Author Topic: Guess my Paypal account balance and win a $50 Amazon giftcard!  (Read 9345 times)

wow what an starfish

Due to the private harassing messages from this user, I will no longer offer a weekly gift card contest.

As for the people who said it is impossible to guess, it is a FREE contest where you have a 100k-1 shot at winning something for free with no risk and almost no time involved.  I was going to do this contest weekly and I am sure over time someone would eventually get it, but it obviously isn't worth the harassment.  Enjoy more interesting and rewarding threads about My Little Pony instead.

He's an starfish because no one guessed correctly?

You guys are pathetic.
No the fact he's not giving proof, and just doing this for attention read this:

"" He actually meant to give away a prize but when someone got close to getting the number (Ijix) or whatever, panicked, ended early and didn't have to give away the card. ""

Hah hahahahah, he's lying, provide proof that you have a. the card or b. show the balance. But this is just a big thread for attention.

as much as people harassing you over pms is wrong, you probably should have been a little more specific in telling us the rules of the game. when you said the exact number, a whole lot of people immediately assumed it was whoever was closest, which was not the case and would have been avoided if you had mentioned it in the op.

You're just as handicapped on the forums as you sound on skype.

He never said he would be giving it to anyone who got close.

he never said he wouldn't
ha

for the record, the question was asked, but jeremie quoted it and yet gave an answer to a completely different question.

$150?

Also, is it whoever guesses it spot-on or closest to if no one gets it exactly?
Cents included.

question:
do you want us to post with cents included, or does it not really matter?

How is the world does "guess the exact number" translate to "whoever's closest"?
the title is even "Guess my Paypal account balance" not "Whoever is closest to my paypal account balance"

Why would he give a $50 giftcard to "whoever is closest". Thats just handicap. A number between $.01 - 500 with the correct answer being 398. So what if the closest number was 467?

You guys a complaining because he is offering a generous prize to whoever can guess the exact ammount. Sure its certainly very hard to guess but you're complaining about something that wouldnt affect you negatively than what you started with.

"when you said the exact number, a whole lot of people immediately assumed it was whoever was closest"

Are you serious right now?  Read what you wrote.  EXACT means EXACT.  Not whoever is closest.  Learn your decimal points $500.00 <--- .00 includes cents.  EXACT.  My god...

when did you ever say the word "exact"

How is the world does "guess the exact number" translate to "whoever's closest"?
um
yes i agree that "guess my paypal account balance" =/= "whoever guesses closest to my paypal account balance"
however "guess my paypal account balance" =/= "whoever guesses exactly my paypal account balance" either.

also, no where am i implying im upset i didn't get anything.

you didn't state EXACT until the END of the whole thing. i'm saying, tell all of us what the rules are from the very start.

when did you ever say the word "exact"
he didn't, but its obviously the case because he said

Sorry guys.  No winners this week.  $398.23 was the total.

When you say just the word "guess" it's always assumed to be the nearest. Not exact, because it's impossible, how many combinations are there possible compared to how many users there are on these forums? Yeah. Talk about fair.

right?you forgot the $
It wastes your time? You should probably get off the forums then.

however "guess my paypal account balance" =/= "whoever guesses exactly my paypal account balance" either.

"Guess how many fingers Im holding up" You can assume than the person meant the exact amount of fingers he was holding up, right?

it's my opinion on what does and doesn't waste my time

10 fingers to 50000 combinations of numbers
sure
