The deadline is Dec 21, 2000.   After the next  50 entries,   I'll take the last two digits of the ending Dow-Jones closing number on 12-21-00. So whatever number your winning entry is, you have two chances. You will hold your entry number and 50 minus your entry number. If you guessed multiple mystery subsims, you have that many chances to win.  You get the number of each correct MS plus the sum of that number and -50.

That way, say if the Dow-Jones ending number on Dec 21, 2000  as posted on www.CNNfn.com  is 11,436, then the number will be 36. The man holding answer #86 would win (86-50=36).

If the Dow-Jones were to end on  10,279, then the winner would be 79 . The winner would have 3 days to post on the BBS and claim his prize. Otherwise the drawing would start over on the next business day after the 3 days expire.

I like this approach because everyone can see the winner for themselves.

Then the drawing would begin again for the next 50 mystery subsims, sometime around July.
