Enter to win a free 6-month GMAT video course from GMATPrepNow.com.

The contest rules are very simple: Submit any positive integer (1, 2, 3, etc.) as your entry, and the contestant who submits the smallest unique number wins a 6-month account at www.GMATPrepNow.com

The key word here is UNIQUE. For example, if two or more people submit 1 as their entry, then those entries cannot win, because they're not unique entries. Likewise, if two or more people submit 3 as their entry, then those entries cannot win because they are not unique entries.

So, if 12 people participated in the contest, and the entries were {1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7}, then the winner would be the person who submitted 4, since 4 was the smallest UNIQUE number submitted.

Does that make sense?

If you'd like to participate in this week's contest, email your entry (of one positive integer) to [email protected] with the subject line "Smallest Number Contest #3"

Deadline: noon (Pacific Time) on February 18th, 2017.

The winner will be announced shortly after the deadline passes.

To help you strategize, here are the results from the last two contests:

The deadline for contest #3 has passed, and the winners are /u/Tohac and /u/om4r (their Reddit usernames).

The winning entries were 1 and 11

There was a bit of a mix-up (more here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GMAT/comments/ ... w_contest/), so I awarded two prizes.

There were 29 entries in total: 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 11, 12, 13, 13, 14, 17, 19, 22, 33, 43

Next contest starts on Monday, February 20th, 2017

Cheers,
