+davidcalgary29 Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Oh, wait -- I KNOW!! http://store4.yimg.com/I/candywarehouse_1727_95380044 I actually used to buy these all the time in Ottawa. Who knew they were so popular? Oh -- damn -- this disqualifies me, doesn't it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisjohn Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 This is why we really need an update. That's not how this one works. We all guess until the deadline, then a random winner is chosen from all the people that guessed right. If nobody guesses right by then I suppose it's some sort of sudden death thing.

krisjohn Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 You really haven't read the instructions have you? You get one guess. That's it. See you in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 And if you only get one guess, why should other people be allowed to guess the same thing you already did? Because they don't know if they're right, either. So it's still an even playing field. I guess. Oh right, a guess. Well, I already have Pitfall II... but I'll guess Charleston Chew. That's my favorite. (Best when frozen.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 And if you only get one guess, why should other people be allowed to guess the same thing you already did? That's ludicrous. Do you want some cheese to go with that whine? Unlike videogames, there are a finite number of different candy bar brands available to the consumer. I think bcprs knows, in all likelyhood, many people will guess correctly and therefore the need for a random drawing and only ONE guess each during the week duration. Now for my guess: Mr. Goodbar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keir Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 You got that at WWVG didn't you? Well, just for fun, I'm going to guess Snickers. mmmmm.... Snickers! (there needs to be a lip-smackin' emoticon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oesii Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I don't think the contest is very well set up, but there's no point going on about it further. I'll just sit over here and munch on some cheese. IMO, the contest is setup just fine. Think of it has a random drawing, but to get your name into the drawing you have to guess the right candy bar. So if 20 people are convinced that it's Snickers they all get to be in the final random drawing. Fine and fair contest. Thanks for the contest, bcprs1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Works for me too. A random drawing of everyone with the correct answer -- it's like every morning kids TV competition ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be a better model for explaining it, but that still doesn't mean I have to agree with it. And since I object anyway, I withdraw my earlier guess whether right or not, so please continue on w/o me and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like contests that end 5 minutes to 1 hour after they began. This way, everyone has a week to participate. If no one guesses correctly after a week, I would then clear all guesses and go to sudden death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
