[Spoon-business] Scam of the Week

[Rob Speer <rspeer@xxxxxxx>]

As soon as nweek 27 begins, I take these actions:

                                              [[ Score /  BNS ]]
1. I borrow 100 points from the Gremlin Fund. [[   100 /    0 ]]
2. I trade 100 points for 1100 BNS.           [[     0 / 1100 ]]
3. I trade 1098 BNS for 122 points.           [[   122 /    2 ]]
4. I trade 122 points for 1342 BNS.           [[     0 / 1344 ]]
5. I trade 1341 BNS for 149 points.           [[   149 /    3 ]]
6. I trade 149 points for 1639 BNS.           [[     0 / 1642 ]]
7. I trade 1638 BNS for 182 points.           [[   182 /    4 ]]
8. I trade 182 points for 2002 BNS.           [[     0 / 2002 ]]
9. I trade 1998 BNS for 222 points.           [[   222 /    4 ]]

[[ Note that steps 2 through 9 only require that I have at least 100 points to
begin with, and then I can manufacture 122 points plus 4 BNS from nowhere. ]]

10. I return 100 points to the Gremlin Fund.  [[   122 /    4 ]]
11. I repeat steps 2 through 9, 8 more times. [[  1098 /   36 ]]
12. I win.

[[ I tend to lurk because it takes effort to actually read what I'm
voting for or against. It tends to be important, so that you actually
know what you're voting for. I seem to have been the only person to
notice precisely where the '9' and '11' were placed in the exchange
rates.  Whee! ]]
