Yep. Get out the vote and vote as many times as you can! There's only 31 days left in the competition.

Good find Leo.

Bah, the verification codes are hard to read. If you have 2 browsers (for example, FF and IE) and a lot of time use them both to avoid the waiting period, it doesn't seem to relate to IPs. I voted 90+ times, current rank 1278.

The contest is 30 days in and #1 has 114325 votes.

I had to go through like 14 of these until I entered the verification code correctly.

Hmm... We'll need atleast 40 people to vote 100 times a day for the rest of the contest, or 3445 votes a day to catch up. Chances are slim, it's too bad we started so late.

I think you forgot to consider the 1st place school to continue to gain votes at the same rate as they have so far.

whats the point of getting new computers. we have plenty of computers, just no one to maintain them. rooms like 6N4 have new computers that were NEVER used.. something that has to do with them not being able to get electrical cords in or something? brooklyn no-tech

P.S. if that #1 school voted so many times, they must really need the comps more than we do :X

not really, they could just be really snobby and want to win for the sake of winning.
It's much easier being politically incorrect.

Got it on my first try. They tell you that it's a 6 digit alphanumeric verficiation code.

Generally, my vision has deteriorated to the point that I'm starting to have trouble seeing anything that's not very high contrast.

In response to nelson, with so many people in our school, that isn't so far fetched.

Remember, we have to be in the top five to win, so we need to get over 120,000 votes to have a secure chance. With 4300 students in the school, each student would have to vote at least 28 times within the next 30 days to get to that mark.
