The Great Guessing Game at Lagrange

Lengths ! We see alot of trains and they are all different lengths. Here is a guide to their length:
  • 0-2999ft Small
  • 3000ft-7399ft Medium
  • 7400ft-9999ft Long
  • 10,000ft + Monster !
The main difference often is the use of mid train dpu's though not all the time as a heavy train may have a dpu on a shorter train than indicated.

Or: guess the length !

We do have a little game at Lagrange. We guess the length - in feet of any southbound trains. The game cannot do the northbounds as the DD announces the results first. The DD is the result we determine the "winner" could be.

It is not simply the closest to the target

The rules are simple:
  • Guesses up to when the DD broascass is allowed.
  • One guess per user. If you mess up a guess - no 2nd chance.
  • You cannot the same as another person's guess
  • Normally the user who get the closest gets the "Trophy" But (see next item)
  • Guesses have to be 1000 under,the stated length - or 100 over to qualify
  • Generally Flyboi1948 conducts the "game" but a mod will intervene if there's trouble
  • Don't deliberatly try to troll the "game", a mod will intervene.
Remember it's a simple fun guessing game !!

Example 1: Example 2: Example 3: Example 4: Example 5: Example 6:
Guesses
User A = 1000
User B = 900
User C = 1200
User D = 1102


Result = 902

User B Wins



Guesses
User A = 11000
User B = 900
User C = 900
User D = 920
User E = 2000


Result = 1950

User E Wins

User C
out of the running.
Guesses
User A = 4000
User B = 1900
User C = 4200
User D = 4410
User E = 2000

Result = 4180

User A Wins



Guesses
User A = 1000
User B = 3000
User C = 4000
User D = 4410
User E = 1300

Result = 2280

User E Wins



Guesses
User A = 1000
User B = 2000
User C = 5000
User D = 5410
User E = 5300

Result = 4000

no one Wins



Guesses
User A = 1000
User B = 2000
User C = 5000
User C = 4000
User D = 5410
User E = 5300

Result = 4000

no one Wins

User C out for 2nd guess !
