The Shambles Rewteet contest ended last night. Now I have to pick a winner.
By my count, here’s the people who participated, in the order I wrote them down.
- @DemonGirly
- @GloriaWeber
- @allgeektout
- @Govneh
- @JKMyth
- @TonyNoland
- @bluinkalchemist
- @amandadadesky
- @DaveTheGame
- @filamena
- @davidahilljr
- @tkarakashian
- @ditransitive
- @GameThyme
I’ve numbered them, as you can see.
Here’s how we’ll pick the winner.
After Market Close, I’m going to take the DJI number from here, drop the decimal, and run a mod 14 on it. That will return us a number from 0 to 13. Add one to that number, look at the list above, and that’s the winner.
So, if the Dow closes at 10442, then The winner will be #13 – @ditransitive
Simple, right?
(my brain works in weird ways)
UPDATE: The Dow closed at 10366, making @bluinkalchemist the winner. Congrats!
Are you saying I should indulge in insider trading to influence my shot at winning?
I’m saying you should have 10 minutes ago. The markets close at 4.
And based in the close I’m seeing right now, @bluinkalchemist would win. I’m going to give it an hour or so before declaring that result official, as I’ve seen the number get adjusted from last-minute totals before.
Ok, I’m calling it official. @bluinkalchemist has won the super secret prize pack!
