This is round 2 of Humbugardy. I’m your host, Alex Scorebard.
It’s time for the last Humbugardy Double Up category. The category is Numb3r5 for 1000.
Im So Blue controls the board, and will get to choose the exact time the question will be posted. It can be any time after 9AM on Tuesday. Wednesday would work, too. Once the answer is posted, you will have 30 minutes to email me your question.
The first correct question will win double the wager. Other correct questions win their wagers. Wrong questions lose their wagers.
Anyone who has successfully questioned an answer may place a wager. You may bet any or all of your points, or up to 1000 points if you have less than 1000 points. Place your wager before 9AM on Tuesday.
The current standings are as follows:
For The Turnstiles: 5500

1. What happens if I'm So Blue doesn't get back to you before 9 AM tomorrow?
2. Then at 9am, I'll pick a time on Wednesday, and give you until 11:59pm Tuesday to make your bets.
3. Sorry for the long delay...I didn't check the board until just a few minutes ago.
How about high noon on Wednesday, Alex?
4. 3 To clarify, Wednesday at noon, PST.
5. So do the bets still need to be in next Tuesday morning?
6. OK, the answer will be posted at noon, PST, Wednesday. Your bests should be in by 11:59pm Tuesday.
7. That's "bets", not "bests".
8. I'll bet e^(pi*i)+1.
(That's 0. I'm not going to be able to access the computer.)
9. So, are people supposed to place their wagers here, or by email?
10. We place our bets here. We send the responses to the answer by email.
11. For example, I bet 500.
12. Time for my big move to the middle of the pack
I bet 1,000.
13. You know, once you've racked up the humiliating score of negative-1,000, the additional shame of falling another 1,000 points in the red is really quite insignificant.
Bet 1,000!
14. Where is everybody? I'm only the 5th person to wager...
I'll wager 911.
15. 12:07 PST. Is my watch fast?
16. I rearranged my whole life for this! I turned down lunch with three Hollywood starlets for this!
17. i forgot to wager, but i'm interested in the question.
18. though if it's acceptable (since he hasn't posted it) i'd wager $300
19. oops, looks like he posted it.
and wow, that looks like a doozy. good luck bob.
20. My brain hurts!
21. Guess who forgot to convert from Pacific to Central time?
I think I got it, but a few minutes too late.
