The winner of the t-shirt is:
Brian Geiger of Mississippi.
User ID 92656842 - The clues were "Al", "Bad Hair Day", and "lastphone". This turned out to be the most difficult one for everybody. It also received the most creative guesses. The correct answer is that the user ID spells out YANKOVIC on a standard telephone pad. Several other people saw some connection to pi with 9265 being the 5th-8th digits of pi. Others thought it was the number for Domino's pizza when dialed from work. Some of the more creative answers were:
"um, ok, so, 9/26 is the day that Wierd Al (badhairday.com) is playing Youngstown, OH. Or something. The rest of the numbers are just biggerish you threw in to confuse me!" User ID 8675309 - The clue was "Jenny". The answer is "867-5309" Jenny's phone number from the Tommy Tutone song. User ID 317537 - The clue was "Les". The answer is LESLIE. The younger entrants thought it was l33t h4x0r speak, but really it's just reading it upside down on a calculator. User ID 55378008 - The clue was "You're such a boob." The answer is BOOBLESS as read upsidedown on a calculator. Strangely most people got this answer, but not everyone got the previous one. User ID 11235813 - The clue was "Fibonacci". This one was way too easy. The answer was the first 7 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence. |
