I've decided not to celebrate "pillar milestones", it's just fun to have a contest whenever!
But, if you want to call this my pillar contest for my upcoming 1,000th post, then OK,
and since my 500th post was geared more to youngsters, we are going to play a game called mastermind.
Except, instead of numbers or colors, we will use currencies!
Here is the list I've chosen (from my Forex account - no offense if you favorite currency is not on here):
AUD Australian Dollar
CAD Canadian Dollar
CHF Swiss Franc
EUR Euro
GBP British Pound
JPY Japanese Yen
MXN Mexican Peso
NZD New Zealand Dollar
SEK Swedish Krona
SGD Singapore Dollar
USD US Dollar
XAG Silver (oz) *I know these are commodities, not currencies, but since I can trade
XAU Gold (oz) *them in my Forex account, they're valid. (Plus, it's my contest!)
//From this point forward, for the sake of not having to type currency/commodity repeatedly, EVERYTHING will be referred to as a currency.//
For those of you not familiar with the game:
Someone (in this case, me) selects 7 currencies and arranges them in a certain order (NO duplicates will be used!).
The players (y'all) - yes, I'm from the south, try to guess which currencies and in what order.
After each guess, you will get clues as to how many are correct in total, and how many are in the right position.
But, it's up to you to figure out which ones!
Let's take a test run:
Let's say I've chosen: MXN, JPY, XAU, USD, CHF, GBP, EUR
And the first guess is: AUD, CAD, XAU, NZD, GBP, SGD, XAG
Then the clue would be 2 right in total (XAU and GBP) and 1 in the right position (XAU).
But, again, all you will get is 2 correct, 1 in the right position. You have to figure out which is correct and in the right place.
One guess per person per day, or otherwise it will be solved this afternoon. Although, if there are enough players, it can still be solved in a day.
That's why I chose 7 to make it last a little longer. If it does get solved too quickly, we may expand the list and the choices in the future.
You cannot go back and edit your post. Once you submit, that is your answer for the day.
I hope you like this game, and maybe someone else will use it again in the future.
It is really fun and is a good exercise for the brain.
Oh yeah, the prize: The first one to post the exact currencies in the exact order will get this nice set of 1955PDS Roosies!
(Oops, didn't realize I posted it twice!)
