lol, the thing about this is theres some skill involved, not 100% luck. With the safe its 100% luck, maybe not if you can find patterns in the numbers.

I just cracked the safe, i see a very minor correlation between previous results and mine, its very small but worked as i bought 40 guesses and eventually managed it. As regards the above, its a good idea, but i think with the other situation about the guy winning $1,000 and "wanting to remain anonymous" they may be dubious. I cannot see any legitimate reason why i would want to remain anonymous at winning 1000 bucks. But yes great idea, ill get my guess in once its built.

My post has everything to do with this thread. My comment regarding cracking the safe is in relation to the previous post, if my mentioning that is not suitable, then neither is the post prior to mine. Secondly, as regards the winner remaining anonymous in the $1,000 issue, again my views are why would anyone want to remain anonymous, therefore what if the winner of this comp decides to "remain anonymous". People will want to know who wins, otherwise it could be that no-one receives anything. And finally i finished with complimenting you with a good idea for all. I feel that your disgruntled attitude is most likely down to the fact that i said people will be dubious about wether they can actually win $100 or not, when the winner of a previous $1,000 contest remained anonymous. If we are not allowed to post our opinions and have freedom of speach, maybe you should think about removing the forum from your website.
Oh and furthermore, if you are going to pull me up on the relation of my post to the current thread, read through the entire thread again and see how many posts mention other issues, and pull everyone else up. Your only pulling me up because i mentioned the $1,000.

Posted by CunteN: When does this competition start?
We are still under 40.000 posts. So it is still a long way to the 50.000 mark. In the last weeks the forum moved with a speed of 100 to 150 posts per day. So maybe starting at around 45.000 post seems like a good idea.

We haven't decided on everything yet about this competition, but we might make all the guesses available online when we close for new guesses, so it should be pretty easy to see who guessed the right date and won.
I don't know why the previous $1000 winner wanted to remain anonymous. Maybe he didn't want the entire world to know that he won $1000, if he has a pretty unique online nickname or his friend(s) who who he is here?
I didn't mean to "pick on you" if that's what you felt I only brought up your post because it has nothing to do with this particular competition.
But as you mention, freedom of speech (which you actually don't have on this forum, as it's our forum and our rules), but you do have the freedom to decide what competitions you want to participate in, it's entirely up to you
Now back to the topic - if you have any further feel free to send us an email.

Another words, say something we dont agree with and you are in the wrong, lol. Or in this particular case, question the validity of a statement and get warned about it. Makes me laugh, power trip or what. In future i will keep my opinions to myself just incase they dont tie in with what the "admin" also believe.
Apologies if me responding to your post is against your rules. You do have the power to remove my post.
