That's what all the winners were wondering too.

At I guess I'd say that it was a number sequence generated by atmospheric noise.
The value that is generated (in column A) is then adjusted by how cool the combination of your street address and surname are. Multiplied by your post count on ILF (this is a combined value in column B). So there's a certain amount of luck and also some skill involved - if you move to somewhere that has a street name that sounds funny in Norwegian then you'll have a greater chance of purchasing a pedal in the future. Column C is then your purchasing coefficient.

Fabrikat is a really cool pedal. Much cooler than remedial economics courses.

Hey the sale has ended. I'm on holiday but will send out the email tomorrow. Winners were selected by atmospheric noise/alien overlord manipulators pulling the strings through "random" lottery sales

Same here. Sounds like there’s hope for others.

All has become clear, the email was a "you weren't chosen, better luck next time" message.
As I just totted up my post-christmas finances and discovered I have very little in disposable funds, it's not as sad as it might have been

Or you could ship everyone a box, but only 12% contain a pedal

Perfect! But where were you weeks ago when this was being decided?

See! There's your issue <g>. Us Norwegians are a bit sensitive about Sweden (the war and all...at least my grandfather who fought in the resistance was).
