You have to guess the exact date when I bought my Wii U, I don't get why it's so difficult to understand.
For example:

Jimmy guesses that I bought my Wii U on the 1st of January 2000.
Jimmy pays 1PC for the guess.
I say "Yes, that's correct! Here is your 200PC."
You Bought your Wii U before the Gamecube released? Impressive.

My name is not Jimmy. Good guess though. That will cost you 1PC.

Why are you making everything so complicated!! It's just an example, I never tried to guess your name. I just thought of the first name that came to my head other than mine. Is there actually a Nookling Junction thread for guessing your name?

Update: If you give me 175PC I'll narrow down the possible dates when I bought my Wii U to three months. Check the very first post (my post on the top of the first page) and click on the blue "Costs 175 Play Coins" button. I promise you this is legit, behind that button is your hint.

This is a good deal, allow me to treat you with a little bit of maths:

[Charge=3]
A period of four years contains 1461 days:
365+365+365+366(leap year)=1461
A period of four years contains 48 months (one year contains 12 months):
12x4=48
So therefore on average, a month contains 30.4375 days:
1461÷48=30.4375
So therefore on average, a period of three months contains 91.3125 days:
30.4375x3=91.3125

The largest number of days that you could end up guessing from is 92:
(July(31)+August(31)+September(30) OR (June(30)+July(31)+August(31)) OR (November(30)+December(31)+January(31)) OR (March(31)+April(30)+May(31)) OR (May(31)+June(30)+July(31)) OR (August(31)+September(30)+October(31)) OR (October(31)+November(30)+December(31))
The smallest number of days that you could end up guessing from is 89:
(February(28)+March(31)+April(30))
The only combinations with 90 days are:
(January(31)+February(28)+March(31)) OR (December(31)+January(31)+February(28) OR February(29)+March(31)+April(30))
All other combinations are 91 days:
(January(31)+February(29)+March(31)) OR (April(30)+May(31)+June(30) OR (September(30)+October(31)+November(30 OR December(31)+January(31)+February(29))

Anyways, imagine yourself in this situation, you've paid 116 play coins and the prize is 133PC. It costs 2PC for 3 guesses. Now you need to guess the correct answer out of 91.3125 possible dates in under 25 guesses in order to win, if you go over that however, you will lose.

So the chance of you winning after paying 116PC is 24/91.3125. That is slightly more than 26%. Compare that with a chance of 199/2462 which is slightly more than 8%.
Your chances of winning increase by more than 300% if you buy the hint!!

I was thinking about doing a cheaper option, except the number of possible dates won't be as small for it.
I can call it: The AricAttack Budget Option.

So basically, anyone who follows your math should be convinced that paying 175 to minimize potential answers is a waste because you limit yourself to 25 guesses minimum to break even. Doesn't explaining this in your thread work against you?

You're right, I'll put it in the form of a charge BB Code.

Why would you pay 116 PC for a chance to get 133 PC, that sucks

I explained the maths in my post above. Pay 3PC if you want access.

Lol, the spoiler contents that cost 3 pc are still in Aric’s quoted message xD

I’m gonna watch this thread, because the responses are super entertaining :p

No, you don't instantly win. I said your chances of winning increase by more than 300%. That's another way of saying your chances of winning TRIPLE.
