I really enjoyed this statistics post :D Awesome job!

@alldarker you figured out my strategy! I noticed people were picking (relatively) small numbers, so I chose the biggest, since that would give me better odds.

Nice idea, @stlux - most kind!

I'll have a go with...

Your children are 1, 613 and 128? How old are you?

Worst choice was unfortunately made by @CCC with a choice of 4: his range of winning numbers is currently limited to the range between 1 and 5, due to Toc13 having chosen number 7.

Yep, I already knew that but I wasn't entering to win.

Of course, anyone intent on maximising their chances of winning will wait until the final seconds to place their bets to avoid being bookended.

I would like to guess your combination was 799,876,543

To be fair to them, I added my entry after, without actually looking at previous posts (& do feel slightly bad about it).

I'm quite happy for mine to be changed to 611534237 - or not. Either works for me

Lego_Star · November 2018

Whoops. Missed the deadline have I? No probs if I have.

Very cool of you to offer up Teal loveliness @stlux.

Absolutely. I was able to identify a couple of 'ranges' with literally tens of millions of unclaimed numbers.
All things considered, I'm still very curious who actually got nearest the actual combination!

And for the winning number:

So after 2 "small" numbers (73,213,160 and 36,697,225) I now received a larger combo: 732,360,128.

That makes @Shib the winner of this special Bonusball! PM me your address so I can send this lovely teal brick separator your way!

And if anybody fancies being a game-master for a day and wants to host a Bonusball, reach out to @snowhitie who keeps a list. I'm sure she'd be appreciative of any offers from potential future hosts.

Shib · November 2018

:-O

wow, thanks @stlux (and random number generator!)

MaffyD · November 2018

Well done @Shib thanks for hosting @stlux!
...and @TheFew - I am pretty old, but not that old! I also might have more than 2 children... but less than 8! :-)

BooTheMightyHamster · November 2018

Congrats to @shib and thanks to @stlux

Shib · November 2018

Had a special delivery today, thanks @stlux
, mini Shib seems to have gained a very mischievous expression now he holds the exclusive teal destructive weapon!
