Hi, my friend is trying to win some makeover contest. I'm not sure how long it goes till, but she's in second place as of now. Just go here

and keep entering a number and submitting, over and over.

The ranking is here

Any help would be much appreciated!!

All right I need a couple of altruistic hobos who have nothing else better to do on a Friday night and help this gal win $10,000 worth of beauty crap.

She's in third place now.

hah, I'm not a hobo, but I'd love for her to win--so I voted a bunch for her--it is quite easy to do--I hope she wins--pretty cool!

[Kalepha]

lol thanks Shannon!

She's getting blown away right now though. It seems like the others are submitting about 3 to 5 times to her every 1.

seems like some sort of program that could continuously submit, is in order

[Kalepha]

The best program I could come up with so far is one that instructs 10 people to spend all day voting. . . course, that would exceed the worth of the contest. I suck.

My best hack is finding that the CAPTCHA numbers don't need to be copied. Just type in a single digit like 0 and press Enter.

oh that is a good one

[Shannon Vyff]

it seems to jump several at a time when you just put in 0

if everyone here went and did it say 20 or so times....

but your friend is quite beautiful--and I hope she knows she can do her own makeover if she doesn't with that contest!

[Kalepha]

Thank you so much, Shannon!

The score is now @ 141,000 to 93,000 between the top two, with her in the lead. I found out the poll is going till Monday. I help out too what I can. BTW, they fixed the input field, which I suppose doesn't matter since it applies to everyone. So there's good practice for the aspiring accountant.

Thanks too to all anonymous helpers! This means a lot to her.

Awesome! I think she is going to win--too bad they fixed that, now you only get one vote for typing in all the numbers!

Let us know, I'd love to see her 'after' pictures

News channels have hit a new low. They resort to makeover contests?

Well, you could vote as much as you want, but if the news channel was smart, they would only accept one vote per IP address. Otherwise, someone could write a program to just submit the same vote over and over a million times...so all your extra voting is probably wasted, unless you use multiple internet connections.

lol, yeah, but you know what, I forgot to mention that when you thought it was incrementing more than one for you, it was more likely that others were voting.

Sure no problem. Fun!

Good point, but she worried about just that (and about the deadline) and called them, and they actually said any person can vote as many times as they wanted and it would count.

Works properly for me. I just voted by trying a letter--got an error, then a wrong number--the count didn't change, then the right number--and the count incremented up by 1.

Edited to mention that when the vote count appeared to increase by one or more with the entry of a wrong number (ie, zero), maybe others were voting simultaneously with the correct 4-digit number--and only their votes were actually being counted.
