Form a higher number than "2009" moving only 2 lines

[Mathachew Veteran]

I had 211109 using the same method

Ah, there we go:

[mclaren05]

These BTW instead of lines, are matches

But I guess you can make

211109

Anything else?

Neowin is usually good at finding this stuff....

Thats why Im themted to call....

Its 8000 dollars....

[mclaren05]

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".

[mclaren05]

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...

If you win, you have to give me a cut because I was the one who came up with that answer :D

I actually went thru the thread again and did saw that you posted that result first :p

In all seriousness, if you are SURE this is the correct answer, I will PayPal you 500 (Hey Im poor and problably need it more than you do :p)

Just confirm it for me and Ill make the call.

[Japlabot]

I think that the answer is worth $1.27

and if you win, make that $250 for me and $250 for Neowin.

[mclaren05]

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 :)

[Japlabot]

Call :)

[mclaren05]

Call :)

Thank you :)

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 :)

Chucks...

Gotta wait a half hour it seems :s Then this contest will be back.

No doubt Ill be back in a half hour more or less.

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...

[sundayx Veteran]

28118 can be done :p

[mclaren05]

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

[mclaren05]

And my answer is wrong so Im waiting on Quick Reply :)

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

[BlaqMale]

211109

[Azusa]

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

[Borbus]

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.

[JJP]

lol, damn, you spoiler! i was gonna try it..

[sundayx Veteran]

1st line crosses it out

2nd line = higher value

I lol'd.

[Japlabot]

And my answer is wrong so Im waiting on Quick Reply :)

did you get the correct answer?

I agree with the Sham statement though

[mclaren05]

No. It was late and went to bed.

This was a intresting exercise :p
