Originally posted by JS357No, but if you're eliminating through hints numbers less than 1200 seems to reason that you'd eliminate even numbers too. Who's to say a guess of 1199 wouldn't be "closest to target"?
Did he say even numbers that are closest to the pre-selected number won't count as wins?
Plus you do realize GB hasn't really picked a number, he just made the hints to eliminate 70% of the field so they'd post another guess.

Many have posted their picks in our follow-on Christmas Contest (with a slightly modified, subscriber and non-subscriber format).

Please clarify. With the new limits you set, there would be 1,223 potential choices, not 600. Are you eliminating all even numbers?
NOTICE TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Today four contest hints were disclosed. Gist of it is that the pre-selected winning number hides somewhere between 1,200 and 2,423. It's also an odd number. Net, net there are approximately 600 possible choices (1,201 to 2,423). And, so, all players ae encouraged to review their picks and to revise them for whatever reasons you may deem necessary.

What are you trying to accomplish?
Some of us are wondering if you are obsessive-compulsive enough to be running contests like this one. 🙂

The clues were great, Bobby. I think you should have more.
Do I have to sift through this thread? .....
Oh, heck - I'll stay with 2001.
The whole 'clues' thing just added a bad dimension to this thing, where the brainier posters will have an unfair advantage.
UGh .... still another 7-8 weeks away...

in the stipulated option they choose. Sorry to disappoint. The illness you allude to is on Monk's Reume, not mine. Thanks for stopping by.
P.S. Please remind Your "Some of us are wondering... " buddies to get their picks in.
