Winning Method
1. Winner will be determined by the most accurate count of the number of Applejack Figurines I have in my inventory on [Drawing Date].
2. If nobody guessed correctly, the guess closest from the correct answer will win (a larger guess will take precedence over a lower guess, e.g. if the correct answer is 5, a guess of 6 will win over a guess of 4, but a guess of 4 will win over a guess of 7)
3. 1st prize: The person who guessed the most accurately the earliest will get the prize of: Whatever number of Applejack Figurines I have at [Drawing Date].
4. 2nd prize: The person who guessed the most accurately the last will get the prize of: Credits worth of Applejack Figurines I have at [Drawing Date], valued at 50k per figurine.
5. Examples:
If I had 1000 figurines, and the guesses were: 1 2 999 4 1001 6 7 8 999 998 11 ,
The 1st prize would go to entry #5 (1001) and 2nd prize would go to entry #9 (999)
If I had 1000 figurines, and the guesses were: 1 2 999 4 999 6 7 8 999 998 11 ,
The 1st prize would go to entry #5 (999) and 2nd prize would go to entry #9 (999)
If I had 1000 figurines, and the guesses were: 1 2 999 4 999 6 7 8 1001 998 11 ,
The 1st prize would go to entry #9 (1001) and 2nd prize would go to entry #5 (999)
Hmmm... Isn't Example # 2 wrong?If I understand correctly
"1st prize: The person who guessed the most accurately the earliest will get the prize" means that in case of a tie, the person to have guessed FIRST wins the 1st prize. In this example there's a tie between entries #3, #5 & #9. So the winner for the 1st prize should be entry #3 and not entry #5, shouldn't it?
