i prefer that u arrange in an random order!!!
for that everyone will agree!!!

well my chances are least because if arranged alphabetical order,my name will be under the first 10 and takes 20-30 attempts to generate a number under 10!!
so i think the names should be arranged in a random order

if u want to win go hack their website and change their program code

Ohhh that explains it...Why i never win  . I am changing my name.

Regards

so both ankurs on one side..
lets change our names to something starting with p-s
lolz

well i created a java prog to generate 10 nos between 1-50
and attached are the 6 generations

prog code-


import java.util.Random;

/** Generate 10 random integers in the range 0..50. */
public final class RandomInteger {
 
  public static final void main(String... aArgs){
    log("Generating 10 random integers in range 0..50.");
   
    //note a single Random object is reused here
    Random randomGenerator = new Random();
    for (int idx = 1; idx <= 10; ++idx){
      int randomInt = randomGenerator.nextInt(50);
      log("Generated : " + randomInt);
    }
   
    log("Done.");
  }
 
  private static void log(String aMessage){
    System.out.println(aMessage);
  }
}




log of nos generated

Hey on the web we got too many randomness generating programs by so many companies. But all of them work based on some logic like your script. As the random.org's randomness comes from the atmospheric noise, it got popularity.

the atmospheric noise gen..  is not good
i prefer u use a generator using such a script using jumbled up names

Ankur, if the poll is done at night then there will be less noise so your chances to win are great! 

i don't like it thats all!!

I just checked it now and its generating more numbers below 10, and out of the 40 clicks I did I got 1, 2, two times each and 4 and 9 one time. you are still not happy?

Mmmmm... then only thing to make it done is to write all the names on bits of paper, pour in a bowl, mix them, turn the head back and pick one.

yeah thats the best way!!
anyways hope the winner to be announced by tom. morning we cant wait anymore!!!

HEY HAPPY HOLI TO ALL OF YOU    AND YES....

TODAY IS 1st march,i guess .................. i m waiting for result ...

From what I see there wont be enough noise to generate the number high enough to get me a hit Lucky people are Ashta to speedracer!

And the winner is............... #46 on the list of 63....

Shrikant

Congrats !

Congrats ShriKant!, Hope to see your plane flying soon

Congrats Shrikant...

Good Day !

Congrats shrikant..

and my prediction went right-it has chosen a number near the midway..

Ankur - You need to read up on "pseudo-random generators", use of "seeds" in random number generation etc, and the general trustworthiness of that site.

Secondly, I did pick a secondary winner just in case, and it was one of the numbers in ONE of the edges

THANK YOU GUYS  

I am very happy. So far I have never even won a full HOUSIE,   let alone a sweepstake of this type.  

Sandeep... Subbu... Ashish... all the local guys here in N'Bbay will have to help me out on building a new foamie for this combo....

THANKS AGAIN GUYS  

Congrats Shrikant! 

congratulations!

Congrats ShriKant........   

Enjoy.

Congrats Srikant
