the larger the denomination, the better chance of winning the round... This is the problem, with your rounds @mrwhatisit. What is the best chance of winning, compared to the least chance of winning?  |

I do know some of you have CACed coins out there; wether or not they play this game is unknown, so thought I would ask... Perhaps I am trying out various different angles to this game, pushing out in unusual directions... So anybody can post if they have a CACed United States coin... |

All I'm saying, is that we have no idea of how you will decide the winner. It's more like "Post Your" and you will decide. No rules no target    |

Well, I will pass the buck off to Keith12 and declare him the winner since he posted a CACed coin, which is a really nice one...  |

Ok, here's my crazy idea: This a Russian 5 Kopecks  Year - 1773 Value - 5 Weight - 51.2g Size - 42mm Only using these 4 numbers of your coin 1 time Via: addition, subtraction, multiplication or division (use these how you like) Hit this target number 2161.491773 x 51.2 + 5 ÷ 42 = 2161.49As always, an exact match wins. Please show your mathI hope that makes sence |

Is this just your opinion or a conclusion ? It was my opinion since no points table was presented by the host, so I assumed all three elements were equal. Keith had 2/3, you had 1/3. My comments are only ever a conclusion if the host does not choose a winner. The host re-hosted, that round has since ended, so it is now moot.  |

1773 x 51.2 + 5 ÷ 42 = 2161.49 Your math is incorrect as you did not follow the order of operations... (1773 x 51.2) + (5 ÷ 42) = 90,777.72 You should have presented it like this: (1773 x 51.2 + 5) ÷ 42 = 2161.49 So, as long as we are allowed to group operations with parenthesis, the round should still hold. |

1976-S 40% Silver Eisenhower dollar Proof  Year - 1976 Value - 1 Weight - 24.6g Size - 38.1 mm If I can use an operator more than one time ... 1976 + 38.1 + 24.6 + 1 = 2039.7 If not... 1976 x 38.1 / 24.6 + 1 = 3061.39 |
