SuperLlamel on May 01, 2007
Also, can we guess as many times as we want within reason?

I wouldn't say how close - and I would consult the FAQ for your question. ;)

mcd on May 02, 2007
Totally off-topic, but I have to say it cracks me up seeing screenshots of familiar websites taken on a Windows computer. I still can't believe that MS has yet to figure out smooth font rendering on the web. :)
mattdetails on May 02, 2007
most definitely off-topic, and believe me if I had a choice, windows wouldn't be it.
dishg on May 02, 2007
Wow, are there any more contests coming up? that was great and congrats to Debbye... =)
I did do some sort of 'calculations' but I guess I fell short because no one would really know how many deliveries you made (only 3 trade histories for each user). Anyway, it was fun, thanks.
mattdetails on May 02, 2007
dishg - I've already started some new ideas. Trying to line up some more sponsorships to cut the cost - but I think the next one will be doubly -fun ;) ;)
dishg on May 02, 2007
sweet, looking forward to it =)
MiCCAS on May 04, 2007
