Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / July 2005[SI] [Mandators list]
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [SI] [Mandators list] Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2005 15:07:17 -0400 From: Alan Browne <alan.browne@FreeLunchVideotron.ca> Newsgroups: rec.photo.equipment.35mm Well, it's that time. 18 valid applications to be mandator were received and were randomly assigned (by computer) as follows: POS SCORE Mandator === ===== ======== 1 56 : Joseph Kewfi -- MANDATES SI ON 1 July !! 2 137 : Owamanga -- mandates SI on 15 July ! 3 146 : Bowser -- mandates SI on 29 July 4 179 : William Drew 5 218 : Mark Lauter 6 232 : Jim Kramer 7 239 : Lisa Horton 8 282 : Ken Nadrovnik 9 341 : Michael J Hoffman 10 399 : Alan Browne 11 416 : Al Denelsback 12 465 : Tom Hudson 13 514 : Cody Houston 14 569 : Peter Boorman 15 753 : Douglas 16 835 : Parv 17 852 : Walt Hanks 18 886 : Paul Furman (Score is a randomly generated number). The new mandate list is at http://www.aliasimages.com/si/rulz.html#Round4 There were two disqualified entrants: "Sarah Molly" : Unable to confirm real e-mail address. and "Chris19XX@hotmail.com" - no such e-mail address. Paul Bielec did not ask to be in... eh Paul? What's up? Hurry hurry! Cheers, Alan. PS: Selection method: I wrote a Pascal program that used a B-tree sorting on a computer random number between 0 and 1000. A list was generated by listing from the tree based on score. A list was accepted if a) another random number in the range 0 to 255 was 0 AND b) if my name was in the middle position of the list (or middle + 1 if an even number of entrants.) It took some 3500 list generations before that condition was satisfied, so a pretty well "randomized" list.

You don't have a brain to put in it either, by the sounds of it. What an idiot.

You could have used Delphi, a TStringList and avoided the hassle of a b-tree. :) SignatureMark Photos, Ideas & Opinions http://www.marklauter.com >> PS: Selection method: I wrote a Pascal program that used a B-tree >> sorting on a computer random number between 0 and 1000.

(2 mins max) SignatureKen Tough >>> PS: Selection method: I wrote a Pascal program that used a B-tree >>> sorting on a computer random number between 0 and 1000. A list was [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >given everyone else a random number, and sorted them in excel? >(2 mins max) It is a sign of someone who has nothing to do, and all day to do it. You know what they say: "Those who cannot do, teach." "For those who cannot teach, there are always vacancies in marketing." That's how it started (Excel) but lacked 'mystery', so a few minutes programming obfuscated the process. Cheers, Alan |
