MuleNag already guessed that same number.
I wonder why? I know why. But no more guesses.
I am sure that somebody else will be able to figure out why two different people had the same wrong answer...

Oh anther question was added before I posted my answer I was answering this question

Ok, bonus question: How many points can a person win playing KatKwiz and KatKwery between April 1 and the end of November?_______
I don't know how the other members came up with 658,800 - I came up with 56,700 - this number takes into account KatKwiz guideline restrictions

The whole purpose of the bonus question today was to get you to review the rules. The answer is in the rules for KatKwiz and KatKwery. Dang, I wanted you to win since you have such few posts and are from central Texas! Read the rules, folks. There, along with your calculator, you will find the answer.

244 x 2700= 658,800 (KatKwiz)
244 x 700 = 170,800 (KatKwery)

for the grand total 829,600

Oh well at least I got to play today

Most of the time I am on-line so late in the day {or early in the morning} every thing has already been said and done.

hmmmm... I guess that KatKwiz actually only pays out 2000 point without the bonus question... but then that puts the grandtotal back to 658,800...


244 x 2000 = 488,000 (KatKwiz)
244 x 700 = 170,800 (KatKwery)
..................658,800

....and I'm a math major. This is em-bare-as-king!

I gotta be missing something...

from http://www.superchiro.com/persi6

"So, KatKwiz now has two paying parts every day. The first part for teaching purposes that pays 2,000 points... and the second part... secret word, they win 700 points..."

It must be something to do with the number of days.... cuz the points are right.

OK, I have a guess...

244 days times 700 points = 170,800
8 months times 3 times a month (the max you can win) x 2000 points = 48,000

grandtotal = 218,800

Where have you been all this time! It's right there in the rules that you can only win KatKwiz 3 times a month and your math is right 3 X 8 months times 6000 = 48,000.

But you can win every single day for KatKwery at 700 points a day = 170,800!
And you can win twice in one day. It's right there in the rules AND it's been right there in my siggy for quite some time!

700 points to you for figuring this out. I almost wish you had not have figured this out, it was so much fun, but we finally got the right answer. KatKwery starts tomorrow!

Now the question is, how much of these 218,800 are YOU going to win???

Well I'm a dork.
I didn't read in the rules about only being able to win Katkwiz three times a month. DUH to me.
