The Last Person To Post Wins Thread, general rules: 1. Winner of the last thread starts the new one with a post of these rules. 2. Chooses a future event which triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.) 3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached. 4. When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them. 5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. 6. No double posts. Violator buys a round for the house in Rocky's Pub. This will be a straight-forward Post Number, between 500 and 1000. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired ID: 1727753 ·

Last modified: 22 Sep 2015, 4:52:04 UTC Congratulations Donald. Now Vic, will you please connect the dots for us. Hint: #1 Jets rule and Props drool... Hint: #2 Red Tails(should be Jet, instead of Red Tails here) times what is said in golf before a swing. Hint: #3 It only had a prop while the Jet engine was being developed. Hint: #4 Current Jet engine technology is derivative, the US was behind and had to catch up in this race. Hint: #5 Red Tails, Jets(not the football type), here. Hint: #6 More than the sum of the PO Box Hint: #7 Me, Me, Me, Me and I don't mean Me... Hint: #8 xx4x Hint: #9 It is a fast one, figure out the base Hint: #10 Designation. Hint: #11 That would be a lot, to Swallow Hint: #12 Slightly swept wings Hint: #13 Wrong Nation and 1st in Combat. The post Donald made summed it up pretty well Angela. Donald L. Johnson wrote: Winning while doing laundry. With Vic's earlier clue of xx4x, with a base number and multiplier, Me-262 times 4 = 1048 @ Donald: Congrats Donald.

I also thought that the "guess the number" was a side game, but apparently, the goal was either to reach the number, or to guess the number, whichever came first. An interesting variation allowed by the rules. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired ID: 1727764 ·

What was the number for Vic. Not sure how to "Schwalbe" it. You get a gold star Admiral, that's the German word for "Swallow", the 4 digit number was 1048.

Congratulations again, Donald!!! Exactly Angela, if no one guessed the number, the 1st poster to have reached 1048, would have won. Sorry about being a bit of a Riddler.
