I guess that means the rest of us are insane, we're doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

No arguments from me on that score!

this forum doesn't seem to let us write invisibly anymore
where's byeordie when you need him for advice?

 

[DeletedUser110195]

Like this? Maybe not invisible but cloaked for sure.

close, but you used to be able to type in a precise colour code to match the colour perfectly before they revamped the forum style

Only thing I could think of would be to post a comment, screenshot it, then use paint to copy the background color and write it again in paint with this color, then edit and upload that image file.

still wondering whether I'm a year late for this comp

the things you do when you cant get into the game .....

so I have to be within 5 mins of the random time... Does that mean this post has a 1/2016 chance of winning?

1/5040 chance for every post, it's within 2 minutes of the chosen time.

 

[DeletedUser108047]

Clearly failed comprehension... and now wondering whether I'll fail stats.... so this being my 3rd post means I have a 3/5040 chance? Surely more drivel like this and I'll improve my odds

That's right, post all the nonsense you can think of, adds to your chances and increases the silly

only 1440 mins in a day, and within 2 mins either side of the time - so i don't think the odds are as high as Dane makes them (i.e. better than he says) but no idea how to work them out myself

60(seconds)x60(minutes)x24(hours)x7(days)/120(seconds)

Then you get the odds for each post being the one chosen.

 

[DeletedUser9168]

why seconds, when it is to the nearest minute?
the day you posted doesn't matter either - last week a winner could have posted at 18:10 on monday, or 18:10 on friday, or....
so i think the odds are 4/1440 all multiplied by the number of unique guesses you have - but that doesn't take into account the fact that a spot-on guess would win instead of a guess 2 mins away.
