    This original post is Post #1. Whoever posts the 32nd post wins four silver war nickels. The rules are simple. You can only post two times, and your posts cannot be consecutive. If there are thirty posts, you cannot write post 31 and 32. Enjoy...

    You know, if you analyze this contest using game theory, you early posters are wasting your opportunity by making early posts. It's clear that the best possible combination is (30,32), and yet instead of cracking at the 30, or even the 29....you're wasting one of your limited (two) posts early.

    Do you people not even have a simplistic grasp of mathematics?

    Can you not see the futility of your strategies?

    Oh, crap....that was two...............................

    maybe some of us are just intentionally wasting our opportunity to give others a better chance :) oops that was two for me as well ;)

    Well, it's quite obvious that now I'm just breaking the rules to be a wise-guy. I mean, I'm clearly outside the boundaries of this post, and yet, for some strange reason, I keep posting.

    I mean, it's almost like I have an illness of some sort; a compulsion.

    And yet, I still cannot stop myself from hitting the "Post Quick Reply" button.

    Really...I know there is no chance of my winning, yet in spite of my logic and the mathematics, I cannot help myself.

    So, here's another wasted post, making the poor schlub who would've been a 31, into a lucky 32!
