      No, everytime you enter, a new number is randomly generated using a random function.

        so there is or isn't a chance to get a repeat number?

        edit: oh and I guess it's not just 8 digit numbers. that makes it a flat 10^8 which is what you guys already had I guess. Either way that's far too many possibilities. This contest has a low chance of being won within a reasonable time limit.

          It said "undefined" earlier instead of "Sorry, you are not a winner, Click again!"

          Would that be caused by clicking too fast?

          Also, is it cheating to have my keyboard set to handicap settings so a key works as a mouse click and just pound that key?

            as long as you are hitting a key to do it, whether it be a key on the keyboard or the mouse is fine.

              Ok, one more thing.

              What happens when someone wins? Do they have to tell you guys? What if they win, but they're still click-happy and click right out of it? What then?

                Database still knows Afro. The database knows all.

                And yea... if it stays at 100 million possibilities with repeats, statistics (without running any kind of regression or working out the exact odds) would put it between 1-2 years if we continue at 200k clicks a day, which I feel is optomistic. People always get bored with things after a short period, so the clicks will go down.

                    I clicked a few times for the hell of it because I don't have a PS2, and putting the stress of a job search on top of everything else I'm responsible for these days leaves me at the breaking point.

                    At least the ITG2 machine on my campus requires only 1 token, which sell for 25 cents each. You can't sell them back, though, so you'd better use them all before your parents find you've been wasting time in the arcade again. This usually requires additional funds towards the simple goal of avoiding dehydration from excessive sweating.

                    Is it worth it? Definitely.

                      sweet it will now only take 5 days as opposed to 500 >_>.

                      well, 5 days maximum. If you expect an increase in the number of clicks it will probably be within the next 48 hours.

                        I got a message saying I could only enter once a second.

                        Funny... I thought I was clicking faster than one per second on every other time.
