    I believe you... really! ;)

    Hmm...

    Are you suggesting a re-match?

    I'm just frustrated that I really did enter it with all capitals.

    oh gads, If theres a rematch I think I'll just give it to staulcub. I'm still shaky from the adrenaline surge.


    Well maybe not give it to him...


    So how exactly does it convert to lowercase? When I type or paste stuff it stays exactly as it is.

    I've got to play with this a bit and convince myself.

    Staulcub is right. Typing in all caps throughout the whole post without a lower-case letter makes it all lower-case. I know this because of my obscene post count.

    I would maybe suggest a tie in this case. Right or wrong or even unintentional, technical mistakes were made all over the place.:eek: So give us each 1/2 a nuggie:rolleyes:. And we can move one step closer to getting garbot a real job.:D

    It looks like it is protecting you from shouting in text by chaning it to sentence case. Usually the first word of the sentence is captialized. I'm not sure if pronouns like i will remain capitalized also.

    I can see staulcubs point. I'm not sure I care enough to fight it but I would also point out another way to determine a single winner.

    1.) since I posted the main part of the solution first at 9:56 and then staulcub posted at 9:59. I have a 3 minute lead (okay granted the granularity here is suspect, but we have to go with what is posted).

    Staulcub then posted the password at 10:01 and I posted it at 10:03. That gives him a 2 minute advantage for the second part.

    combining the two would give me a 1 minute advantage for the full solution.


    Again, I believe staulcub also. Okay the true sportsmanship like solution would be to present the win to staulcub. So I will concede the win to staulcub. I still like my idea of a tie, just because its kinda cool to see a tie in this type of contest.


    edit: okay I took to long and missed garbot last post. but I'm still okay with giving the win to staulcub.

    You don't have to dude, those half points are rightfully yours, I played no part in helping you get them. I just pointed out the truth :eek:
