i had a quick play with the data - it seems all the entries for day1 add up to 261908. BUT if you add all the data for the entry data as it now stands it adds up to 100 each time.

so it looks like they are dividing the data on each day by the sum of that days data, multiplied by 100.

or, to put it in a simpler way, the numbers in those xml pages are percentages of the total that day..

The only problem is those daily totals aren't anywhere, are they? I suppose one way of working it out is to have a program that tries every possible total between 200,000 and 300,000 to see which created whole numbers? Thats a bit of a fiddle though... any thoughts?

I won! 9:31am, entered about 20 codes for the draw. I can't tell my daughter yet, as she wants one as well. May have to buy more crips.

Awww I was entering like crazy the first week - over 200 entries both npn and packets - and nothing. Didn't help that I got so stressed as I've been trying to win an ipod mini for ages now with different comps. I've only gone and stressed myself into depression (again!) ..... ridiculous....... please don't stress out anyone over it - or you'll end up like me and you don't want to do that!!

Bought 2 bags of 24 multipacks wednesday with the intention of getting up early to send in codes from walkers site, the stats suggest less people enter 6am - 7am, I used firefox to open 12 tabs and fill in details ready to send all in one 5 min slot. Decided to enter 4 lots of 12 as opposed to 2 lots of 24 or 48 all at once.
2nd lot of 12 won me an ipod so I'm well chuffed.

Just seen this thread and my daughter would love an Ipod. How do you enter? (Can't read all of the thread) Can you enter without a code off a packet?

Thanks!!! :j :j

you can enter via the codes off walkersnpn.com but you'll have to text in the code - so it costs around 10p a shot.
