RE: AND THE WINNER IS.........1 Aug 2025 18:39
Well...... I have surpassed all expectations of myself this time by guessing the SP closure yesterday at 10.72.
For those of you curious as to how I chose the numbers, I have provided an explanation below.
But firstly, many thanks to PEAKDRED for organizing and managing this bit of light entertainment and those who partook.
Like many of you.. I`m a numbers man and without going into too much detail also have an interest in cars. A close relative has a Mercedes SL. So I took SL inverted the letters and viewed the mirror image.... are you still with me ..?. The inverted mirror image reads 72. I could have gone for 972 but like many of you felt that RR are on a roll and since it was my relatives 1st classic car I used 01 and inverted / mirror image which produced 10 , which led to the final choice 10.72. Not very scientific, I know..
Following the above long winded explanation you must be hoping I do not win the next competition for the end of year closing SP..... well so do I .. but the trouble is superstition has already set in and all kinds of numbers are floating around in my brain. Also I don`t want to be labled as some type of good luck charm or mascot since my choice was a pure guess.. nothing more, but based on a few select numbers.
For those of you who have had good fortune and wish to assist please do consider a donation to the following organization of which I am the founder:
"The Society for the Protection of the Universe against Humanity" (have not decided on what to spent finances / donations on yet....!!)
Chill out week-end to all... but keep busy.
