Last night I promised I would tabulate the scores and and whoever came closest to the average would win 10,000 iOTWreport bucks. See the contest HERE.
Many of you cannot follow simple instructions. I can imagine your tax returns are disasters and you get audited annually.
Those who actually gave your futility score were all over the place – from +49 (whohooo!) to -50 (bummer…). Because of that range, the average was actually 9.5.
The closest futility score is……7
ABILGAIL ADAMS IS THE WINNER!!!!!!
Which I think is kind of funny. Since you were born on Nov. 22, 1744, you are 274 years old, but you feel like a youthful 267 year old.
How do you want your reward? Will you take it in sixpence?
Well done, Abigail Adams!
If I were you, I’d want my reward paid in indentured servants.
I didn’t win. Russians obviously hacked this contest.
What contest? My brain is addled. Is there a ‘I missed it’ participation trophy?
Abigail Adams, take it in Gold or Silver only…otherwise the Gnomes of Zurich could devaluate your currency! 🙂
@Doc – Friendly reminder: the Gnomes of Zurich have been playing self-serving games with the market and exchange prices of gold and silver since before any of us were born. (-:
I deliberately threw the contest. I am tired of winning.
Yea well, I’ve met AA and she look 35. I think she cheated with common core math.
AA, ask for it in bitcoins. That will throw them for a loop.
While it was a math contest, overwhelmingly the discussion was “how old do you feel” and for many of us, it was the discussion of that question that was what held out interest

@Jethro: Um, what do you mean, “How do you want your reward? Will you take it in sixpence?”?
The rules specifically state that the reward would be 10,000 iOTWreport bucks. Since iOTWreport bucks, much like Soviet-era rubles, are not convertible into any other form of currency, that is the only way the prize can be paid out.
So what was that you were saying about people who cannot follow simple instructions…?
😉
I think the contest was rigged….I used the number 7 three different ways with several gozindas and a few carry overs, yet I still lost
Math is hard
I was busy last night. Can we start over again? 😀
AA congratulations on your new-found wealth.
Tax return? WTH is a tax return?
For many of us, a tax return is the form you fill out to get your Earned Income tax Credit rebate from the evil racist members of our society.
@larrytheenlightenedliberal: What about reparations? Surely you qualify for those, too.
Or are you a member of the privileged majority?
