Logic Contest

[Fewski]

10NP$ to enter, no limit to the amount of entrys (2 Entrys = 20NP$)

Question: What is the largest possible number you can write using only 2 digits - just 2 digits, nothing else?

Please pm me the answer and send me the 10NP$.

Contest ends on Wednesday (15)

Winner gets 60% of all NP$. Incase of a draw, the price NP$ will be split.

 

[ashaw]

you pay 10 NP$ and 60% goes to the winner = 6 NP$ per entry... when he posted there were 3 entries which equals 18NP$

Currently the pot is at 18 NP$ (I made a mistype in my pervious post)

The person who gets the correct answer will win 18.

Ooppss sorry I posted the wrong quote!! Lol!!

Here it is..

Per Entry is 10 Np$

So far there are 3 entries in the pot so a total of 30 Np$

Then Fewski said 60% will go to the winner

So 60% of 30 Np$ is 18 Np$

He just made a mistake in his math as he admitted.

that's it!

---By the way fewski pls update us with the pot!!

good contest fewski

I'm still confused about this contest. How does anyone make any money unless 40% of the people get the answer wrong?

 

[Dwayne]

i think 60% out of 100% goes to the winner and 40% goes to the contest starter?

 

[Fewski]

The pot is currently at 36 NP$

I'm still confused about this contest. How does anyone make any money unless 40% of the people get the answer wrong?

If you get the correct answer, you win some NP$, whether is be all the pot or part of it.

You have to hope the other people don't guess it correctly. If you think about it, it has a better chance than some other contest which only 1 person wins.

Okay, I'm probably thinking way too much into this thing... but you've got my guess and here's 10NP$

 

[Fewski]

Recieved it...

Pot is at 42 NP$

 

[superprogrammer]

NP$ sent and PM sent

 

[Fewski]

Recieved it.

Pot is at: 48 NP$

 

[Fewski]

Pot: 48 NP$

Winners: 7
Losers: 1

Winners recieve: 6.8

Sorry all, I thought it would be a contest where more people got it wrong.

I'm going to refund all of your 10 NP$ back as this contest was to have people win NP$, not win the contest and lose NP$.

:tu: Aww.. no worries! Good try though! :tu:​

 

[Sergio965]

So..what was the answer?

Either:

99
22
19

Not sure...think it's 99 or 22...or 19 :p

 

[Fewski]

I just refunded everyones money.

The answer was 9^9 (9 to the 9 power) Which would equal 387,420,484


Everyone got the correct answer but 1. That is why the pot ended up so small.


Should I make another one of these contest, but a harder question? :cy:

 

[ashaw]

yes... make another one fewski.. cool contest. make a hard one.
