I laugh at everyone trying 4 digit numbers even lower than 9009....

Id call but its 1.27 the call and I just want to be sure they wont be going to waste.

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".

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 :)

And thanks to all that have helped out. You can consider, since Ill be donating to Neowin, that each of you get a small portion of this since Ill be donating :)

You know these contests are a sham and each time u call it'll take you like 8 or 9 attempts to actually get through. Yet you will still be charged

How can they be a sham? Isnt illegal to advertise something like this?

Damn Quick Reply was right....

The problem it has been reset to 2000....And 2000 is a piece of crap...

Why is the contest a sham? I mean if you get it right, you get the money right?

New one:

Family dinner

5 invites

Prawns: 1500 gr.

Lamb: 2200 gr.

2 Sponge cakes made of chocolate with cherries

60 grapes.

Add up all the numbers.

I get 3767

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

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:

2009qt1hd9.png

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.

    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact.

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output!

      I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...
