Third time’s a charm: just weeks after cracking an elusive problem involving the number 42, mathematicians have found a solution to an even harder problem for the number 3.
How cool is this? Anil Singh, winner of our second test prize draw, has asked us to donate the cash value of his prize to Amnesty and CARE. What a gentleman!
As announced on our Facebook page, today the world's stockmarkets randomly chose beta tester #69, Anil Singh, as the winner of a brand new iPad2 and iPhone 4S - not bad for running a free download for a couple of weeks. Congratulations to Anil and thanks to all our beta testers!
If Charity Engine is working on your PC between Nov 22 - Nov 30, you will be in the draw to win an brand new iPad2 AND an iPhone 4S, delivered straight to your door (or the cash equivalent). Good luck - and thanks for your support!
When the Dow Jones picked his number at random, NiiObilite Harper of Minnesota, USA, won $1000 cash for being one of the first to download and test Charity Engine. Congratulations to NiiObilite, and thank you to our beta testers!
