    Open Ada's eSafe Thunderball Game - IN PLAY

    THUNDERBALL OWNERS DRAW 1 - WEDNESDAY 1st FEBRUARY

    1. Silax
    2. Vegyjones
    3. Iron Chris
    4. Mat s99
    5. Markwales
    6. John
    7. Presto
    8. Fadetoblack
    9. Lowe1
    10. Secret Squirrel
    11. Sparkyminer
    12. Mathare
    13. Jollyjayne
    14. Bigcumba

    Game length: up to 14 Draws.

    The amount being played for in Draw 1 is £34.

    The 6 digit combination has now been set.
    The combination is made up of the digits 1 through to 0.
    Digit(s) in the combination can occur more than once.

    The person whose Thunderball is drawn on Wednesday evening must post their 6 digit choice of combination on this thread by NO LATER than midnight Friday 3rd February.
    Failure to do so will result in the prize money being permanently reduced.

    If your name is highlighted in the above list and your Thunderball is drawn, then you will win DOUBLE money - £68, if your chosen combination opens the safe.

    A different person will be chosen at random & highlighted in each Thunderball Owners List posted before each draw.
    People may be highlighted more than once throughout the game but NOT in consecutive draws.

    If the chosen combination fails to open the eSafe, then the drawn Thunderball becomes available for new ownership.

    The new owner will be determined by the first person correctly answering a question that I will post on the game's REGISTER thread at some time AFTER Draw 1 but BEFORE midnight Friday.

    The actual draw itself will determine whether the prize money goes up or down for Draw 2. This will be made clear in Saturday's Draw post, when the updated Owners List will also be posted.

    Good Luck to you all.....I suppose.

    Ada.

    PS. I have this horrible feeling already, that I'm going to get relieved of a fair old wedge by the end of this game. Oh well c'est la vie...let's wait & see.

    Make sure you monitor the 'Open Ada's eSafe Thunderball Game - REGISTER' thread to answer a question to become the new owner of Thunderball number 4 for Draw 2 on Saturday.

    Anyone can answer the question - current Thunderball 'owners', including Mat s99, & anyone else who is following the game.

    All you have to do is to be first to post the correct answer.

    The question will be posted some time between now & midnight Friday on the 'Open Ada's eSafe Thunderball Game - REGISTER' thread.

    Ada.

    Mat s99, you have 5 hours to post your chosen 6 digit combination.

    If you fail to do so the eSafe prize money will be reduced by £14.

    I will update the Owners list & apply the RULES to establish how much you are playing for in Saturday's draw at midnight tonight.

    Iron Chris,

    Thanks for posting your choice so promptly.....

    Now, this may not come as too much of a shock to you, but...

    Your combination: 689357 has FAILED to open my eSafe, but what I can tell you is...

    You have correctly picked 2 of the combination numbers OF WHICH 1 is in the correct position of the combination sequence.
    (Using the Mastermind game scoring: WHITE PEGS:1; BLACK PEGS:1)

    The prize money now returns to £16.

    The next question to become the new owner of Thunderball 3 will be posted on the REGISTER thread at noon on Sunday.

    For the record: The only person on this planet who is NOT allowed to post an answer to the question is FADETOBLACK, who already owns 2 Thunderball numbers.
    Anyone else is welcome to have a go!

    (Makes you feel kinda unique doesn't it Fade...?:wink )

    Ada.

    I reckon 2 more (reasonable guesses)
    and I'll have it.

    As long as (Thunderball) number 2 don't get called in the next 2 draws, and somebody don't strike lucky in the next couple of goes! :D

    Ada, does this mean that if Sparky didn't post an answer in time that the next contestant would be paying you £2 if they got the right answer? :wink

    :D Good point BigC :D

    In all the 15 'test' games I have run prior to posting this as the real game that it now obviously is...

    Not once out of 15 'games' using scenarios of the eSafe being opened after 8, 11 & 14 draws has the prize money dipped below £14.
    The most I would have had to have stumped up would have been £72.

    As this game is annoyingly heading towards zero prize money as opposed to something more enticing, I will NOT allow the prize fund to drop below £5, regardless of the RULES & penalties.

    The other thing I suppose I should make clear now is that at whatever stage someone opens my eSafe, the game does NOT end there.

    There is a final element to the game which as yet I have not disclosed, but there could be a situation where you could possibly win far in excess of the amount of what was in the eSafe when you managed to open it....or...

    Conversely, you could win an amount less than what was in the eSafe when you opened it, OR in the worst case scenario....absolutely nothing.

    It all depends on a decision that you will have to make after posting the correct combination.

    Ada.

    My guess is a bit of symmetry.
    051150

    Sparky,

    Your combination: 051150 has FAILED to open my eSafe, but what I can tell you is...

    You have correctly picked 1 of the combination numbers OF WHICH 0 are in the correct position of the combination sequence.
    (Using the Mastermind game scoring: WHITE PEGS:1; BLACK PEGS:0)

    The next question to become the new owner of Thunderball 11 will be posted on the REGISTER thread at around 20:45 Monday.

    For the record: The only people who are NOT allowed to post an answer to the question are FADETOBLACK & IRON CHRIS, who each already own 2 Thunderball numbers.
    Anyone else is welcome to have a go!

    Good Luck

    Ada.
