Wow, that is really well done! I'm trying to figure out how you did it, but I keep on missing a variable. I think I am being stupid here, but it's buggin me now. Care to share how you did it? |

You solve the problem using two variables.
The first variable is the X you listed 6.X333. You multiple the number of votes by the score. For the score, you have digits from 1 to 9 to substitute in for X. When you solve the equation, throw out any scores that don't end in essentially a whole number. For example, 6.6333 x 255 = 1691.49 while 6.7333x255 = 1716.99 = 1717. It should be noted that 6.9333 x 255 also achieves a whole number....but that is where psychology comes in...and that is the second variable.

Hahaha! That's exactly what I did, but when I got more than one possible answer I was stumped. Psychology, now who would've thought of that?? :) |

I sure hope the two "X"s are the same in your equation. Otherwise you are lying and that kind of thing is frowned on!!!! |

To me, there was one entry that just totally stood out as being incredibly awesome. I can't wait for the challenge to finish to see whose it is. For whatever reason, I found myself voting higher than usual in this challenge. I liked the thought, cohesiveness, and craftsmanship that so many put into their images. Also, I think it was a nice change to not have just one shot to focus on, but more of a thought to consider. |
Now that it's over, which one did you pick?

I'll second that guess..... but then I went and read the comments so I'd say it's a pretty safe second..... |
