Parklane - looks like it might be a while..  Not a can o' worms, Wheezy, it was a good observation. But I notice nobody has commented on the solution, and nobody else piped up from the peanut gallery with guesses  Quote:

Peanut gallery, PEANUT GALLERY!  Humph!  I've been too busy to get back into it for the last couple days, hope to take up the gauntlet again soon.  Just as long as wheezy doesn't win it in the meantime! Your solution seems OK to me, I'm not sure about the re-shuffle though, you mean we gotta go through all that again?  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Peanut gallery = anyone who hadn't spoken up to guess this whole time, not you Nancy!  Quote:
Your solution seems OK to me, I'm not sure about the re-shuffle though, you mean we gotta go through all that again? Not nearly as bad.. no need to guess the countries and such Days 11-1 will just be position guesses, with the winner taking the next day's coin. So if you guess the positions for the 11, you'd win the 11th coin. Then they get reshuffled and guess the positions to win Day 10, and so on. It will get much quicker as we go. Probably around day 6 new entrants will be off, and then for day #1 you gotta guess the year to win it |

Just added this to the main topic: Quote:
Update: Day 11 through 7 will have new participation ended when half the positions are guessed. Day 6 through 1 will be closed to new participants, so if you want to try your hand, get in early. For the Day 1 coin, a correct date of the coin will also be necessary to win. and Quote:
Current status:
New participation for the 12th day coin is now closed. Current participants will continue until the 12th day coin is won. At that time, participation will re-open for the 11th day coin. |
