This was fun, thanks for the contest. Hope to do this again in the future. I was surprised there were only 10 people in the mountain time zone. It definitely helped me get 2nd place, but I thought more people would be interested in this.
Thanks for joining for the greater good. Talk about hitting your estimated ppd? Way to be!!
Not to spoil anyones fun...no never happens  I think someone forgot to turn the clock off calculating the ppd figures...the TZC ppd is decreasing ...I know mine were higher

Yeah, the root of the calc resided in a '=now()' function so that value kept updated as the clock ticked on. I swapped it out for the last timestamp of the contest and we're back to those proper frozen values. Just took some digging and for me to stop thinking at it like a programmer and look at it like a PROGRAMMER. (AKA - I started by walking backwards through the formulae that troy8d set up when he was laying out the sheet and got myself lost bouncing from page to page instead of just saying "I'm too lazy to want to replicate too many parts of the calculation . . . Where would I hide the root of this?" Once I asked THAT, it was right in front of my nose.)

Good Job.. I knew I wasn't imagining it. At my age you can't be sure

Hey Troy8d,
Is there a time frame winners have to claim their prize?
puns4life that won the Steam Card from me has zero posts and hasn't yet responded to my PM, tho it has been marked as read.

If they have 0 posts then they can't send PMs - I'd suggest sending another PM and telling them to respond in this thread if they're interested in claiming the prize or having them reply to a few posts in the general section of the forum so they can PM you: https://forums.evga.com/General-Discussion-f26.aspx If they don't claim it then I wouldn't worry about it - you can use it or save it for the next contest (if there is one).

Oh good call. I send them a link to post here, or suggest general. I was inquiring as I would guess the next person in line that didn't get anything could receive it if they wanted.

I could give it to the next person that choose it that didn't get anything if you would prefer that as well.

Given that he read the PM and has 0 posts a lack of ability to PM is the very likely reason, but waiting is not a bad idea either. 30 days from now probably would be too late to give it to someone else. There are no wrong answers here, and I wouldn't worry too much about it. You're being incredibly generous to a fellow folder and shouldn't have to work too hard to give something away...

Really cool of you to go the extra mile, I was just suggesting don't let it become a burden to try and track him down. In the past people have selected a prizes but never claimed them. As long as you've made a reasonable effort, I wouldn't worry about it too much beyond that.

Hey un4givn85! Sorry, wasn't able to PM you (admittedly I've been a lurker here rather than posting). Thanks for following up, and thanks for donating the prize! A PM of the code would be great. I hope to pass the gesture forward in a future contest

I sent the 3060Ti to Yodap over a week ago via USPS Priority 2 day mail. It still has not been delivered, and the delivery address is in the same state (NY). To add insult to injury, they double charged my credit card for the shipping, and that's after I gave the regular USPS guy who picked it up a $20 tip for Christmas/New Year... I also just found out that despite being the 15th place in the world to order the EKWB plexi+nickel FTW3 GPU block and 5th place in the world to order the nickel back plate, I will apparently be waiting until *at least* February now because of a problem with the nickel back plates (and they won't ship one without the other). Meanwhile those who ordered the same block after me but with the black back plate are already receiving them. Received my power bill for December, and it was MUCH higher than usual. NYC prices. Unfortunately folding will have to stay on the back burner until I have more $ for power bills. Very frustrating. 2020 sucked, and looks like 2021 is trying hard to compete. On a positive note, I still have a job and I have not caught the coronavirus *touch wood* ..hope I didn't just jinx it.
