You do realize that you didn't explain this very well at all. Didn't even really mention that it was a contest, you said "Form a higher number than '2009' moving only 2 lines".

mclaren05 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Does it make a difference if this is a question or if it is a contest? I mean its actually sounds pretty easy and 211109 sound correct.... The contest seems to end now so..... Lets see if Neowin got it correct...

Japlabot Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I think that the answer is worth $1.27 and if you win, make that $250 for me and $250 for Neowin.

mclaren05 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 So a 250 donation for you and Neowin? Those are your terms. Glad to see nongreedy people :) If you are wrong, would you be willing to PayPal the 1.27? :p (Im kidding about that :p) When you are 100% sure, just give me a "Call" reply :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/719834-form-a-higher-number-than-2009-moving-only-2-lines/page/2/#findComment-590393842 Share on other sites More sharing options...

-T- Member Posted January 10, 2009 Member Share Posted January 10, 2009 23 They're a sham because you rarely ever get through, most of the people you hear on air are fakes. You can keep trying and trying and each time pay that $1.27 or whatever it may be, just to be told that the lines are busy but you were still charged Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/719834-form-a-higher-number-than-2009-moving-only-2-lines/page/2/#findComment-590394746 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azusa Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Form a the highest possible number from "2009" just by moving 2 lines.....5009 and 9009 have been said but they are wrong (I thought it was 9009) 1st line crosses it out 2nd line = higher value Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/719834-form-a-higher-number-than-2009-moving-only-2-lines/page/2/#findComment-590395006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borbus Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Let me guess, you saw this on one of those late night quiz show things. The question is obviously totally ambiguous. The real answer is probably something like 3.7... x10^47... how? Easy.. move two sticks to get: ie. 21,109^11 What those game shows basically do is take a few callers on air when there are not many people calling, then when there are loads of callers they don't take any to make you idiots think that it is a great time to call.
