So Dr. Don, will the contest be posted at a consistent time on the Thursday the week before the game? I was anticipating a midnight posting but as you said you could not wait that long and posted it early. If you have a consistent time we may be able to crash the server with all of us trying to get on at the same time.

Here is what I usually do, 1 more:

1. When I have determined the winner, I announce it at the end of that game's contest.

2. Then after I post the winner of a game, I work on starting the next game ASAP after that.

3. So be alert, anytime after a game is over.

If you are going to require that people be alert to play your game then the majority of people here will be eligible to play.

I am glad to see that you are alert. That is more than I can say for myself.

I never said I was alert. Just awake and lazy. Speaking of lazy...When I was an undergrad taking a Psychology course, we were assigned one week to prepare a report on "Prove that you exist". It was to be double space. I turned in a one sentence paper, attached to my copy of my tuition/fees statement. I said, emphatically,


"I

pay

tuition,

therefore

I

exist!"



Guess what? I got an A on it...I proved it.

Several students turned in reports that required hours and hours of psychological reasearch and bull$hit requiring several pages.

The Prof used mine as as example when he told the class: "It's not how much you say, it's what you say."
 




Thanks for sharing that with us. I really enjoyed it but I am not sure if it was your intellect or laziness that got you your A. But an A is an A unless you're a Buddhist. In that case an A could also be a B.

Laziness that required very little thought, but it worked. It's not how much one says (wren), it's what you say. (wren)

Is that a buddhist thing you just did there? That reminds me of a couple of koans. "If wren moves his lips does anybody hear him?" Second one is a story about Two monks were watching a flag flapping in the wind. One said to the other, “The flag is moving.”The other replied, “The wind is moving.”Huineng overheard this. He said, “Not the flag, not the wind; mind is moving.” If it was about wren the answer to the koan would be nothing is moving.
