ... we tell the number generator to pick a number between 1 and 2 ?

ETA - I'm gonna need a nicley worded set of rules for next time as from next month on, no one gets quarter if they screw up.

It is your contest and entirely up to you.

That idea sounds fair, since either way the two winners have a 50/50 chance of winning now, regardless of the numbers they choose (or are given).

Sounds like a good idea, and we/you don't have to wait around until the people who need to pick numbers sign back on and do anything.  It's just cut and dry.
