Microsoft Hardware: Free for a Few Geeks

A few weeks ago, we announced that we would be giving away ten LifeCam VX5500 webcams, courtesy of Microsoft. The requirements were simple: you had to be a member of the Microsoft Hardware group on Geeks. Oh, and we decided that the giveaway would only be done once we reached 7500 members on the Geeks site. I still can’t believe that in such a short amount of time, we have surpassed that goal. It blows me away! You guys are an amazing community, and we’re growing by the day.

In order to choose the winners, I wanted to make sure it was completely fair. Kat and I got together on IM. We discovered that there are 60 pages worth of members to the group when you list all group members, with 18 listed per page. I then went to Random, and first told the site to select ten random page numbers, between 1 and 60. Once I had the ten pages, I told it to choose a number between 1 and 18, since there are 18 members listed per page. The following page numbers were chosen: 27, 13, 52, 56, 37, 14, 7, 59, and 45. The random number on the page was 16. SO: the 16th person listed on each of those pages wins a free Microsoft LifeCam VX5500 webcam! Here are our winners!
