Have some extra cards so why not a contest!

[mikecancelliere]

Hey guys I have ALOT of cards I don't need and I feel generous so how about a contest! You'll have to do some math though:eek:

You can call this a scavenger hunt I guess:)! I hope you're good at math!

Here's how it works: all I want in your post is to be a number. Here's an example of what it's gonna be like

Example Player: John Jones
1985 Topps Card # + height in inches - number of letters in hometown state divided by number of runs in 1982

Get it? Kinda?

Well here's the actual one
Player: Dillon Gee (P, Mets)
(Card Number of 2011 Topps Series 1) + (Games Played in 2010) x (What # pick he was by the mets in 07) — (His height in inches)
And divide that all by his 2011 Topps Heritage Card #


Winner gets a Troy Tulo Xfractor. Good luck and one guess per day. Remember order of operations;)

[mikecancelliere]

If your number isn't between .01 and 10 then you messed up

I will announce winner 6/24 at 6 pm cst

9, do I win anything for being ballsy enough to post a round number :)

[pastmyshades]

Mike,

I got 19.0331492. I know thats not between .01 and 10, but Im about 99.9% sure its correct.

Games played (5) x Pick # (663) = 3315

3315 + Topps Series 1 # (203) = 3518

3518 - Height in Inches (73 - He is listed at 6'1") = 3445

3445 / Topps Heritage # (181) = 19.033.....



Or Im bad at math =p

761.497238

[SCtxholdem]

Doubled checked and I am right his topps card # is 203 he played 5 games he was the 663 over all draft he is 6'1 which is 73" his Heritage card is 181

203 + 5 x 663 - 73 divided by 181 = 761.497238

[RckyMtCollector]

I'm going with:

1.3812154696132596685082872928177

[oldtimer65]

23.73

(((203 + 5) x 21)-73)/181

taking a guess that you're using what round he was drafted rather than the overall pick.

-James

that's what i got?

[mikecancelliere]

Guys this information cab be seen on any of his 2011 cards



Well here's the actual one
Player: Dillon Gee (P, Mets)
(Card Number of 2011 Topps Series 1) + (Games Played in 2010) x (What # pick he was by the mets in 07)

[Nodie27]

i'm going with pi!!!!

[HawksBraves]

that's what i got?


19.03314.... is correct. Very large percentage of math idiots on here, apparently including the OP.

[tehchamp]

I got this, using round number:
1.2983425414364640883977900552486

Using pick # 663, it is 19.03314

[redsalert]

I also included his minor league games...

[redsalert]

Or...5.09...?

[J19R]

You know - I wish the OP would confirm his math is right! If it is, we're all off for different reasons - but I'll take the literal equation and come up with - 30.8895

Topps Card #203, games played in 2010 33 - 5 major and 28 minor, he was the Met's 24 pick in 2007, Height is 73 inches, and the Heritage card is #181

203+33=236
236*24=5664
5664-73=5591
5591/181=30.8895

[HawksBraves]

This thread gets funnier and funnier with each post.

[frozenntimesports]

Order of operations problem dude.

[redsalert]

33 x 24 = 792
792 + 203 = 995
995 - 73 = 922
922/181 = 5.09


That's my final answer. Haha this is all a big cluster eff

This is definitely correct....using the correct order of operations....I think OP got his math wrong!:eek:

[J19R]

Order of operations problem dude.

I did think of that - wasn't sure if it was right either -
203+33=236

24-73=-49

236*-49=-11564

-11564/181=-63.89

[J19R]

This thread gets funnier and funnier with each post.

Can't wait til 6pm!

Have you ever taken a math class past 6th grade?

[ilovethelakings]

My answer is 37. (someone's gotta know what that means and what it is from!)

[ExpFacilitators]

5.0939226519337

[crazygrover]

My answer is way higher than everyone else.

3517.5966

Thats what I got with order of operations ( if I did it right which I most likely did not)

*I even checked a math site to check my answer lol

[tehchamp]

203+33=236
236*24=5664
5664-73=5591
5591/181=30.8895

Or tell us what he means by games played, or the pick number.

Some one will eventually get my answers joke.

[skylog]

42...as per d.a.

[redsalert]

Man, I can't wait to see what the OP considers the correct order of operations, and rather we are supposed to consider games played in the majors only, or minors included.

Might as well have asked us to pick a number between 1 and 100! :)!

[thewild3]

My calculation comes up with 1,343,395.43545455457687876876567567567676!

I'll Pm you with my address for you to send over that tulo xfractor.

[houdini]

I just talked to him by pm - the tulo xfractor is actually the autographed rookie and NOBODY has the exact correct answer yet...

something about a trick in the question?

[mnvikingstwins]

(203 + (33 * 663) - 73) / 181 = 1.21596685*10^2

Just kidding.

Sorry guys, I could not resist.

Im going to kick your butt lol.
Someone has the right answer, as the only possibly answers have been posted unless the OP has some weird thing he did.

I know, I feel horrible. :devil:

I think the answer is already posted... probably the 1.blahblah whatever.

Plus, what year tulo? ambiguous question, ambiguous prize. haha

[abcd1234]

752.9834254143646 in order to make it between .01 and 10, I employ scientific notation.... 7.52x10^2


Here's the math: 231 * (663-73) / 181

I guess this isn't right anyway....go figure.

[FLMARLIN]

2.3425414???

[Nodie27]

.8675309! I got it!

[RckyMtCollector]

Here's my second guess if I get one:

3.966850828*

Thanks.

[mmbtvs]

just gonna throw it out there, I got 27.17, using my own interpretation of the numbers.

[J19R]

6:59 - we've been stood up!

[mmbtvs]

6:59 - we've been stood up!

Maybe he's feverishly checking and rechecking his math.

[HawksBraves]

My final guess is threeve

[tchummer]

1.38121547

[thewild3]

Did anyone win this thing or what?

[mikecancelliere]

Too much confusion with this guys...
I'm going to have to make a new one

[thewild3]

Instead of redoing a new one, Give it to the first guy that posted the right answer in your mind.

[mikecancelliere]

Nobody was close to exact. I got something around 3.96

[thewild3]

then give it to the member who guess closest to that number then. Credibility bro!

[mikecancelliere]

Here's my second guess if I get one:

3.966850828*

Thanks.

This is the closest. What went wrong with mine is that for games played I looked on the back of his 2011 rookies and didn't realize it was stats from the minors. So I put 28 games. And the draft thing was 21! 21st pick by the mets, not overall. I'll send him the tulo and run another contest and make sure everything's perfect :)!

[redsalert]

Actually, he was the Mets' 24th pick. He was picked in the 21st ROUND, but not their 21st pick.

You're right. Dang I shoulda done more research. I sorta threw this all together in like 5 mins. For next time it'll be good

QFT.. I went on Baseball America and counted their picks through the rounds. You failed us OP!
