My Dad gave me a little money for my birthday, so I'm going to create a contest.

I've written down a number between 1-1000 (inclusive). Which ever subscriber guesses it or whoever gets closest wins a years extension to their RHP subscription.

Rules:

1 One guess per sub. If you post more than one, the first one counts.

2 Must be a sub as of in. Well, except Robbie who borrowed my lawnmower 2 weeks ago and hasn't returned it. 😠😠
357, of course.

PS I can think of a way to pick a number, from those numbers not already guessed, that has the highest probability of winning. I didn't use it to pick my number.

Just kidding! It was a swipe at her for putting up a list. The "arrows" are obvious.

I'm purely summarising, a good secretary adds no extraneous material. I know my place. This thread belongs to Mr Moose.

I'm not in the least complaining. Thanks for doing it. But it did save some work for late guessers who know how to use the data to optimize their chances.
