Guess a Number between 1 and 100

[LeadWithTweed]

19, because you know, this seems like a productive and scientifically rigorous way for me to return to this forum after a year...

Technically we were only on 1 guess per person. Some of you are on like 5 and 6 guesses. I'm going to allow 3 guesses per person so if you have that already any additional guesses wont be counted past the first 3. Anyone who only has one guess has 2 more or 2 guesses one more. Anyone coming on new has 3 total guesses. I will say nobody within their first 3 guesses has guessed it correctly, but also doesn't mean nobody after their first 3 hasn't guessed it correctly. There are still 69 numbers available to choose from which makes me wonder why in tarnations would anyone choose the exact same number as the person just one or two posts ahead of them. Seems like an awful waste of a guess

Ok, my 2nd & 3rd guess is...
31 & 7

[XSteveO]

There is a strategy to this guessing business.

[Ixist]

Ha, I think it's 100 then, since you put a monkey at the end, and you always talk about a 100 monkeys working there

[fdesa12]

I already tried 100. That was my first guess. If I had known about the 3 guess limitation, my strategy would definitely have changed :\

[XSteveO]

Ahh rules! I hate them too, but I did say 1 guess per person right from the get go. I went to 3 only to give everyone who already surpassed 1 a chance again

[zombie]

My 2'nd and 3'rd guesses:
45
50

[Quicksilver]

Eleventy-one! No, wait, cancel that ... If I knew how many successful mixes you've made, that would be my number guess. Second would be how many you've successfully brought to market. How have you done SteveO? Whether those are the correct numbers or not, now I'm curious! How many successful mixes now under your belt? And my apologies in advance for the thread hijack...

Cheers,

Quicksilver

P.S. last guess would be 99 ....

[XSteveO]

Welcome back. I have no idea how many mixes I've made, but 99 isn't it

[r3mpuh]

My second guess will be: 43
My third guess will be: 28

[galacticfish]

39 ?????
can you tell us if its even or odd pwease

[XSteveO]

That would make it to easy, but I can tell you 39 it isn't. One more guess

[RTBoss]

My last guess is 4.

[XSteveO]

I'll be adding more guesses soon

[sexnificant]

Number 9

[elvin.tan77]

2nd guess is 5.

[XSteveO]

Did I mention there was 3 places? Didn't think so, but congratulations you just took 3rd place and another guess still to go

[Excalibur]

my guess 8

[XSteveO]

you get two more. Good luck

[Pheroboss]

my 2nd guess is : 10

[Pheroboss]

and 3rd is : 11

[XSteveO]

There will be some more guesses coming up. Hang tight

[sexnificant]

well my numbers are 19 - 31 - 28

last bet

[XSteveO]

Only 19 and 31 will count as you already used a guess, but when we do add more guesses soon enough 28 will count towards that.

[Sweetpea~]

44
77
11

[XSteveO]

I like your thinking but no cigar. Hang in there, I'll release another three guesses soon enough

[NeverGiveUp]

Well I'll use 2 of my guesses to hit ones people already covered with their over 3 guesses:

21
35

[XSteveO]

I like your strategy, but didn't hit this time

[XSteveO]

2nd guess is 5.

So there are three prizes, because 1-100 are pretty steep odds with first one guess and then three. I only intended to give one guess per person to start, but so many people already had 2 and 3 I upped it to three guesses (where it currently remains). #5 was the third place prize and so elvin.tan77 just won a bottle of oil. Best part about it that was only his second guess and he still gets his third.

Congratulations elvin.tan77

[elvin.tan77]

WOOHOOO! TQ XSteveO

[KateD]

Congrats Evil tan!

[XSteveO]

We got two more prizes left. The grand prize and second place.

Numbers picked already (only counting the 3 guesses you are allotted). I won't swear that I got them all, but I'm pretty certain this is all of the already chosen numbers.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,13,16,17,18,19,21,22,25,26,27,28,29, 31,33,35,39,42,43,44,45,50,64,67,69,70,71,73,77,83 ,86,96,99,100

There are still a lot of choices to be made and remember three guesses per person. Any guesses over that will not count until the next round of guesses are awarded. So if you chose 6 guesses the first 3 are used on this one and then each subsequent guess applies to the next round. Even if your one of your guesses were correct, but outside the allotted 3 it wouldn't count until you were given more. Hope that makes sense and I believe it to be the fairest way to do it. Not just that but your boosting your post count too

[Quicksilver]

Well, I'm partial to 37 .... As a non sequiter, Steve, google "c60 buckminsterfullerene rat study owndoc" the results may interest you....
