Woodstock is ready to Rock!!

  1. Make a comment and add a number in order of the comment's appearance.
  2. Wait for at least two valid comments before making a second comment.
    (This time I will not interfere with the numbers. Do your best.)

There will be five winners:

comment #11 wins -> 10 POB delegation
comment #21 wins -> 20 POB delegation
comment #31 wins -> 30 POB delegation
comment #41 wins -> 40 POB delegation
comment #51 wins -> 50 POB delegation
The game ends at comment #51
delegations are good for one year

What is a valid comment?

  • A valid comment is a comment added to the main post. Comments on comments are welcome, but are not counted as valid or given a number.
  • A valid comment has some number included in the body of the comment. Even if that number is not the correct number.
  • A valid comment is not an automated or notorious spam comment.
  • A second comment is not valid unless two valid comments from other users come first.
  • A comment from one user operating alternating accounts is not valid.
  • A valid comment is a comment that has not been edited.

How to check numbers:

image.png

  • Make sure you count only the valid comments on the main post. Write a number on your comment.

  • Wait for at least two more valid comments to pass and then you can make another comment on the main post.

  • Do your best to number your comment. I will not tell you if your number is right or wrong until the contest is over. Some people might miscount. That doesn't make their comment invalid. It's up to you to do your best.

  • I will check the numbers when the contest gets to #51. Then you will find your prizes. Some will win monster giphys to help them with their math. Others will win POB delegations.

I'm going to watch and see where this game goes. I'm glad to hear you get a little break and also glad to hear that things are better. I had a tough weekend and not much strength left and when I look around POB I think we need something right about now so I brought the yellow bird back.

I've got to teach fourth graders how to ask permission and for sixth graders we are doing a classroom no touch olympics. I'm keeping busy... just a little confused on how people will use four words for wotw... Not four letters but four words!!

Hi @vikbuddy,

These comments are kind of lame. Next time give a call out to a friend who has not participated yet. This is the key to winning the big numbers. The more participants you bring in the more chances of hitting the target numbers. It is the paradox within the game.

Hi @funshee,

I'm doing the final count when I see more than 50 comments and I will only number the comments on paper until I am sure of all the winners. Let these guys come in and mess with the count. In the end I will count only "valid" comments. Even if people can't read well I will still try to be friends with them.

Ouch, I missed that "(edited)" suffix for Comment #22. My count is surely off by at least one. However, that means I can go and edit my previous comment (#8) to move my 23i comment (which is really 22i) down to 21i and take home the fourth place prize, right? (Unless someone else plays the same trick, making my 21i become 20i -- oh, the intrigue).

Yes,

but I think the only one who has the brains to do that trick is @d-pend and he is out in the hills of Tennessee prancing around. The other possibility is I counter your move. Let's see what happens. In the mean time feel free to mess with the count as much as possible. My final count will be at a time after 51 actual comments. Up until that moment you are free to edit any comment you made.

Here this will make you a little tipsy to throw off the count.

Ah, yes, when the referee has the whistle and the game is not over until that whistle blows, then simulating a foul while in the penalty box during stoppage time might not bode well for the one doing it.

I love your analogy. The truth is at the count the time will be stopped at one moment on the blockchain... so good luck. (I am sincerely rooting for you)

Now get some rest @trostparadox.pob^^

It's afternoon here but night there and you probably have classes tomorrow. Sleep well. The game is moving slow. I think you will be safe for at least 6 hours.

Comment #(-529)1/2.

For those who don't know, the square root of negative one is "i" (or "j" if you prefer electrical engineering to mathematics), which is an imaginary number.

As such, the square root of negative 529 is 23i, which is also an imaginary number.

Question for @mineopoly, are imaginary numbers valid, or does that makes this an imaginary comment?

The rules never state :"only real numbers".
Imaginary numbers are numbers. I don't see how The number given to a comment can determine if the whole comment is imaginary or not imaginary.

But just in the case an imaginary number makes a comment an imaginary comment we need to think about this question:

If this imaginary comment counts then do all imaginary comments count?

For purposes of this contest a comment can only be counted if it can be verified on the blockchain.
So if an imaginary comment can be verified on the blockchain then it can be included in the count.

The paradox here is that as soon as the comment is verified it is no longer an imaginary comment but a real comment regardless of the number it has been assigned by the author. The comment will be counted in order of appearance of valid comments.

On a side note, authors are not confined to the use of Arabic numerals. You are free to use any one of the numeral systems included in this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_numeral_systems

You must have been busy in the start of this week but I guess it is still hump day in the US. This has been an interesting game @trostparadox.pob and we are close to the finish. More individual contestants participated because users called their friends to fill in the gaps. I didn't interfere much so it took three days to get close to the finish... but we are not finished yet.

Looks like this is going to be a long night but I don't mind. It's a waiting game and has until the post pays off. If no one wins then in the end the POB stays with me. That's why it is the Greedy Yellow Bird contest. The best thing to do is call your friends to make comments and make sure you count correctly.

It's easy. Just count carefully and comment the number you fall under. only original comments count, comment under those comments don't count. Also after you make a comment you have to wait for 3 other comment before trying another number.

Pob delegations are given to comments 11, 21, 31, 41, 51.

Hello @mineopoly,

They are small purse that can contain essentials like phone, cards, money and probably keys. They are normally shared at event parties as souvenirs. The particular ones I'm working on is to be shared at a wedding coming up in two weeks. Since I'm a bag maker, I normally recieve orders for the purse(sometimes bags) in large quantity. The ones I'm working now is 100 pieces, therefore I had to earlier to be able to meet the delivery date since I have other work to do too.

I always thought the requirements of POB were too little to just:

You have exceeded the requirements and are using your brain.
That is the best way to make sure you win the prize. I also would recommend calling out two friends.

Hey @vikbuddy,

Let's call @offgridlife for old time's sake.


Dear @offgridlife,

This is a game of strategy and luck. The rules are simple but you can use them to your advantage. Basically just make a comment on the main contest post above and add a number of your comment. I will count them later and determine the winners according to the rules of the contest. The delegations of 40 POB and 50 POB are still up for grabs.

Good luck^^

I'm pretty sure she did it on purpose because she did it twice. We are allowed any number on the comment for it to be counted. She used the number in common dialog. Next time I will require the words :

"comment # _____"



I am also guilty of playing around with this rule. It was fun but won't work next time.

You are the winner back on comment #11,

but yes... there was an interesting way of playing with the rules this time. The rules allow any numbered comment so some comments looked like they had no number but they had numbers. Next time I will require the comment to have the format:

Comment # ________

Am glad I won at comment #11, I really had fun all through this game, I hope we could do this as often as we can.

You really did a great job here, following all through and dropping your comments on everyone comments makes the game more lively.

That answer to all things is #42.

42 (forty-two) is the natural number that follows 41 and precedes 43.

Don't give up yet. We are close to comment number # 5 lakh

We just need @diebitch to make a comment and this round will be perfect.

How's the baby?

So does the above comment count? It has a "comment #", sort of ...

A swift edit would remove any doubt, no doubt, ...

The count is finished. Any comment with a number that was not edited or repeated was given a count including my own comments. Next I will send some monsters to people with double comments and edited comments.

Comment #72 (maybe -- I haven't done any cross-checking or counting -- then there's always the chance that someone edits an earlier comment, shifting the sands for everyone who followed them ...).
