        6 / CLICK HOUSE / Click Again / dj REMO-CON

        Are staff disqualified? ; )

        And LD, it's generating numbers below 8-digits too. It just gave me a 5-digit one a second ago.



        It wasn't the winning number.

          It can range anywhere from 1 digit, to 9 digits.

              9 digits? so, there are 1,000,000,000 or 1 billian possible combinations.


              It would take 500,000 people 2,000 clicks EACH to do 1 billian clicks. Alot of lotteries have less combinations. Pick 5s and such are 1-39. 39*38*37*36*35 = 69,090,840. Well less than 1 billion.

              Odds are highly unlikely someone will get this in 1 week.

                We'll have to decrease the number than.

                How about something like every 100,000 clicks, we decrease the number.

                  Clear your cache after installing Flash 8. We will be making it Flash 7 compatible later in the day.

                    The problem with this is... 1. We shouldn't have THAT much trouble getting 100k clicks. Remember, the difference between 100k and 1 billion is 10,000.

                    Also, at 100k you would drop it to 100 mil, at 200k to 10 mil, at 300k to 1 mil... and at that point, it wouldn't be that difficult.

                    Figure there are 2000-5000 people doing this, and each does 100 clicks a day. that right there is 200k to 500k in 1 day.

                    But, even say that you do 1 million clicks a day, to get 1 billion, it is 1000 days. Now, clearly, statistics says you'll hit the magic number before the 1000 days, but it could be 1 day, or it could potentially be 2500 days. Or, anywhere from 1 day to 6-7 years.

                    This is something you should have thought about BEFORE starting it. Or, changing it now and keeping it stagnant. I'd recommend 10 million (numbers 1-9,999,999) as an appropriate level that would keep the contest going for 1-20 days or so.

                    I'd also think about tying the clicking into a google ad or some ad format... no reason NOT to make money for the site off of this. Clearly you'll be getting millions of clicks.

                      Very very good idea.

                      Clearing out my Cache worked, thanks!

                        I clicked a bunch of times and then remembered that staff aren't elegible so I stopped.

                        Too bad, I really wanted ITG too and I'm certainly not going to win TournaMix.

                        I don't see the point in displaying the numbers we get anyway, it's not like we're going to have to keep track of them.
                        I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.

                          So the idea behind this was "hay guys, let's do something really random"?

                          Oh well, i don't even own a PS2, but that can't stop me from clicking.

                            Yes.

                              I thought I killed it at first with my insane finger vibrating skills

                                Pretty much. LD came to me for ideas but I couldn't think of anything. This was the result.

                                Moral: Every good idea on this site has my creative genius behind it. ;D
