CodeFu Seasonal 2009 Summer Prize Winners

The winner of the CodeFu Seasonal 2009 Summer is Srecko Toroman

The winner of the first iPod is Srecko Toroman

The winner of the second iPod is Aleksandar Bozinovski

The random winner of the second iPod is choosen with the algorythm below:
Numbers choosen from 18th September are 6 16 30 38 41
6 * 2 + 16 * 5 + 30 * 8 + 38 * 11 + 41 * 13 = 1283
1283 % 50 + 2 = 35
Position 35 in the predefined list is user aleks

In order to be transparent with the choice, the following algorithm will be used:

  • 5 numbers will be taken from the Euro Millions Lottery 18th of September 2009 draw
  • You can see the numbers here
  • Those 5 numbers will be sorted
  • Then multiplied with the following factors: 2 for the smallest number, 5, 8, 11 and 13 for the biggest number, and then a total sum calculated
  • Note: The factors: 2, 5, 8, 11, 13 are chosen so that there is a smallest deviation among all possibilities, i.e. all positions have the same (or very close) possibility for being a winner
  • The total sum will be cut modulo 50 and then added 2 (to get a range of 2-51, these are the competitors eligible for the prize)
  • Example
    Lottery numbers from the last week were 4, 8, 21, 35, 45
    4 * 2 + 8 * 5 + 21 * 8 + 35 * 11 + 45 * 13 = 1186
    1186 % 50 + 2 = 38 This means the person with number 38 (this is still an example) would receive the random iPod
