Numbers, Ursa, not words.

EDIT: Now that would be an interesting game! We start at "a" and, assuming that everyone has the same edition of a dictionary, we go to the next word, and the next. Guys go up a word, and gals do down one.

EDIT2: No, there'd be no way for those of the female persuasion to win that. We start with the word that is exactly halfway through the dictionary.

EDIT3: Saying that, one side my have fewer letters to type if their half of the dictionary has shorter words, so we'd need to work out the word halfway through the number of characters in the dictionary, just to make it completely fair.

EDIT4: Talking about words, my hours of programming are taking an effect on my English! Ack.

It's going to take a while getting to 1,000. I think I'll just post numbers on random other threads +136

The Ace · 23rd April 2009, 07:33 PM

+137, but I think Freda wants to play.

Interference · 23rd April 2009, 07:40 PM

+138 .... I suppose this means I can't come back to see who wins, then ... I should have waited till last

Well, we might as well get a bit ahead while Hoopy's otherwise occupied. +139?

not at all; the rule is no double posting, not no repeats.
