A Rep Contest - Nubblies.net Forums

Orgazmo · 10-26-2010, 12:56 PM

I'll be delivering two reps to the person who can provide me the answer to the question below. I will also be delivering negative rep to incorrect answers.

The answer to the question is the Nubblies username of the account whose account number matches the answer to the equation.

Key:

A: Dan Marino Total NFL Passing Inches

B: Film that was incorrectly referenced on Jeopardy that aired on 2/12/2010 in $1600 question of second category

C: Time it would take in hours to walk from McDonalds nearest Time Square, NY to McDonalds nearest Grand Canyon National Park, AZ (via US-40 W)

D: Year of death of the last Emperor of the Southern Qi dynasty

E: Number (minus letters) of most valuable sports card

F: Total length in km of bridge in the pic below

G: Day (as in, the dd of mm/dd/yyyy) I was born

Equation

((A - B) / (C + D)) + ((E - G) / F)

All answers can either be found on Nubblies or Googling. While some of the shit may be up to interpretation, the answers have come from the most widely used sources.

Luck be with you.

Ironic Mustache · 10-26-2010, 02:18 PM

I did all that work and now can't figure out how to find account numbers.

Orgazmo · 10-26-2010, 02:22 PM

You should be able to figure out the account number shit if you look at someone's profile. The number is in the URL.

Note that I'm revealing that because it really wasn't meant to be part of the puzzle.

Ironic Mustache · 10-26-2010, 02:23 PM

Yeah I don't see shit.

I edited that part into the previous msg.

Also: Answers shouldn't yield decimals in any part of the equation.

Ironic Mustache · 10-26-2010, 02:26 PM

No decimals? The kilometers of the bridge have decimals.

Edit: I'm afraid I saw your submission of Vitruvio before you edited it out, so I have to count it. You're more than welcome to submit multiple answers, though.

I figured out a mistake I made there's no way I can fix this to keep it all whole numbers without rounding. I'll catch up on this later.

Ugly Bastard · 10-26-2010, 03:25 PM

The correct answer is Cockstarr

Orgazmo · 10-26-2010, 03:25 PM

The contest had ended, and Ugly Bastard is the winner!

But the contest will stay live for 24 hours longer. Anyone who PM's me the correct answer + the answer to each of the clues (to verify you didn't just get the name somehow) will be given a complimentary mention and, if there aren't a shitload of you, a rep.

Again, please do this via PM.

In 24 hours, I'll reveal the correct answer + all correct details and the sources.

Ironic Mustache · 10-26-2010, 08:37 PM

I'm curious about my interpretations of the answers.

Orgazmo · 10-26-2010, 09:41 PM

Responded to your PM.

I'll post all of the answers I was expecting + why that's the answer I wanted tomorrow.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 10-26-2010, 10:02 PM

I wish I did, but I don't have time for this shit. post the answers NOW.

Ironic Mustache · 10-26-2010, 10:27 PM

I've been narrowed down to two. I don't know what bridge that is and Gaz and I are having differences of opinion on the Jeopardy episode.

Edit - Differences settled.

angry pancake · 10-27-2010, 02:29 PM

The suspense is maddening.

Ugly Bastard · 10-27-2010, 02:38 PM

What's the matter guys? Having a hard time solving the equation?!

Ironic Mustache · 10-27-2010, 03:06 PM

It took me a minute and for gaz to tell me what answers I had wrong but I figured it out eventually.

Orgazmo · 10-27-2010, 03:11 PM

A: Dan Marino Total NFL Passing Inches
2,208,996
61,361 Passing Yards => 2,208,996 inches
Dan Marino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

B: Film that was incorrectly referenced on Jeopardy that aired on 2/12/2010 in $1600 question of second category
1408
J! Archive - Show #5855, aired 2010-02-12 => "What is Room 408?"
1408 (2007) - Movie connections => "Room 408" is an incorrect guess on a $1,600 clue in the category "Fright-ful Films"

Kudos to both IM and UB for finding a YouTube clip of this moment.

C: Time it would take in hours to walk from McDonalds nearest Time Square, NY to McDonalds nearest Grand Canyon National Park, AZ (via US-40 W)
766
Google Maps "McDonalds near Time Square, NY" => 1208 6th Ave, New York
Google Maps "McDonalds near Grand Canyon National Park, AZ => U.S. 180, Grand Canyon Village, AZ
Google Maps directions from A to B set to walking => 31 days 22 hours => 766 hours

D: Year of death of the last Emperor of the Southern Qi dynasty
502
Emperor He of Southern Qi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

E: Number (minus letters) of most valuable sports card
206
T206 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IM pointed out Nuns auctioning rare baseball card - MLB News - FOX Sports on MSN, which is a pure coincidence.

F: Total length in km of bridge in the pic below
25
King Fahd Causeway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

G: Day (as in, the dd of mm/dd/yyyy) I was born
6
I was born on March 6, 1985 (despite what my Nubblies profile says).
Happy Sexday Orgazmo

((A - B) / (C + D)) + ((E - G) / F) = ((2,208,996 - 1408) / (766 + 502)) + ((206 - 6) / 25) = 1749 = Cockstarr

Ugly Bastard is the winner of the contest, solving the riddle with zero help.

Ironic Mustache gains an honorable mention by solving with very little help.
