And the winner this Winter is...

Lucy! The correct number was 712. Plugs to Shen-Shen too for getting the answer 12 minutes after Lucy. 
And no one else managed to read my mind. 
(For those who missed it, I'm referring to the Winter Competition 2008.)
The numbers were on the pages History, The Pillars of the Earth and Resources. Number 7 was apparently the hardest; or in other words, the males were especially hopeless at finding it.
What I found really funny was the number of page views on the day the competition was launched:
I know for a fact that the number was boosted so much thanks to a particular few males who failed to read paragraph 5 and ended up searching through my blog archives.
Note: they are not bolded together with other words e.g. "level 16" is ok, but "level 6" and "2006" are not. They are also not part of headings, links or any of my blog entries.
Sigh. Males. Sigh.
(I use the great Clicky to track my site statistics!)
Well, this "thing" I'm giving to Lucy for a gift... She'd probably go all "WTF" at me because it's really quite "wtf" for a person who's spent a while finding numbers on my sitemap-less site.But once she receives it, she's obligated to blog about it. So you'll all see it then. Don't worry Lucy, it's not flavoured condoms. I promise.

Woot, I finally won something! LOL, poor Adrian! That boy was totally clueless...so was Teddy.
*wonders suspiciously what it could be*

Oh poopsickles.

Congratulations Lucy! I'm one of the few stupid males I guess. I browsed through a few pages of your archives, then something struck me, I re-read the instructors and headed for the pages instead. But I only found ONE miserable number, lol!
I feel so retarded! -
I've tagged you
-
*covers face*
I was one of the males. I couldn't find ANY of the numbers, and I spent 45 minutes trying.
Now that I see the answers, I can't believe I didn't find the 2 on the history page. I obviously need new glasses.
-
I was ALMOST one of those males, but then I asked about it and was promptly re-directed to paragraph 5 =P
but after that, didn't take all that long to find all the numbers.
Congratulations Lucy -
Men NEVER EVER EVER EVER read or follow rules. EVER.
-
Congratulations Lucy!
I didn't even rearrange the numbers, I just left them in the order I found them in -
LOLOLOL.
I didn't find ANY of the numbers. Siiigh. I still couldn't see seven for quite a while when I looked at the page again.
Flavoured condoms aye. I wouldn't mind some sort of 'assortment pack', like you get in lollies, where theres one of each kind. Chuck in some ribbed ones, some glow in the dark, those vibrating ring things... lolol! No I kid I don't really want an assortment pack of condoms... >_> -
I forgot to say, for being a male, I DID GET ALL THE NUMBERS! So haha to you people who think males are stupid! lol
-
It's so weird to see you write winter. I'm being roasted alive here
Hurray for Lucy! I'm always soo lazy that I never even think of participating. -
I wasn't going to enter the contest, but I went looking for the numbers for fun (lol, yeah, I'm nerdy like that). I think the one on "Pillars of the Earth" was the hardest; I used Stylish to make bold text red and I STILL couldn't find it!
Anyway, congratulations Lucy! I wonder what the prize is... -
Lol that is very clever Meg!
-
LOL what's with the men?
-
Haha, I think I found the first number and then had to go do something else
I doubt that I would have found the 7 though, tricky! (: -

Damn you Lucy, those 12 minutes!!
And haha, oh you know males.. They don't pay attention!!
Can't wait to see what you got her, although I'm not sure what could be better than flavored condoms :/
