These things must be done scientifically, you need to be logical and systematic. Therefore, I put all the remaining numbers in a hat and pulled out 63. Surely, such a complex method is a surefire way of winning! *Nods sagely.*
Also, big congrats to whoever does win, and major thanks to Caemgen for his generosity in putting on a very cool and fun contest.

Taclobanon: You know there are "57" varieties of Heinz.
I wouldn't say that my favorite console is the Nintendo 64, but there sure were some great games on it.
meh howa bout 60, dixy. (yeah I'm not trying anymore, Sue me!!)
Dangit...you guys are supposed to be out of town, or not paying attention to the clock! I've got 18 hours before my next guess...and all of you remembering to answer aren't helping my odds. GO PLAY THE GAME, AND STAY OUT OF THE FORUMS!!!!
Just joshin'...congratz to the winner, b/c I know it won't get back to me. And what an exciting contest by Caemgen! Thank you sir, for creating a fun time, and donating an awesome prize! xoxo Py |
Still 10hours left for me to post next.
I'm gonna 86 it on outta here in a Toyota Trueno GT-Apex (AE86) with Maxwell Smart (Agent 86) as my co-pilot.

No Winner Yet....
10 numbers left...
Contest is closed to anyone who hasn't already entered. It would be WAY too unfair for someone to walk in now and grab it.
If it gets down to just 1 number left, I will be thinking up a tie breaker. Nobody is winning just because they were the 100th entry.
Current status:
The open numbers left should be:
56 59 68 70 79 85 87 90 93 94
Taclobanon guessed used:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 57 58 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 69 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 80 81 82 83 84 86 88 89 91 92 95 96 97 98 99 100

We are really, really bad at this...
I hope it does get 99 guesses though, just for extra laughs.

Wow, I can get one more guess in! Uh...no pressure or nothing....87 degrees out right now, so 87 is it. Grats to the winner, because it'll be gotten before I get back home!
Uh, yeah.... You two and your bad guesses are one (err, two) of the reasons this contest is taking so long!
Numbers still open:
56 59 68 79 85 90 93 94
(I actually considered stopping this and doing something else once I saw we were down to 10 numbers left but it's just gotten too amusing to see how far it'll go...)
If they're guessing too soon, they're killing themselves if they guess right.
I WILL be checking the posts of the winner to make sure they followed the 24 hour rule... (there is some SMALL leeway but not much.)
If the right guesser violated that rule, they are not getting the prize. The contest will be void, I'll think up some (quicker) contest, and they will not be eligible.
But no, not stopping unless we get down to 1 number left, as mentioned above. If that happens, once again I will think up some new way... I don't like it being a contest of who could just be the quickest to post.
I've got 5 hours before I can post another number - so I may or may not be back to post there. If I don't, pregratz to the winner!

Oh yeah... Congratulations to Bubbawheat!!!! It's about time someone got it! I mean seriously... 94 guesses it took??? *sheeesh*
And just because I like to try to keep everything above board and allay suspicion before it can even be voiced, a screen shot of the PM I sent myself before I even started the contest:
Awesome, thanks so much for putting together the contest!
And I do have a DA account of the same name - Bubbawheat
You, and everyone else who has said, will say or who forgot (or will forget) to say thank you are very welcome.... It was fun to do (for 97.3% of it)and was just my little way of saying thanks to all of you who make this board enjoyable.
I'm a little sad that one of the couple things that would have ended the contest without a winner didn't happen... I was all looking forward to coming up with another one and running it. Ah well, maybe the next time I'm purchasing artz I'll buy an extra and do something similiar again. I've actually got an idea or two I'd like to try.
However, next time I am going to think out the contest a bit more before running it and go over the rules with a second party to try to discover flaws and problems first. For the very most part this ran smoothly but possible problems came to light that could have really put a damper on things. Luckily that did not turn out to be the case though.
Hopefully you all enjoyed this (as much as you could if you didn't win) and congratulations again to both Bubbawheat and Jophial.
Awesome, thanks so much for putting together the contest!

Ok, I sent a note to Taclobanon telling him to expect to hear from you. You can contact him directly and sort everything out. If you have any problems at all just let me know and I'll do my best to solve them
BTW - Do me a favor and send me a PM once you have contacted him and heard back just so I know all is going smoothly....
Congratulations Bubba!! Can't wait to see it!

I will sadly miss the winner... I think I know what it is but I can't gess until tomorrow.
I missed the midnight showing of my guess and took a shot around 3 local time.
So PRE-ratz to the lucky winner.
