Ok all you single issue guessers.  :makepoint:

Each contestant will then submit a PM to me listing the 15 issue numbers in the order in which they wish to pick them.

I will post an example of how this is to work, but you need to list all 15 issue numbers as part of your guess.  You will however wind up with one issue number once the selection process is completed.  The whole point of this is to keep everyone in suspense as to who has what issue number.

Say there were just 5 issues and  two contestants.

First contestant picks 100 107 120 135  127 (Just made up numbers)

Second contestant picks    107 135 100 127  120

The final list would then be as follows.

100 - First contestant picks 100  then 100 is crossed off each list 100 107 120 135  127       107 135 100 127  120

107 - second contestant picks 107 then 107 is crossed off each list 100 107 120 135  127     107 135 100 127  120

120 -  First contestant picks 120  then 120 is crossed off each list 100 107 120 135  127       107 135 100 127  120

135 -  second contestant picks 135 then 135 is crossed off each list 100 107 120 135  127     107 135 100 127  120

127 - First contestant is left with 127, the only remaining unpicked issue.

We are still at 12 contestants, and have room for 3 more!

Four contestants have supplied me with their 15 picks. I still need to hear from the following folks.

Kav,  Spawnfreak, comicdonna, Comics4All, WilliamJames88, comicginger1789, aardvark88, Warlord.

@frozentundraguy When do I have to give my guesses by?

Great question. I had this in mind for the list of rules I posted.  Lets allow 10 days after we have our 15th contestant signed up. If we still do not have 15 contestants by the end of August 6th, the deadline will be midnight August 16th.

I was asked by a contestant on how to choose the picking order of the 15 issues.

This is a little difficult to explain. Say you think issue 135 will be his last issue purchased. You would want to list that issue first. If you think issue 135 will be his first issue, list it last. In other words your list should be in the opposite order of what you think his purchases will be.

I think it will boil down to blind luck to win this contest. lol
