BW. The Math Factor Million Dollar Give Away!!!

February 5, 2007 · game theory, Mathfactor Events, numbers, The Mathcast

Up to $1,000,000 in Prize Money May Be Given Away! Whoever sends us the largest number wins the prize– a million dollars divided by the winning entry!

(So, if everyone could just hold it together and send in the number “1”, we’ll be out a lot of dough! Of course, if everyone else sends in “1”, you might consider being a rascal and sending in “2”… this is a slippery slope though…)
