    How does a weighted lottery work?

     

    If I remember the formula correctly, it is: (weight x .75)+ (2 x number of past FMs run) + (1 x number of times volunteering) + number of beers you have bought Trent.  Bonus points added or subtracted at Trent's discretion.  So my score is 150+12+1+5=168.  Add 5 points for being an RA member.  Subtract 10 points for putting up "I hate Trent" signs at last year's event.  So my score is 163.  Then reverse the number (361) for your Official Weighted Lottery Score.  Trent will then flip a coin to decide whether he takes the 300 highest scores or 300 lowest scores.

    The tangents are moot.

      Well done!

        You misspelled "scam."

              That's one heck of a crotch, monkey.

              Bob, did you have to bring him on the plane?
