Round 1

The winner of the CodeFu 2012 Round 1 is Bojan Kostadinov

The winner of the first iPod is Bojan Kostadinov

The winner of the second iPod is Aleksandar Popovski

The calculation for the random iPod touch is ((20*2)+(27*5)+(30*8)+(36*11)+(43*13) mod 63) + 2 = 49
49 = Mirage = Aleksandar Popovski

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

  • 5 numbers will be taken from the Euro Millions Lottery 27th of April 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 63 and then added 2 (to get a range of 2-64, these are the competitors eligible for the prize)
  • Example
    Lottery numbers from the last week were 3, 6, 29, 32, 41
    3 * 2 + 6 * 5 + 29 * 8 + 32 * 11 + 41 * 13 = 1153
    1153 % 63 + 2 = 21  This means the person with number 21 (this is still an example) would receive the random iPod
