Wouldn't an online random number generator work better? Your method is not really random as the choice is decided on when you lock the thread or how you make the calculations. Think it's great that you're now locking the answer threads though.

I disagree, I think the methods being used are ideal as they can be confirmed. There's no way to confirm the output of an online number generator - you'd have peeps believing the numbers were handpicked.

ONE Q uncle RPM - did you confirm that the winners only posted max 10 times? No biggie if not, but it would be good to know. Ta!

...and I've already checked Mickey D in the hope of dsq'ing him and claiming the iPad, but no luck! :(

:D:D

Thanks, just messed tea all over my desk laughing out loud at this :D

BTW: winners selected by using last entry (2012) and adding some of the number combinations (2+012; 20+12; 201+2). A different method will be used next time.

Glad to hear it - is there any real issue with just using a random number generator to pick the winning posts? In the event the method is being changed because of my post regarding the currently used method, did someone brain hard enough to validate or invalidate what I was trying to get at there? If they did and invalidated it, I'd be interested to know what was wrong with it, since I kept feeling I was missing something.

Oh, and grats to the winners :)
