Third Time's The Charm guess the price of Silver to win Titanium contest (Week 3)

Post by BeNotDeceived »

Welcome to Week 3 hiding down here =))

imgbb is set to delete the top invisible image in two days; #-o another experiment #-o

Aiiviis cool user name prompted me to reveal some of my secret ways of dealing with my plethora of computer files, emails, etc.

spcr is spacer with the vowels removed; this at times works great to create unique search terms.

After another set of experiments, I began appending ii, iii, iiii, or iiiii to my folder/file names.

immediate information through immediate infinitely incredible & important information. :p

Hash tags work, but are ginormous and other special characters won't search well, so is being the smallest letter was the least offensive to the eye. Now instead of browsing complex and confusing directory structures, I just search my appended is keywords. :ymparty:

Search Google for Invisible image and https://ezgif.com/ to resize

iis are one way to space-out your posts if they're too crowded. 16 pixels seems the defacto minimum imgbb likes and any width over 800 won't post.

Drats, you foiled my plan. Or was that reverse psychology I was using there? :-? :-? :-?

$16.74 again. Because manipulation.

Naming a folder BILLii might be a good way to access bill stuff for somebody named Bill. Bill's folder may reside in a hierarchy of folders by city, state, etc. Searching billii is easier than #bill because no shift key is required.

1) Bet ya can't guess the destination of this package?

Tracking number: CJ159522282

2) In what realm does Bill equate to Whiskey?

First correct answer to the either question wins one bonus ounce. Image

USPS will reveal the answer to question #1;
so first to post it wins, if no amazing physic doesn't guess correctly first.

Answer to question #2 in next weeks OP, if no one guesses correctly this week.

Step by Step on the Road to Joy by GA that probably said on numerous occasions that he had whiskey, arrived in my inbox a few moments ago.

Silver wins! :ymapplause:

Now he has 2 of 3 wins needed to score a pound and a bonus ounce thanks to a timely assist by President Uchtdorf.

The bid-box shows 16.23, but the graph reflects 16.235; what's with the half penny?

Why round down, not up?

Makes me think of the effect of our actions versus those done on our behalf. 3248:1 or 0.03% is about what we contribute to our salvation versus our Savior's sacrifice on our behalf. 16.24 is an exact match relative to the mystery contents of Q1 ... another weird deal, albeit rounding up instead of down. Maybe that's close enough. :-\

The price was all over the place this week. Anybody could have won. My guess certainly wasn't very close.

Weird that it came in so close to $16.24; who bid's half a penny? :-\

Image

Mystery package of Q1 has 16 and 24 tile Sudoku stuff. Image

The question #1 package was sent based on a suggestion from a recruiter for freelancer. com and now 16 & 24 match within half-a-penny. It looks to circumnavigate the globe on it's way to an exact match for this contest type thread. Things keep getting stranger and stranger, hopefully in a good way. @-)
