Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 05/11/2010 09:38 am OK! Here we go again! I will try not to mess this one up! Slight change in the rules (in red) - make sure you re-read them! We'll see if this is any better. Any suggestions to make the game better - I wanna hear them! 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 from me 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. 1 day will be defined as midnight EST. * Exceptions: (A) If you post a reply that has too many or not enough selections, you may repost with the correct number of currencies. DO NOT EDIT YOUR POST - just repost. (B) You can take a second guess in the same day, but it will be your final answer. If you are wrong - you are eliminated and can no longer play. 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. ****** PREVIOUS WINNERS ******** 1. steve199 / nod2003 2. could be you! This round's prize: a VF 1960D-1MM-001. Not in the most spectacular condition, but still a top 100 RPM! Let the game begin! Edited by Scooby Due 05/12/2010 08:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 05/11/2010 10:58 am Thanks afcop! Does that stand for Air Force cop by any chance? Just curious, I was in the Air Force, stationed in Heraklion, Creete, Greece for most of my career back in the '80's.

steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 05/11/2010 11:10 am Scooby, do you allow duplicates in guesses? Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 05/11/2010 11:15 am Hmmm. Are you back on your USD, USD, USD, USD, USD, USD, JPY kick again? LOL! I'm gonna have to go with NO, sorry. I think that would be too messy for me to keep up with. You're just trying to trip me up again, aren't you?! Report this Post to the Staff

steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 05/11/2010 11:46 am No problem, figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. On the last game, the guesses that had the fewest correct currencies yielded the most information. Think there were 2 guesses that had only 3 correct.

Namachieli Pillar of the Community United States 2120 Posts	Posted 05/11/2010 12:14 pm wow afcop, I just came off active duty myself 10 days ago. Only 5 years though. Btw, I love this game. I keep refreshing the page for the next guess. Keep em coming! Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 05/11/2010 12:20 pm I'm glad you like it Ian. I do too! I just wish someone else would host one so that I could play! LOL! Just kidding! If someone does, I hope they keep the contest count and winner's list going (and maybe some of the rules!) I'm thinking about hosting a Mega-Mastermind with a superior prize - but it would be a doozy and you would earn it! Report this Post to the Staff
Namachieli Pillar of the Community United States 2120 Posts	Posted 05/11/2010 12:34 pm well if I win ill gladly host one. Heck, if the winner doesn't wanna do the next round. I'll do it. I got a few pretties laying around that are doing me no good. Maybe ill go pick up a nice looking basket franklin or something. Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 05/11/2010 12:41 pm That would be awesome and generous of you! My collection and supplies are limited, so I can only host them so often. And my collection is new, so I don't have a lot of great prizes to choose from, but they are so much fun to have. These first couple were back-to-back fairly quickly, and I will probably do a few more before I slow down. Report this Post to the Staff
