Alynniae Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I wanted to participate too, but after i started, i had to eat and i totally forgot:-p, congrats on the trophy/avvie/guitar, i'm jealous. But is the guitar just a toy? If it was a wearable, i would buy it for my magma korbat:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queensorchadragon Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Aw man, I could have gotten the last one if I'd checked soon enough. Took me 1 minute this morning before they did the judging xD I waited for the next one to come out, it came out at 2 and I attacked it right away! Got it done by 2:30... is it possible I got top 250?

This is my first time in the top 250, so I wouldnt have gotton in the table at all.. I believe the first 5 to get it right, get the gold. The first 25 get silver, and everyone else in the 250 gets bronze. (At least that's what I read on a pet page.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrin of Neopia Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Congrats. I entered the last one but didn't win. Can anyone explain to me how the answer was 19 & not 20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckyz Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Congrats. I entered the last one but didn't win. Can anyone explain to me how the answer was 19 & not 20? I submitted 20 and got it wrong as well, I'm guessing tnt didn't use the onsite double or nothing to get the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piticent Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Congrats. I entered the last one but didn't win. Can anyone explain to me how the answer was 19 & not 20? OK, lets work this out. Portable Kiln Cost : 3,158,000 NP Double or Nothing: 0-ith flip (when you start): 10 1: 20 2: 40 3: 80 4: 160 5: 320 6: 640 7: 1,280 8: 2,560 9: 5,120 10: 10,240 11: 20,480 12: 40,960 13: 81,920 14: 163,840 15: 327,680 16: 655,360 17: 1,310,720 18: 2,621,440 19: 5,242,880 By the 19th time you win DON, you will have more than enough NP to get the PK. So either you miscalculated, or you counted in an extra flip. My guess is that you were counting the amount of times you pushed 'Flip the Coin', and not the amount of times it landed on heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that you were counting the amount of times you pushed 'Flip the Coin', and not the amount of times it landed on heads That is not how double or nothing works, you pay 10 np and if you win the first round 10 np is in the pot.

Piticent Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 actually, that isnt how it works. Your 10 NP goes into a pot right when you flip the coin. Then, if you land on heads, its doubled to 20 NP. If the game was played your way, you would win nothing if you win 1 round of DON. Which, if you play the game, is NOT how it works. Therefore, 19 flips. I'm sorry if I sound cocky when saying this, but lets put it this way. Since I was the one who got the NM/NP, I'm right. TNT doesn't make mistakes with LC. I respect your opinion on how the game works, but for the purpose of this forum, I'm right. I submitted 20 and got it wrong as well, I'm guessing tnt didn't use the onsite double or nothing to get the answer. Umm...why wouldn't they? This is NEOPETS talking about a game that exists in the game room...of course they used the onsite DON... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia Trebond Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Here's how I did it: 10*2^x = (price of the item) You solve for x (divide by ten, find the x root of the price of the item that equals 2) and it's like 18.XXXXXX so you have to round up to get enough nps to purchase the item. I also got the winning neomail. No avatar though. :sad01_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect your opinion on how the game works, but for the purpose of this forum, I'm right. Double or nothing works like how you described it but on neo if you win the first toss 10 np goes in the pot. If you play double or nothing and you win the first toss this is the result I demand a recount! Congratulations! You have won 10 NP so far... If you lose you lose.

Winning 10 neopoints means you'll have 10 more neopoints than you started with in the beginning (with 10 going in the pot when you click "Play"). Sorry you lost the LC, better luck this week :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckyz Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Grats on winning, guess I shouldn't have double checked. http://www.thedailyneopets.com/neopets-games/double-or-nothing/ http://www.jellyneo.net/?go=doubleornothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia Trebond Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hmmm... After double checking our winnings table is incorrect! Sorry about that, it's been updated now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_awesome_artist Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Congrats on winning the trophy and avie! I won, too, and it's my first. I was lucky I decided to check when it was a math one... I wasn't in the first 250, though, I literally submitted it two days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
