1,000 Registered Users Contest WINNER

Page 1 of 3Next

I will admit that this day arrived much sooner than I ever anticipated. Had I made my own guess even a month ago, it probably would have been in May or June. Even on Day 1 (June 30, 2010), if you had told me we'd be at 1,000 on our one-year anniversary, I would have said you were crazy. And here we are, over two months earlier than that.

Anyway, I'll bet you're all wondering when the magic moment occurred and, even more so, who won the prize for selection of the 1,000th user contest posted here: [msg]57647[/msg]. Well, wait no longer! The exact moment the 1,000th user confirmed his/her account was:

There were several close guesses. I would consider anything within a few days of the actual event above a pretty darn good guess. But there's only one winner and he is:

surv8r

Congratulations, David!
:beer: :party: :gift:

Let's further evaluate his guessing strategy, shall we?

Actual event:
Fri, 22 Apr 2011 10:13:16

  • Year is 2011; 2 + 0 + 1 + 1 = 4
  • Month is 4
  • Day of month is 22; 2 + 2 = 4
  • Time is 10:13:16; all digits added up equal 12, which is divisible by 4.

surv8r's guess:

  • surv8r's user number is 4

Coincidence? I think not. 😉

Okay, maybe I'm over-thinking it...

So.... You are saying he guessed correctly within 7 hours?

That's pretty dayum incredible. When did we pick these dates?

EDIT/ADD: I see now that I had CONTESTS toggled off for some reason. Still not too shabby.

Yeah!

When did he guess!

Would have been pretty easy around the 980
Mark to do!

WENDELL...all that math is nice but

Carl's user # is 13 , 1 + 3 = 4 and Carl lost...why is that??

I lost because I didn't have the "CONTESTS" category on is the simple answer.

I don't think I would have won anyway... I'm just not a "WINNER" (Charlie Sheen scratch voice)

And... I had the power of the unlucky number 13 all over me... 😉

Is that enough examples, Paul?
😛 😉

*whew* Good!
:good: Now it's :beer::30

Those last 20 came through amazingly fast. I'm guessing some were holding out to take a shot a being number 1000. BTW, who is #1000?
