jbuck, in addition to the duplicates, there are a couple of invalid guesses in there...unless I missed a rule change.

Good catch, Steve!

I will let eaglefoot and wolf-n-wa slide this time, only because it does not affect the outcome.

I also corrected Afcop13's guess.

Is Moe going to poke his head in here in time to salvage some points?

I won't take his five points away. I know it is a rule, but it is also an honest mistake I think.

I have considered removing that rule and just locking duplicates into five points.

Hey, if I can mess up (but not seeing what you saw), then anyone can.

Comments?

I certainly don't have a problem with dups getting 5 points, since it was an attempt at participating during the round.

Ya mistakes happen and as long as its clearly stated that duplicates are not allowed then there should not be any intentional problems.

What happens if 2 people post the same guess at the same time? Unlikely but possible.

Oh, you mean making it so someone cannot change their answer if they duplicate another? Why not allow fixing dups, like now, but if it remains as a duplicate at the end of the round it only can get 5 points?

The $20.50 and $21.50 guesses would be rounded up to the next dollar, correct? If they placed their guesses before the $21 and $22 guesses, eaglefoot and wolf should actually have the guesses that count.

( edit ) wolf's and eaglefoot's guesses were placed AFTER the rounded guesses...so they become duplicates at $21 and $22.

Whichever post ends up higher in the thread was placed first.

That is what I meant; I just want to remove the "no points" part of that rule.

I am content to just leave them as it is. As you will see in the next few minutes, it does not matter. (more on this in a bit).

What you guys do not see is the complete time stamp of the post (seconds). The forum sorts them accordingly. The "higher" post is, as Steve has said, the earlier post.

Done.

Since all of the bonus-point eligible guesses have been taken, I am going to post the results in a few minutes. If anyone comes in before 6PM saying "What about me?" I will give them the five points they would have received.
