...scroll through the thread to look at the numbers others had picked? One time I could ALMOST see happening. But, taking a number that was already picked three times makes me think you did not even bother to check! From now on in this contest I won't be reminding people anymore. If someone picks a number that was already picked & in full view for people to see then that person is out of luck. The same goes for making a pick inside a post when I asked for it to be included in the subject line! It should NOT be that complicated. Andy - Las Vegas
