The Official "Guess Arbitrary Data About Lorne's Spawn" thread :baby_symbol:
-
Okay, folks! Time for some baby fun! The official due date is May 11th, 2016. That's less than a month away. We WERE expecting a C-Section for medical reasons, but the cause of that has cleared up. So the exact date is up in the air.
So y'all get to guess. There will be two pieces of info you need to guess:
- The official birth date.
- The official birth time. Time will be accurate to the minute. All time is local to Toronto-- that's UTC-5. Same with the date.
- The birth weight. Just to be an archaic prick, this will have to be done in Imperial-- that's pounds and ounces.
Scoring is as follows:
- Date Everyone gets 5 points, -0.5 point for each day you're off. +1 bonus point for anyone who gets the date exact.
- Time Everyone gets 5 points, -0.25 points for each whole hour you are off in either direction. +2 bonus point for whoever is the closest to the actual time (including minutes).
- Weight Everyone gets 5 points. -0.0625 points for each ounce you're off, in either direction. +2 bonus points for whoever is closest to the actual weight
You must post your guess in this thread. To prevent fuckers form just doing your guess +1, you may post it encrypted, but you must PM me decryption instructions. All posts will be decrypted after the birth.
THE WINNER: will get half a dozen home-made cupcakes mailed to them. If I can't mail them to you for some reason (I dunno, you're in Communist Fuckistan that blows up boxes from heathen countries), we'll figure something else out.
Note: I will accept suggestions for additional categories if I've missed one, except:
- Name, because I'm sure I've told some of you
- Gender, same reason
- Eye or Hair color, since anyone with knowledge of genetics has a distinct and unfair advantage
- Length, because it's inaccurate
Cupcakes are on the line. Let the battle to the death begin!

+2 bonus points for whoever is closest to
How many points do you get for being exactly correct?

What type of rounding?

7 points. 5 points, losing none for being off, the +2 for being the most correct.

Whatever the hospital uses.

@Lorne-Kates Aren't c-sections scheduled? Hmmm...
Guess:

81 a1 04 25 64 79 ef 87 e9 c4 50 ca c9 03 d9 35

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official "Guess Arbitrary Data About Lorne's Spawn" thread :
Aren't c-sections scheduled?
Yes, which is why it would have been a pointless "guess the date" game. The c-section is off the table now, because the placenta previa cleared up.
-
@Lorne-Kates said in The Official "Guess Arbitrary Data About Lorne's Spawn" thread :

Oh. Somehow I missed that all-caps WHERE in the OP.
Must have unexpectedly parsed it out for some reason.

Interesting, that's exactly the same due date for my baby.
-
@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official "Guess Arbitrary Data About Lorne's Spawn" thread :

yes, but some babies don't wait for the scheduled date and got delivered earlier

Lorne, do you have a PGP Public Key?
Because if I'm going to do this, I'm going to overdo this.

@Weng +1 for the official WTDWTF way to do things

@izzion said in The Official "Guess Arbitrary Data About Lorne's Spawn" thread :
@Weng +1 for the official WTDWTF way to do things
The official way would be for me to print out the PGP key and photo it on a wooden table.
I don't have PGP key. How do I make one? (I'm sure I'm TRWTF for not knowing)
-
@Lorne-Kates (Assuming Windows)
Install this: https://www.gpg4win.org/download.htmlBe careful, you might get some Richard Stallman on you.
Run Kleopatra (lol KDE naming)
File=>New Certificate
Create Personal blahblah
Fill this shit out (whatever you put here will become public)
Don't forget to go into Advanced Settings:
And be optionally be paranoid:
Give it a passphrase/password (you'll need this to decrypt anything sent to you)
Play that stupid idiot "GIVE ME ENTROPY" game that moron opensource developers think does stuff:
Yay! Click Finish.
Back out in the main window, pick your new key from the list (protip, it'll be the only one there) and click Export Certificates
Save the damn thing off somewhere
And either attach it to the post or open it in a text editor and post hilarious gibberish in the thread:
