The following rules were established by Kent Shakespeare at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:
The rules:
1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!
2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and response nses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.
3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.
4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.

I also don't understand it! i did read the explanation was: if you've already eaten your cake, you can't have it again. but gosh, they sure could have picked a better metaphor!
how about -
you can't read your limited edition untouched comic book, and still have it retain its maximum monetary value?
I guess that movie was before your time, Ibby, but that's okay. It's a very funny movie that makes a mockery of all the King Arthur tropes. Certainly worth watching in the present day.
Wait - you've NEVER seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail??? Find it streaming somewhere and watch it. It is completely silly and nerdy, especially if you like that Monty Python humor.
We actually watched it a couple weeks ago as one of my kids wanted to watch it again.
