Congrats to all the winners!

The list isn't quite what I got, but the total number didn't change in mine.  The winner would still stay the same under my list.

On cablepair's list, RaTTuS is listed twice at 32 and 47.  I only had it at 32.  But I also had DeaDTerra before Plazzman, which doesn't show on cablepair's list, making the total the same.

That was a fun contest. Thanks CablePair for running it all! Congratulations to all of the winners.

It was fun!

ty for the wounder full opportunity to participate in the contest.

Congrats to all the winners!

I believe the list to be correct but I encourage any and all who have the time to double check it - it never hurts to have a second set of eyes

I hope that list is wrong and its actual 81 people because then I win!! otherwise congrats to the winner!

Congratulations to dmcurser, and thanks to Tom for giving back to the community!

oh boy...

Please let me clear up the confusion....

First off let me apologize for not being here to take care of the last week of this contest - Hurrcane Sandy hit NYC and was supposed to be heading upstate - thank God we got lucky and only had minor effects here - NYC was not so lucky as 10 people died due to the storm.

Anyways back to the contest - Please understand - here we have both Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Daylight Time.

Technically it switches from EDT to EST in the beginning of November, so technically we are in EDT right now but in less than a week it will change back to EST

however It is common for people around here to refer to our timezone as "Eastern Standard Time" year round - we just change our clocks by an hour twice a year and don't think about it (especially since now everything is digital it switches the clocks automatically)

This contest has always been chosen by the block that was solved before 11:00:00 PM MY TIME which technically was EDT but for fun lets call it CFT or Cablepair's Fucked Up Time - since I fucked up.


as someone else pointed out - using the first three weeks as precedent you can tell we were using EDT or the newly created time zone CFT

now the last block to be mined before 11:00:00 PM EDT/CFT was:

Thank you to everyone for playing!

I agree, everyone who participated this round and for 4 weeks should get a MMQ =P
They say marketing is the most expensive investment in a business or should be... haha!

I arrived at the same list as cambda in my google docs.

As much as I'd love to win, I got #50 - > dmcurser too.  He used the block before 3am UTC in the past drawings, so it should be - 4 hours.  Also corrected EST to EDT above in your quote, and put it in bold

#204388 - week 3
#203328 - week 2
#202286 - week 1

FPGAs chips will still be worth a lot!

+1. We are just 82 or 83, and FPGAs will go in the dustbin of history when ASICs come out any time from now. I propose that the receivers pay for delivery though.

Unless we can convince Tom to just give away MMQ's to everyone!!

there seems to be no way I can make it so I won ...
even if it was my birthday week ...

Come on...
We will never win!

First of all, I have counted RaTTus twice in my original list. So, according to my corrected count, there were 82 contestants, not 83.
As for which entries are to be counted:
Sounds to me like all responses should be counted, unless duplicate from the same person. No need for "I'm in" and such.


Sounds like the winning number is first picked, and then the winner is eliminated based on rules.

Now, about the EST/EDT issue: if we go strictly by what was written, and read and think in "Legalise" - EST  is UTC-4. If we go by what Tom most likely thought, it's the EDT=UTC-5.

Given all the uncertainties, I'm almost thinking we should agree on the list and the EST, and then have Tom pick one future block for the new draw.

That list looks correct!
I also resulted in that list, spreadsheet below:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Arv_5WJHy_54dEh4U3VNRzhNQndwMHZXeW11NFJHbUE

EST time is UTC time minus 5 ( or 4) hours.

If the difference is 5 hours:
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is the last block mined before 4 AM  UTC:
http://blockexplorer.com/block/0000000000000090cfb456075f4efe71b232442c4664c105da4162ed33d2e9fc

- 5 hours would result into 11 PM EST!

The winning ticket would be #29 -> Odi.
---------------------------------------------------------------

If the difference is 4 hours:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Last block minded before 3 AM UTC:
http://blockexplorer.com/block/0000000000000280fffb2bcb8afd997a8a391076d83120d02264cbe0410e8f71

- 4 hours would result into 11 PM EST.

The winning ticket would be #50 - > dmcurser

It seems like I should take the 4 hour difference.
