Here's to your attempt to reach 1,000,000 by December 31, 2017.

By the way, I win.

You missed the "if". I have no intention of actually following such a mad plan, and, as mentioned before, auto-posting bots can't win, since the poster has to be a person.

I win!
Ah, you're right. I forgot the minutes. My result says how long it would take if you posted once an hour...

So why not aim a bit higher? With one post per minute you could reach your billionth win by 3917 CE.

Is that C? The only programming language I have some familiarity with is Basic (I wrote a massive database using it), but something seems to be missing with the above code although I could be wrong. The above doesn't equal my program (which is a Basic version of the original) but it seems to just say: "The winner is PieMan597."

This might be more accurate:

10 Print "PieMan597 is the winner."
20 Print "PieMan597 encountered someone with a fork."
30 Print "PieMan597 is an X-pie."
40 END

Who needs a fork? Have you watched a pie eating contest?
