[QUOTE="jimmyrules712, post: 285195, member: 10367"]phoenix i just sent you a pm. I would like the silver cert and maybe one of the nickels (I don't care which one, one of the other 2 winners can take one and I'll take the other) that sound fair since I did get the answer first? ;) here is the logic I used to find the answer: I made a list of all the answers given up to when phoenix said someone was 1 away, then I made a list of all answers phoenix said someone was 2 away, then I took note of the hint that no one else up to that time was within 10 cents, and that eliminted some, then I made a list of all guesses made that were odd, when phoenix said the answer was odd. Then I compared the lists and first figured out all possibilities by looking at which numbers worked on the 1 away and 2 away list, then I took out all the even ones. The only possibilities that were left were 1001 and like 7xx or something. From there I just guessed that it had to be more then 800 so I went with the higher number (I made my guess before I noticed phoenix's hint that it was above 1000)[/QUOTE]
