Guessing Game - Take 6 by Spisefisken 2008-01-17 00:00:31
Please read the rules as they are very different from former versions of the game.******

The rules:
You have to guess a number. The number have to be between 0 and 100. Decimals are allowed*. The correct answer is <number of participants>*2/<number of guesses>** of the average of all the submitted entries.

Send your guess to guessing (at) joints (dot) dk with your UF nick. Only one entry allowed per UFie per UF-day.*** I will display the number of participants this time as it is only a little part of the result and then you have to think more and you can guess again.

I will sponsor a one year nofrill membership to the lucky winner
The winner is the first who comes closest to the answer within a margin of 2 to either side.****

The game started yesterday and ends on Friday the 25th of January 2008 at 03:00***** UF standard time. Entries received after this, will not be recorded.

Current number of participants is: 5

* No more than 2 decimals if you are submitting with decimals. So 1/3 == 0,33, 2/3 == 0,67 etc.
** If there for example where 20 people participating in the game, with an average of 4 guesses per person the correct answer will be 40/80 of the average guess. Yes I know this can make for an answer that you cannot guess, but I decided to let it be like that.
*** No bulk submitting. One answer a day only. I will not participate as I can easily give the correct answer, just before the time runs out!
**** An example. If the answer turns out to be 50, the correct answer is the closest number to 50, that is also greater than or equal to 48 or less than or equal to 52.
*****The result will be up as quickly as work (or the missus and the kid) allows it.
******Changes that have been made are the way the result will be calculated and the fact that you can guess several times
