The Counting Down Game - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Sticky · 12-01-2003, 05:41 PM

Here is one that I have been meaning to try for a long time.

I have been thinking this one through for a while and I think I finally worked it out.

Here are the rules:
- We count backwards
- The next poster posts the nex number in descending order

I want to start at 1,000,000 but I don't want you all to loose interest. So let's start with the following number:

9758

(hint the next person posts 9757 and so on)

Sticky dropped 200 hundred or transposed or something from the previous post. Here was the error so it should be 9735 or in the new vein9558

Sticky · 12-02-2003, 12:38 PM

Man I suck.
You are right it should be 9734.
Let's continue anyway
