I entered my week 2 number (i missed week 1 deadline)....im not on instagram so i had to go with my answer sans hashtag help...its entered and done...fairly confident...

id love to enter the hashtag to see if my answer is still there...anyone willing to share that would be great...if not...i get that too...
I'm not on instagram either. I've been looking at them in twitter...which i also don't have an account for. I don't think you can retroactively enter them once you have submitted an answer to the question. I tried to do that last week, and it wouldn't allow it.

In some ways, this one was "easy", it's only the ambiguity in the problem that is driving me knutz....


[?|]
Yes...so this week....I tried to just use the info provided...and not overthink it, which is very easy for me to do...which then flings my hamster off its' wheel like a flat tire into a ditch. I was wondering how many decimal points they would carry out as well. That's why I played with the different weights I found, then finally settled on the one from Dodge. I tweaked the mph up and down a few to see if there were any large variations in the answer. I'm guessing the delta between their answer and mine is taking decimal places or ambiguity into consideration. Cuz no matter what i did to the variables, I couldn't make it come out exactly to their answer that I believe is correct. I figure a delta of less than 1% puts me in the ballpark. It'll either work.....or I'm gonna be crying.

My bust.....selected......the first weeks winner has been selected. Not to be confused with the erroneous information I posted previously about them being notified....only selected according to Mr. Goldberg as of a few minutes ago. I'll gladly go to my room now to contemplate the error of my ways.
I'm so disappointed... :(:(:(:(

Ok, so with lessons learned from week 1, I've run the numbers on week 2

The initial answer I selected is STILL there after entering the first hashtag from today...

I'm feeling better about how they are playing this game.

Hey wait a minute.... this guy looks familiar.... I smell a rat in the garage... :(:(:(

He's the inventor of hashtags, is an original Instagram founder, and has 50 million followers on Twitter.

AND... his name is Jay Goldberg. I call, FOUL... Probably related to the cue ball hosting the challenge. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Just the feeling of Déjà vu related to a lot that was being reported and noticed. Call'em the way I see'em. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

BUT, hey... I did acknowledge the fact that FCA was the only manufacturer doing so much for their mopar faithful by giving away their flagship vehicle. Very nice move on their part... :):):)

I suppose, you have to deal with some broken eggs to make an omelette..... :D:D:D:D

I was surprised to see that a Dodge rep was actually posting on the thread. I was even more surprised to see that he was also jumping on other threads where people had complained about various things wrong with their cars and was telling them to contact him. I don't know if he'll actually be able to help any of them, or if it's all just lip service, but there are people who really need some help getting their cars fixed.

A bit off topic so forgive me, but they really helped me. the right rear brake was squeeling on my new Scat Widebody with less than 2kmiles. It was horrible. Dealer said "mechanically they are fine" and would not do anything. They opened a case and authorize a full replacement (at a different dealership of course). In my opinion they are good people. Not Resume Speed mind you, but good nonetheless.

I was just about to reply with the same general impression that I got from reading postings related to @DodgeCares. Seems to be helpful in certain situations. It's nice that we have someone that might be able to grease the skids a bit when nothing else seems to be working. Sometimes a little bump is needed, other times a good whack.

Stormtrooper

As like you, I have seen @DodgeCares pop up here and there on different threads to provide assistance. Not really sure how well it has worked out for those in need but, anything helpful is appreciated, I'm sure. It's nice to have someone to help us get on the inside track with issues that pop up. I only wish @DodgeCares was around when my vehicle was going through the order, build, and delivery process. What a joke that was. Not the dealer nor his FCA rep could tell me what parts of a options package would actually be included in the package after it was ordered. That was just crazy. When the car was delivered, then we knew what was included and what was not and I got a proportioned discount for the missing parts from the original options package. Just a lot of unnecessary frustration from my point of view. Thankfully, all is well for now with the sleeping princess in the garage right now.
