Where does it say what we win by finishing in first place?
[CORRECT]
Score is really kept just for motivation and posterity… if people continue to be interested, I’ll continue to add new rounds of play. Or perhaps the first to 100 wins. Or I don’t know, maybe something else.

Rules abound for what works in this thread, but the prize that we get, well, that has not been said.

Good for you! You get +100 integrity points (which aren’t actually recorded).
I would like to say that **iiandyiiii **has done the finest job of ANY poster on the SDMB.
This thread is pure genius and I say we all give him a round of applause!
I sense sarcasm, but I’m not sure why, so I’ll say a hearty “thank you”!
No, it was just an attempt to get points from the GREATEST THREAD CREATED IN THE HISTORY OF… (oh, never mind. I’m pathetic…I’ll shut up now.)
[INCORRECT]
Oh, I get it! You want points. There’s one sure way to get them…
×××××
Put an end to this impudence if you want, **iiandyiiii **, but can I try a new version of your puzzle post?
[CORRECT]
I will try to entice solvers by not asking them to quote another post, but instead I just simply require that they follow the new posting rule.
[CORRECT]
Zero points will be awarded to [INCORRECT] posts that do not seem to realize what the heck is going on.
[CORRECT]
If one thinks deeply, then one does this puzzle a service and therefore one will likely properly respond.
[CORRECT]
One way for me to to snare some interest in this different version of the game might be to award extra points to the first poster who makes a correct answer… shall we say ten?
[CORRECT]
In bed for the night in order to give players an opportunity to think and for a few chuncks of the wee hours to elapse.
[CORRECT]
Those who are fast at solving this sort of puzzle hopefully will soon figure out something to share.
[CORRECT]
That Spanish OP guy **iiandyiiii **should know I did not mean to step on his toes.
[CORRECT]
I’m at a loss so far, but I’ll give it some more thought later. No toes stepped on – I’m glad to see this thread providing some more amusement!
