Countdown

GuanYin · 2004-02-02 01:06:29

Thought this might be a laugh. If it works I'll sticky it. Basically its just like the Countdown numbers game, randomly pick 6 numbers from either 25, 50, 75 or 100 or 1-10 and a final number and post them. The rest of the posters have to try arrive at the total by addition/subtraction/multiplication/division with those…

Boards clock not go back?

I see I missed one of Boro's completely.
I would cry, if I hadn't done enough of that trying to crack them in the past.

BTW doh.ie, go to your options ( http://pie.boards.ie/vbulletin/profile.php?do=editoptions ), scroll down to Date & time options, and in the DST correction option, pick Automatically Detect DST Settings. Should sort it.
