The Official "Unofficial Warmoth Drawing" Rules Thread.

It will be set up in advance, it will be sometime next week. I want everyone to have time to get there numbers. In the event it goes over 199 we will use the Modulo of 200....google it but in essence it will be the multiples of 200. example 001 201 401 601 801 are all equal to 001. All computers have a built in sci calculator with a "Mod" function to use it just type the number that get picked....say 378 you would type into the calculator

378 Mod 200 = 178


Because 1000 is evenly divisable by 200 every number has that same chance of coming up. This was true at 125 and is why we bumped it to 200

Ken

So it's basically the remainder of division by 200?  For example if the daily number is 523, 200 goes into 523 two times (2 X 200 = 400: 523-400 =123) with 123 remaining, so the Modulo would be 123.  Right?

that is exactly right

We're doing this evening's number, yes?

C'mon guys! Can't wait anymore! Roll the dice!!!! I'm going to win, anyway!!!!

+1
I want someone to win already. Though it would be fantastic if I won, I would still be happy if someone else got it just so I can stop thinking about this raffle. I've got a job that requires my attention as well.

OK we will do Monday January 18th's EVENING Drawing. The CA lottery draws at 6:35pm PST. Everyone has there numbers.....So now we let the state of California decide who gets a brand new sweet ax. The best of luck to everyone.

 

[hannaugh]

Why are we waiting until Monday?  All the tickets are sold. 

 

[CouchSpud]

I think it's because we have to follow the CA lottery.

 

[hannaugh]

So, why would that affect anything?  You have to wait until the next day before they post the number anyways. 

 

[Death by Uberschall]

I think it's online almost immediately after drawing.  :icon_scratch:

 

[bbl4ck]

Not positive about California, but here in Arizona it is online almost immediately.
I would think CA would be likely be the same...

 

[hannaugh]

Either way, I don't really see why it matters.  But whatever, if you guys want to wait. 

 

[ocguy106]

Why are we waiting until Monday?  All the tickets are sold. 

Purely suspense factor...I never win these type of things so I am in no rush but I think the extra little tension will add to the excitment!

 

[ocguy106]

I am pretty sure they will have the numbers posted pretty much immediatly after the drawing. But Again I just want to give everyone a chance to see there numbers and check out the link to the CA lottery and get comfortable with everything going on. I wanted the numbers to be posted well in advance of the actual drawing so everyone would know exactly when the drawing takes place and be ready for it.

etu hannah?

OMG people relax. Lets not piss off the guy hosting this whole thing,   Lets let Hannah or line6 host the next one

Good grief people, Monday, 2 days away.....Re Fricken Lax. I am embarrased for the both of you

 

[hannaugh]

:laughing7:  You're embarassed for me for asking a question?  I wasn't hounding the guy, I was just curious.  Why do you always assume everyone is being aggressive? 

 

[Mor Paul]

So, anyone want to hack the California Lottery Site?
:laughing7:

(DISCLAIMER: I'm kidding.)

 

[CrackedPepper]

Just testing my newfound modulus knowledge:

Today's evening lottery pick was 449.  So that means 49 would've won if we did the drawing today.  

 

[hannaugh]

Yep, Mr. ErogenousJones I believe.  That's right, right?

 

[mullyman]

Hannaugh, you would probably hate me then. I was thinking he should wait until next Saturday so everyone involved has ample time to get their numbers etc... Monday seems awfully quick to me but whatever. 6:35pm Monday California time translates to...........11:35am Japan time.....Tuesday. DAMMIT!!! I'll be in class. Man, that is going to be the longest lesson in modern history.
MULLY

Best of luck to everyone involved. I'll be happy no matter who wins!​

Guys, I am well retarded when it comes to numbers. 2+2 is a given. I don't understand this MOD crap. Can someone explain this in plain English? Act like you're trying to explain it to someone that is like 4 years old. Seriously, even with a simple explanation I probably still won't get it. I'm not being uppity, I'm just curious as to how this MOD works. My curiosity actually has nothing to do with the raffle.
