I wonder how many Total Messages Read JordanElek has?epayps2

You don't want to know....

But if you must:

[spoiler] Total Posts: 9869
Total Messages Read: 1,091,593 [/spoiler]

If I counted all the times I've had something to say but someone else already said it, my post count would probably be doubled. Include the times that I've written entire posts then deleted them because I realized that I'd be wasting people's time, and you could triple that number. ;)

It's like going for a cholesterol test and being sad you didn't get a high score.

Meh. Figured it out immediately. I was all excited about that self satisfaction, too....

No, I figured it out quickly

I didn't say a LOT of self satisfaction, it's late, it's more snack self satisfaction

Pete Polyester is a used car salesman. He sold half his cars plus one more to his first customer of the day. To the second customer, he sold half the remainder plus one more. To the third customer, he sold half the remainder plus one more; and to the fourth customer, he sold half the remainder plus one more. Pete was now the proud salesman on an empty car lot. How many cars did Pete have for sale at the start of this fantastic day?

It's 30. The answer is 30.

Best to work backwards.

hey! hello! im new at this thread.. so first of all i will introduce myself :D i read a lot of introductioins in the first pages of these thread they are preatty cool.. i also read the christmas list thing you where talking about a long time ago..

well- im Fernando Villegas and unlike most of you here.. im Mexican :D and i live in Monterrey(thats why my grammar SOME TIMES isnt very good:P) im 15 years old turning 16 on july.. i'v been a member of gamespot for like 2-3 months now.. hehe im preatty new, and 100% of my posts have been in the wii forums!! (with exception of the blog posts).. ok now some courious info: I hate Mexican History, World history or any other kind of history. I suck at geography. I hate sea food. I like to play video games, i specially enjoy nintendo games, i suck at any FIFA game, NBA game, or MADDEN game.. but i enjoy playing FIFA with my friends.. im VERY competitive in SSBM(future brawl), halo, ping pong, tennis, and in almost everything in my life.. - I have a ping pong table (got it for chrismas) and i really enjoy beating my cousin.. he is living in my house for know, hes staying for 3 years, and he is 15 years old turining 16 on april.. so we get very, very, VERY competitive playing ping pong almos every day. i like to be with my friends just fooling around, playing videogames, going to parties, going to the movies, and most of all i love spending time with my girlfriend, im allways thinking about her.. bad thing my grades started dropping scince im with her (i just can't help it!! :cry:)..

im almost allways looking into the future on the gaming part of my life.. so i allready have my very detailed 2008 wishlist for wii games!! (you can see it in my blog 8)) other random facts: i usually use a lot of emotions when i write in msn or sometimes even here.. i love chili candy, or any other type of candy. im more of a console videogame player.. the only PC game i really got into was WAR CRAFT 3, and i really enjoyed it, mostly playing online, but i dont play it anymore-- im a tall, skinny guy.. im 1.85 meters high.. the tallest in my whole school.. including teachers :P i have dark brown eyes, very dark brown hair.. it always seem to be black but with the sun it turns a little brown-ish.. hehe :D ok thats enough of stupid information you dont really have to know..

well it was good introducing myself, i guess :roll: -- oh and if you want to know any word or frase in spanish feel free to ask- --

P.S.: and im a MALE.. as you might allready guesed scince i told i had a GIRLfriend-- just clearing that out becasue there have been 2 people that tought i was a girl just because of my profile pic..:| -- and also feel free to correct me, or let me know, if i have any grammar mistakes, i wont feel insulted or anything, i will actually be gratefull becuse that way i can improve my english°! :D

EDIT: wow!.. this is the longest post i'v made so far!!! i dont blame you if you were to lazy to read it all :P

Way to go Bob...

Ok here is another one if anyone wants to keep playing... only in your head (dont use a calculator or scratch paper or anything like that) figure this out... add up all the numbers 1 to 100 (1+2+3+4+.....97+98+99+100=)

Some of you math/computer science people might know this... post your answer and how you did it.

[spoiler] 5050 i figured this out by adding all of the numbers from 1-10 (55) and then i went from 11-20 which eqauled 155. So then i realized that every 10 numbers was 100 more then the previous one. So i went and took 55 and multiplied it by ten (55) because there was ten sets of numbers (1-10, 11-20 etc). Then i had to add 100 more for each number i did more then the original. So i had to add 1 hundred for the first one 2 more for the second one, and all the way up to nine and that eqauled 45. 45 times 100 equals 4500, theni added the two together and got 5050. [/spoiler] hope that made sense. Anyway try this one. What is the one word that is spelled the exact same, foward, backward, and upside down? (Using all capitals)

[spoiler] You got the right answer and congrats for really thinking outside the box on that one... here is how they teach you to do that in computer science... (if the last number is even) you add the first number and the last number and you multiply it by half of all the numbers, so in this case it will be (1+100)X50.... the reason for this is 1+100=101, 2+99+101, 3+98=101... so you end up getting 101 fifty times...the neat thing about this is you can add in any numbers into the equation to get all the numbers inbetween such as 1+2+3....+1,000,000) just make it 1,000,001x500,000 to get your answer.I n the case that it ends in an odd number like all numbers 1-101 then you put the last number to the side for a min and do the formula above and then add the last number.

it also works with : HOH (if thats even a word :P) or Miisterr

I am sick

Not from that "game" either, I have what the call in the medical field an illness

I'm hoping it's a cold because I've been coughing a lot and colds are ok but sucky. A flu takes SERIOUS whining and crying strength and my head hurts so much from coughing that I don't know if I have it in me.

At least I got sick the right way not like bob "I eat raw fish I don't understand why I'm sick" newman (not that I'm naming names lol)

one question. y is it that moderators lock threads when sometimes they clearly didnt violate anything?

one of my threads just got locked and i used brawl as an example. brawl wasnt the main point, but some *beep* of a moderator locked it cause he/she thought that it belonged in the SSBB thread.

what a pain

HEY! I didn't eat no "raw fish". I had vegetarian sushi, and the place was uncleanly. How am I supposed to know that? I had been there dozens of times with no problems, and the food poisoning didn't hit me until over 24 hours later.

Dingbat!

You can ask about it in the Ask the Mods forum. If nothing else, it might bring an issue to our attention that not everyone is on the same page about. That happens way more than you might think. Just make sure to be polite if you do ask a question there. ;)

Ha, I just realized that I'm going to be out of town from the 12th to the 15th. Hopefully the frenzy dies down while I'm gone.

Welcome to the topic Dr_KIll.... I'm not surprised you didn't have a snow day, you folks in Canada are HARDCORE. I'm right across the border in a suburb of Detroit and we here in Michigan are pansies. A bunch of schools were closed today and there have been a bunch of snow days this year so far.

Oh, it's the bad guy in Eternal Darkness for the Gamecube, and the symbols are the runes of the four gods that fight each other for rights to the apocalypse.

Why would that be uninviting? :P
