I am sure stumpy igs good too but not good enough to donate the charger and battery
Who's won please tell!
It will be posted on the STW home page when they get a chance this evening.
WCA - I think this is a wonderful idea and very admirable of you to give up the time and make the effort for such a good cause. I have given a small donation and tried to help bump the thread. I guess folks are just keen to see what is happening, after all, the initial post you made says :
6) When we do the draw i will email everyone the number of the winner and also post it up on STW chat forum.
and now it is being announced in a different way
Patience Grasshopper! 😀

ianc - My decision is final even if it is demonstrably wrong. 😉
WCA - I think given the effort you have put in here that is entirely your perogative 😆
Now, who has won it !!!!

It is is a pronic number and an abundant number
It is is a pronic number and an abundant number
Lol - had to Google 'pronic' & I'm still not sure if it's me 😕
0, 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, 42, 56, 72, 90, 110, 132
12, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 42, 48, 54, 56, 60, 66, 70, 72, 78, 80, 84, 88, 90, 96, 100, 102,
oof I'm out 😆
it's not me then 😥
dunstick - keep going ... possibly
I've been away for a few hours - have I missed the result?
There was no draw it was all a big swizz, time to get your money back! 😛
I fear the troops will be restless this morning 😯
<stands back and hopes this has a happy ending!>
Lights done and dusted ready to mail to the lucky winner .
that is when I find out the address of Her / Him
So is WCA over the horizon and still accelerating then?
WCA was celebrating his birthday last night so let him be. ST didn't get the winner until outside office hours so it hasn't appeared, a few more hours won't do you any harm and emailing WCA won't get you the answer.
I'm quite enjoying the suspense 😀
If I'd bought a ticket I'd be livid 😉
It is an even number prefixed with an A
<Duncan Bannatyne> "I'm out" </ Duncan Bannatyne>
I guess I'll just need to wait for Trout's retina burning all-in-one light unit to be made then (hint hint).
Excellent work from all involved (WCA, Troutie, Smudge etc). Mark's story is very moving, and this is a fantastic cause.
Hi Guys - Sorry for the delay but I had a brithday to celebrate and STW told me they would post it on the front page yesterday.
Anyway - The winner is ....

Well done Andi!!
[edit] bugger - not me then
well done WCA for organising it. great cause.
The answer of course to the ultimate question.
Knew it!
Enjoy
Well done all involved 😀
Given 27 same-size cubes whose nominal values progress from 1 to 27, a 3×3×3 magic cube can be constructed such that every row, column, and corridor, and every diagonal passing through the center, comprises 3 cubes whose sum of values is 42.
Forty-two is a pronic number and an abundant number; its prime factorization 2 · 3 · 7 makes it the second sphenic number and also the second of the form { 2 · 3 · r }. As with all sphenic numbers of this form, the aliquot sum is abundant by 12. 42 is also the second sphenic number to be bracketed by twin primes; 30 is also a pronic number and also rests between two primes. 42 has a 14 member aliquot sequence 42, 54, 66, 78, 90, 144, 259, 45, 33, 15, 9, 4, 3, 1, 0 and is itself part of the aliquot sequence commencing with the first sphenic number 30.
Further, 42 is the 10th member of the 3-aliquot tree.
42 is the product of the first three terms of Sylvester's sequence; like the first five such numbers it is also a primary pseudoperfect number.
It is the sum of the totient function for the first eleven integers.
It is a Catalan number. Consequently; 42 is the number of noncrossing partitions of a set of five elements, the number of triangulations of a heptagon, the number of rooted ordered binary trees with six leaves, the number of ways in which five pairs of nested parentheses can be arranged, etc.
It is the reciprocal of the sixth Bernoulli number.
42 is a Størmer number.
42 is a perfect score on the USA Math Olympiad (USAMO)[3] and International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).[4]
In base 10, this number is a Harshad number and a self number, while it is a repdigit in base 4 (as 222).
As a repeating decimal, the fraction 1?49 is a repeating decimal with a period of 42:
1?49 = 0.0204081 6326530 6122448 9795918 3673469 3877551 (42 repeating digits)
Congrats Andi, now I have to find £250 as I had my heart set on them...
Oh well, that's just beige. I never win anything!
Well done for organising!
Congrats Andi and thanks WCA, that was a lot of fun and raised loads of money. Well done!!!
The suspense was killing me last night, though.
Rachel
A big well done to WCA, Trout, Smudge and co. A very very worthy cause!
Well done all

he is only about 45 miles away
Point the lights at him and he could use the beam as a homing device
Well done Andy for winning & WCA for a good cause.
I'll be posting the battery & charger out to you on Monday. (Troutie's emailed me your address)
Excellent, thanks guys 😀
