Hey, welcome to my RNG F@H Contest!


The rules are simple...


Just make a post saying you want to be entered.

When enough people have joined, the contest will start. You can't join once it has started!

Depending on how many people have joined, the prizes get better. I may add prizes for 2nd and 3rd place, for example.

Starting off, just the first place person will get 50 million F@H points on an account of their choosing.

If enough people have joined, the contest will start on Sunday, January 17th. 12:00 am CST


Now, about the contest...


Each day, I will randomly generate a number from 1-100 for each participant. These will act as points.

Whoever has the most points at the end of the contest wins!

Once the contest gets going, I will update this post with participants and their points.

If you win a prize and are folding alongside me, I'm folding up the points from the point you started at.

If you have say, 10 million F@H points, and win the top prize, I would fold that account to 60 million F@H points.

If it starts on the aforementioned date, the contest will end on Sunday, January 31st. 12:00 am CST

• Each week a new level is given a target time and expert time for contestants to beat. If you complete the target time you get 1 point added onto your total score. If you are super speedy and also manage to complete the expert time you will gain 1 extra point, bringing your total to 2 just from beating the set times.
  
  
• You can also gain points if you place in a podium spot against your competitors: if you set the fastest time that week you will gain 3 points, if you come in with the second fastest time you will get 2 points, and if you set the third fastest time you will get 1 extra point. Make note however, you will only be granted these podium points if you have beaten the target time.
  
  
• Submissions will close on Sunday 12:00AM EDT. Be sure to convert this time into your own timezone if necessary to avoid any late submissions!
  

• Any runs that have been posted after the submission date will not be counted for that week. Please note that Sunday 12:00AM EDT is your deadline and not when I post the "submission's closed" comment on the thread.

I've tried folding again today but WUs just refuse to upload.
From 105k and 220k credits respectively they're dropping fast in points...

Please let me know if this is not the right place for this post. This could also apply to PRF in addition to PR2
1. A block that is not safe. We use bricks and pushblocks, but it would be nice to have a normal block that can't be destroyed or moved that is also not safe.
2. Silent published levels. I'd love to go to all my levels and make them intimate time, remove specific hats, change their music, make a minor fix, ect. Without it showing up on newest or today's best lists.
3. More pages on ATB list. I know you turned this one down, but the reason I want it is to be able to see more levels without having to search for them. I'd settle for being able to see other players favorite lists.
4. Being able to view the name, level maker, and level descriptions from inside a level. On this note. I'd love to be able to favorite a level from inside of it too. Maybe in the rate screen once it is done.
5. A way in level editor to know how much art and how many more blocks you can place. I live in constant fear toward the end of levels.
6. A level type that sets all players stats to specified numbers. It would work on some glitch levels as well as make some races a bit more competitive because it levels the playing field. I think it would be fun to make a level were all stats start at 30 but I put smiley faces along the way so the race gets faster and faster as you go. I've noticed a lot of levels that have to bottom out your stats and reset them with face blocks to get this desired effect.

I am starting to run now, i am planning to run a 5k on February 28th 2021. this 5k means a lot to me because i have classical galactosemia and so does my brother and sister. 

i haven't ran since high school 6 years ago, so my legs are sore af! but i ran track and xc in high school for 4 years and i understand what i am doing and i'm not quiting like the other people i talk to about running.

so while looking up my PRs, i found my old high school rival (he is an exact mirror of my PR times but beat my time for 2mile and 5k the year after i grad hs)  and i plan on beating his PR for this upcoming 5k

im thinking i am going to post a blog weekly to post progress on how i am doing on my running upto the race day!

personal notebook, im working on everyday

Spoiler

 
me
rival
i found my rivals running page back in high school. it turns out his prs are an exact mirror of mine, it seems he has a better pr for a 5k, so for now on, my goal is to beat his time to prove-
-that i still am better and faster than he is. sadly, on one track meet, my coach didnt register me in the system and fortunate for me, someone didnt show up to the bus and i was registered as this guy  this time is my current pr for the mile as well as this time for the 800 i did the next day.


5k Sunday February 28 2021

DAY 1 - JANUARY 5th 2021: I ran about 1.5 miles and walked for about .5 miles, IN 29:35' i got a long way to go...

MY GOAL FOR TODAY IS BEAT THE TIME OF 29:35 ON THE SAME RUN AS YESTERDAY, I KNOW I CAN DO IT DESIPTE ALL THE PAIN IM GOING THROGH.
I RAN THE SAME ROUTE AS YESTERDAY, AND I EASILY BEAT THE TIME, I GOT A TIME OF 22:21' I KNOW I CAN GET UNDER 20 MINUTES!
I CURRENTLY WALK ON THE UPHILLS AS MY HAMSRINGS ARE KILLING ME WITH PAIN EVERYTIME I USE THEM. I WILL COMEBACK TO RUN THIS AGAIN SOON,
AFTER I CAN OVERCOME THE HILLS.

DAY 3 - JANUARY 7th 2021: MY DAY OFF FROM WORK, SO WILL TRY TO GET A RUN IN MID-DAY A FEW HOURS AFTER BREAKFAST, SO I CAN HAVE LUNCH.

Alright people, check this out: I've seen a lot of interesting costumes and hats get created and implemented into Platform racing 2 over the years, but the problem is that they're dead. Other than newbies, who in the right mind even thinks about picking up a crown hat, destroying mines, and such. It's all dead. Let's face it, this game is highly addictive with its quick responsiveness towards creating levels, folding for team jiggmin, helping the community reach goals, and many more. But we all know that ranking up is the number one most addictive trend happening atm.

The Majority of people utilize exp hats for macroing/simming, some people may find the new hats such as the cheese and jellyfish hats, interesting, and then you've got the artifact hat which is a good looking item. The rest of the hats are really dead af, and I'm noticing that happen as the years go by. The moon hat serves hardly any purpose, the jumpstart hat has become essentially worthless, and the rest of the hats aren't really popular anymore. 

I look at the costume ideas that have been implemented into the system and don't get me wrong, some of them are pretty cool such as the star set, turkey, crocodile, snowman, etc. But over the years, sets like the slender man have become dead af, now! It's obsolete! Stop and think for a second... how many players do you know, use the slender man set? Exactly, it's dead af!

You might recall way back when I made a blog post about some sort of YouTube project involving Platform Racing or the Jiggmin mythos at large. As you can see here, this has manifested into a new level review series I have dubbed "Principal of Platform Racing", fashioned after MtPain27's Dean of Doom series, where I review each level from a set and rank them appropriately; but here we're reviewing Platform Racing levels. I doubt any of you at all are familiar with his series, but do give his show a watch - both to understand the context of this and because it's a good watch.

This is one of my first "big" video editing projects, and admittedly, this video shows my lack of experience - there's many rough patches here and there, not limited to but including:

• My commentary with a microphone and recording environment that isn't the best, and with an awkward teenager-like voice that isn't very practiced in the art of narration
  
• Choppy and inconsistent video effects
  
• A script that could've used more polishing
  

Hello all!

So, I don't know about the rest of you but I really like math. . . So every so often I will post a new puzzle that has a very interesting solution behind it. If people seem interested that I will keep on posting puzzles. There are not prizes besides the knowledge about our universe!

Puzzle 1:

Consider the following situation: Rolling a 5-of-a-kind with a total of five, six sided dice. each die has an equally fair chance of rolling a number between 1 through 6. The odds of rolling a 5-of-a-kind is equal to 1/1296 (or 6 desired outcomes to 7776 total outcomes).

While attempting to roll a 5-of-a-kind is unlikely it is not impossible, so attempting this over and over again will increase your chances of achieving this desired result. Now, lets suppose you took 1296 attempts to get a 5-of-a-kind. Since the odds are 1/1296 it is likely that you would have seen this result at least once. The first question is: What is the probability that you would have seen a 5-of-a-kind at least once in 1296 rolls.

This is a very interesting question because even with slim odds and a very large number of attempts you are still not guaranteed to see the desired result within the 1296 tries. This question is also interesting because it a question that considers the "Probability of Probabilities."

Question 2: Once you work out the solution to question 1, determine how many rolls will give you a 50% chance of seeing a 5-of-a-kind at least once. A 75% chance? a 99% chance? 

Question 3: Lets consider you have a 1 in 'n' chance of a desired outcome (where n is an arbitrary whole number) and you had an 'n' amount of attempts to achieve the desired result. What happens as n gets really large (That would imply that the odds of a given outcome is getting smaller as 1/n goes to zero, but also, you are giving that event more chances at showing up with that larger number."

Good luck!
