Win Free Artwork Here, Part III: Night of the Lipoproteins

Postby Howard Tayler on Mon Jan 26, 2004 11:39 am

THE CONTEST IS CLOSED...
For your amusement, I'll keep all the original text around, though:

And now, for the THIRD ANNUAL "guess Howard's cholesterol" contest...

THE PRIZE: A free inked drawing on 5"x8" Bristol Board of a Schlock Mercenary character of your choice.

TO WIN: You must guess my serum cholesterol level, as measured by a third-party. You must be willing to provide me with a mailing address or PO BOX in order to collect your prize. The winner will be announced THIS FRIDAY...

TO PLAY: You must be registered with KeenSpot Forums. You must then post one and only one guess in this thread. Registering multiple nicks to log multiple guesses is cheating, and disqualifies you.

You must not pick a number that's been picked already, and if you do (don't be careless!) and that number was the winner, the first person who picked that number wins. If two guesses are equidistant from the correct number (like if 575 and 577 were guesses, and by some curse of cholesterol-generating voodooI come in at 576) then the LOW guess wins.

2002's winner guessed 256 against a measured value of 258. 2003's winninng number was 243.

During my fitness appraisal this morning I clocked in at 177lbs and 30% body fat. In the last three weeks I've been eating low-carb style, but with veggies and more reasonable amounts of super-fatty stuff like bacon, chupaquesos than the last times I've done this diet. That said, I've had the Carl's Jr Low-Carb Six-Dollar Burger no fewer than four times in the last seven days. :-)

Within reason, yes. You may not get what you want if you ask for something out-of-character, like "Jevee gets nekkid," "Tagon gets his Ph.d.," or "Schlock opts for the salad instead of the buffet."

168, because it is a multiple of 42. (And I've got a good feeling about Howard's annual lipid lottery.)

228 -- following the down-by-15-each-year pattern.

(Did I do my math right? If not, then I choose 228 because... um.... I'm 29, and 2 plus 9 is 11, and 11 twice is 22, and 2 to the 2 to the 2 is 8.)
