The Duck Giveaway 2016, Seasonal Edition

Friends, the contest is over! The winning number was 50, picked by CarLaTeX. Thanks everybody for joining the contest!

'ello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, ducks and mallards, children of all ages! It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved duck giveaway 2016, seasonal edition! The previous giveaway was a huge success, so let us try that again! Quack!

The prize

The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with real ducks in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:

Lovely, isn't it?

Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?

As I mentioned in the thread linked here, I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! :)

Why a hand puppet?

This will be our third lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! :)

Rules

Rules from last lottery still apply:

• To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.

• Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses. UPDATE: Let us spice things up! you can now select a third entry! :)

• Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.

• Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 November, 2016.

Two additional mentions:

• If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.

• If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.

Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.

The lottery

As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):

        }
        {

            }

\ExplSyntaxOff

\begin{document}

% add yourself here
% ==============================
% For example, in the following line
% I picked 1 and 27, but I'm not
% participating in the contest :)
% \person{1,27}{Paulo Cereda}
% ==============================

% the announcement
The winner is \winner, with \winningnumber! Congratulations!

\end{document}

I will run this code with all the contestants, post a video of it and announce the winner. The "accepted answer" in this thread will reflect the winning number.

The date

Hopefully, I will get the code running on December 30, 2016 (Friday), and announce the winner. There will be enough time for guessing the numbers!

Good luck! And by the way, welcome to TeX.sx, the friendliest and most awesome community in the whole StackExchange network! They give us hats, right? We give ducks! Quack! :)

Results

The winner of the duck in this edition is CarLaTeX, and the chosen number was 50! I recorded the results in my terminal and the session is available here. Thanks everybody for joining the contest! And thanks for being part of this amazing community! Quack! :)

Answer 1

I nominate the following three bright and shiny numbers: 61, 62, and 64!

Answer 2

1 and 146 (sticking to my strategy from the last time)

79 (third choice)

Answer 3

I choose 006 and 195 . . .

Edit: 182 is my third choice.

Answer 4

Maybe, 198 , 180, 189.

Good duck.

Answer 5

Symmetric numbers for me! 88 and 181

Third option: 13

Answer 6

I will choose 14 and 44 please!

Edit: my 3rd choice is 73, as that's my average grade at university ;)

Answer 7

I'll go for 86 and 92.

Update: third choice is 96 (punched)!

---

Which are the median and rounded average of all prime numbers between 0 and 200, respectively. All this calculations should give me some luck... :D

Answer 8

I choose 35 and 112, because I'm a perfect random number generator :)

EDIT: As my third, and winning number, I chose 149 because that's better than the previous two numbers combined.

Answer 9

I'll take 111 and 171 for a lucky duck.

Thanks for the fun!

And 187 for a third.

Answer 10

069 and 151. Nice visualisation of punched numbers.

My third choice is 134

Answer 11

Yipee! I'd go for 13 and 17, as well as 123! Thank you!

Answer 12

I choose:

093

and

173

and my third number is 094

Answer 13

I chose the following numbers: 77 and 21

Answer 14

I choose:

026

and

090

Answer 15

And here I am with 017 and 113, thank you for the nice duck!

Answer 16

I choose 33 and 84, and I trusted a random number generator.

Answer 17

I'll choose 49 and 144 for the two irrelevant reasons:

• It is very common to wobble something with an idiom ``Seven times seven equals 49'' in Cantonese.
• $12\;\times\;12$ is the largest multiplication that I have learnt, and still remember.

Answer 18

I take 115,178:

\person{115,178}{Knut}

Answer 19

011 and 197

I hope the random algorithm is really random :D

Answer 20

41 and 43, the only remaining pair of twin prime numbers.

Answer 21

66 and 166 because if she weighs the same as a duck... she's made of wood! (and 666 is the number of the beast and these are the closest numbers available).

(punched)

Answer 22

I now pick 018 and 046 as my favorite # clashes :-D !

Answer 23

I choose 45 and 70. Good enough for me.

Answer 24

I'll chose 102 and 103. Because of reasons

Answer 25

Can I get 019 and 078? just because!

Answer 26

116 and 133 because I'm late and these are not taken yet.

Answer 27

105 because it's the product of the first three odd primes.

143 because it's the product of the next two.

Third number: 114 (I think it's a stable island in the periodic table for the transuranics).

Answer 28

110 and 159. Just because. :-)

(punched 140 on 28 Dec because 3rd punch available!)

Answer 29

I choose 72 and 98. My third number is 062.

Answer 30

136 and 186, because... They're as random as every other ones 😀 164 added and punched! Thanks!
