Ah, confusion reigns! That is incorrect, oh Bald One!

No, the instructions were to enter 100 shares for each of 5 stocks.

It is unclear how the results are tallied. I think that there may be a problem for people like the poster you replied to, who chose a combination of high and low-price stocks.

We need some clarification as to how this will be tallied.

Just by happenstance, I chose 5 stocks with FAIRLY close (2:1) prices. Others may have a problem if they choose stocks with widely-varying prices. They may find that the low-priced stocks essentially don't count.

What say the organizers?
