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.
