What was the prize again? Was it a year of hard labor for rigging the comp ? Congratulations, for a minute there I thought I was going to win 3 in a row 
If I have the honor of choosing the charity, then I would nominate either the RNLI, Help for Heroes or the RAF Benevolent Fund. You can choose whichever one sits best with you. However I would point out that it is nearly Xmas
and all 3 do have online shops, so it would be acceptable for the the prize to be donated in the form of some Xmas shopping.

and of course all three would gladly accept some xmas shopping by non competition winners too

Well done Mega, not only for winning your own competition but for hitting the ridiculous high number of two billion! Also everyone else for upping their game and increasing output to make the calculation even more complicated :)

I was intending to reduce my output a little so as to thwart you hypnotists and conniving buccaneers & to hand victory to Buster. Now that would have been rigging the comp: As it was the team speed up meant I had to pull out all the stops to avoid the team total reaching 9,037 million. So in the end I rigged it in the way that Usain Bolt rigs the 100m by running really fast! Anyway I'd have thought some rigging would have made you feel at home!Alez wrote:What was the prize again?

Okay I'll opt for Help for heroes and take a look at the other two as well.

Congratulations again on #1 and the BIG 2. Cheers for stumping up to what I regard as a worthy charity.
