I am assuming Tarun, who had some comments last month. Adheeth, though an early registrant, had none.

12. see below.

13. 72
A little investigative research tells me that both Mike and Yan are 36.

14. Adding together all the deals from the December monthly contest, and adding 20% for those that weren't listed (the 80/20 principal)and dividing by 31 days leaves us with 62 daily deals. Can 80/20 be that far off? I think not and will go with
A 67

That leaves 12. 39/72/67 was the only combination of 13-72/14-67 with Tarun. That leaves 42 and 45. I will go with
12. B 42

Anyone want to try Tarun/45/72/67?

I think we may need to see if we don't have a winner to night if we can cut this down a little.

Maybe make a list of who has answered 1-11 right and let them get a shot at 12-14. That way we can cut down on repeated answers.

Happy Birthday Yan !!!!!

Alright. Yan and I were talking, and we never thought it would go this many rounds. So this is the last official round. If there is no winner in this round, $50 will go to Yan's beer fund / birthday present.

So, I see I caused more confusion with my hints than help. So I'm going to try to be clear here. No one, so far has answered the last 3 questions correctly. And this is what we are looking for.

Please only answer the last 3 questions to win. So only answer questions number #12, #13, and #14 for the final round.

Good luck everyone!

12. a

13. a
14. a

12. 39
13. 72
14. 74

By my calculations, these are the only possible remaining solutions:

12 13 14
c a c
c b b
c b c

Here's my guess:

12. C
13. B
14. B

wait.. CBB was guessed already. And CBC was guessed, too.

I'd like to change my guess to:

12. C
13. A
14. C

12. 39
13. 76
14. 74

(LET IT BE OVER!)

Alright I "think" I have it...

12 C
13 A
14 C

MikeG is 36

http://www.myspace.com/mglozman I think is Mikes Old Myspace account showing he is 36.

Yan is 37 (was 36)

http://www.myspace.com/reedcat I'm 99% is Yans old Myspace account.

By My tally the only combination of A for #13 not used is CAC.

So fingers crossed!

12: c - 45

13: a - 72

14: a - 67

45
72
83

Put me down for

12 b 42
13 a 72
14 b 74

I believe all combinations of A's and B's (no "C" answers) were taken after the first two days. So, there MUST be a "C" answer.

Also, if both co-founders were the same age, then #13 can not be "C".

12. C
13. B
14. A

12. 42
13. 76
14. 67

This should be it!

45, 72, 83

I can't believe it! We have a winner...

With the correct answers:

12. 39
13. 72
14. 74

The winner is Redsoxrokk!

Congrats and thanks to everyone who participated!

Congrads Redsox. Now I see why Solstice didn't win, he asked for the 39 to be changed to 42.

Way to go RSR!

That was a lot of fun, Mike and Yan. A little frsutrating, but fun! Thanks!

Which deal scored 39 votes

Man, did I miss a lot!?!

This thread has 125 comments!!!

Indeed. That's the holidays and getting sucked into amazing deals on Steam. Tons of games were $5 and normally $20. They just had very strange expiration times so I was afraid to post them (12PM EST - 12PM EST -- 24 hours or 9am - 9am PST) I wonder if we can add times into the expiry. That would be interesting and helpful.

Thanks Yan and Mike for a fun way to start the New Year. I hope this is a preview of this to come to our network. Fun contests for prizes other than gathering votes is a welcome addition.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
