How close did you get to PRIME?

All us frustrated almost-there-just-give-me-three-more-minutes-DAMN Glitchen post here!

I was 3,312 away from level 31. I made it from 27 to almost-31 in just a few hours... If there had been one more Glitch day I would have made it, but I was done - donations, emblems, sno cones, everything was maxed. I was just running around singing desperately to butterflies.

I wanna hear from other folks who were trying for a prime level at the end, too!

  • I was already prime...level 31...just worked out that way...thought the game was ending earlier, and had already said my goodbyes...was surprised to see the game still open when I got home after work (darn it, would have left work earlier)...but then just spent the time hanging out with friends vice leveling...

  • I hit 17 about an hour from close.

    I feel for Miss Cailia though, I was selling everything to buy sno cones to auction (I thought it would be the quickest way to get them to location) but she ended up less than 300XP away from 17 with several sno cones en route by frog. Don't know if it was enough to make the difference but we'll never know now!

  • I am at level 82 but far from 83 which GOD said was  a prime number.

  • I was 37. And I decided I'd give 41 a shot right before real life quite strongly intervened.

  • I ended yesterday at 23...so...holla....not totally sure it was a conscious effort...but being a math geek...I like primes too...so I suspect in the deep recesses of my brain I thought...it's prime, time to stop before reset...too funny!

  • I was at 32 and thought I didn't stand a chance of making 37.

    But I tried really hard. Lots of gnome donations, EHSP, gifts from other players, sno cones, trips to the Ancestral Lands.

    And...

    Well... I was right... I didn't stand a chance. Got to 35 but the daily XP shrine limit (which I didn't know existed when I took on the challenge) killed any serious possibility.

  • Oh dang...one level off...does it count that I have 'prime' in my name?!  Pretty please?!

  • I was four freaking hundred away from 29. BLARRGGHHHH.

  • Had to get from beginning of level 50 to level 51 in about an hour so I was donating like a crazy lady.  Hubby gave me everything he had (as per usual - love you Papabear) but it still wasn't enough.  With about 20 min left I thought I wouldn't make it, but hubby was standing under a gardening vendor so he spent the last of his currents to buy me 5 gnomes.  I didn't even think of that - duh.  I bought another 25 to donate and level up.  Yippee.  Saved by 30 garden gnomes.

  • I didn't make it to 23. (22 and 3/4 I think at the end).

  • 41, PRIME! 

    It is also the sum of the first six prime numbers (2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13), and the sum of three primes (11 + 13 + 17). It is also the 12th supersingular prime, a Sophie Germain prime and a Newman–Shanks–Williams prime. 41 is the smallest Sophie Germain prime to start a Cunningham chain of the first kind of three terms, {41, 83, 167}. It is an Eisenstein prime, with no imaginary part and real part of the form 3n − 1. 41 is a Proth prime as it is  5 × 23 + 1. The number figures in the polynomial f(n) = n2 + n + 41, which yields primes for −40 ≤ n < 40. This is also called the lucky number of Euler Prime. It is the biggest of such primes. Forty-one is the sum of two squares, 4^2 + 5^2. Adding up the sums of divisors for 1 through 7 yields 41.

    Wow, and I was all bummed I hadn't hit The Answer (to Life, The Universe, etc.), but now I'm thinking 41 is pretty damned cool!

  • I was 403 (I double checked, that's exact) XP away from 17. I maxed out on snocones, quoins, and donations, and had too little energy to sing those 20 or so times I would have needed. Ugh, so close!

    ps Storm and Sanne, among others, helped a lot. Thanks!

  • i was close to 22, was going to 23 but gave up early because i wanted to go to sleep and take a nap.

  • 31. Couldn't be arsed to level past that, seemed good enough.
    Posted 15 months ago by malo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Made it to 17. I feel super special now. xD
    Posted 15 months ago by Tenebrae Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, if I'd thought of sno cones I might have made it. Or maybe not.

    I was at 38 with an hour and a half to go. I made it past 39 and almost to 40 by donating.

    Then, I went to the ancestral lands at which point machine started lagging horribly. I tried reloading but that didn't work. I tried quitting the browser but the browser wouldn't even quit because my machine was so horked. Eventually, I rebooted the whole machine and logged back in, at which point I had been kicked out of the ancestral lands.

    And then I gave up.

  • Oh, bother.  I could have made 43, but stupid work kept me away :(  I missed everything.
    Posted 15 months ago by Tradescantia Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I donated almost everything and I got to level 23! But seriously, what is so good about prime numbers?
    Posted 15 months ago by ItsShoop Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I made it to level 73 - a prime number but not one of the primes that Stoot mentioned. Not sure where that leaves me. :)

  • I was sub-prime. :(
    Posted 15 months ago by emdot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I was 49 at the beginning of the day, and heard we wanted to be prime RIGHT after I hit 50. But, pretty sure the next closest prime GOD listed was 61, so, no chance of that. I gave up trying for 51 once I ran out of stuff to sell/donate/eat.

  • I doubted myself at first, going from 36 to 41 seemed imposible. Striatic reminded us that 37 is also prime (duh!), and that was easy - so easy i think I coulda done 41... but didn't feel like wasting the whole hour. I'd been stockpiling items and had some extra ehsp, too. I even used *gasp!* FAIRLY hallowed powder once! Kind of a cruel thing to spring an hour before test end, though.

  • I had only just turned 38 when the announcement was made (DOH!) and tried desperately to get to 41... made it to nearly 40 but was completely out of everything by then!

    My efforts at buying up gnomes/snocones and donating them were not helped by the fact that about 10 minutes before God's announcement I spent nearly all my remaining £100K of currants on Cubimals... sigh...

  • I was about to say "I hit 37, that's Prime!" but someone's already made the comment so I don't really feel smart any more.

  • @  Meridian why did you not stop at 29 ? :)

  • You and me both, Lilith.

  • I made it to 47.
     I missed most of this last test, so while it was a goal, it was mostly luck.

  • Noob here, what's so good about hitting prime numbers?
    Posted 15 months ago by Jeff Buckley Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I managed in the end to get to level31, after chasing around for giants to take my remaining stuff. Kept being told I had given enough to each one I went to, but did it in the end. It was so pretty most places had set things you could drop, I loved joining in with that, went round naming so many pigs, Miss Melody I wonder if their names will be the same when we open again.

  • I was half way through 28 when I needed to stop because of storms and test end.  Oh well, there's always next time. :)

    Lilith-wow I love math but never thought about things THAT hard. Doesn't your brain hurt now?

    To all the noobs-Prime is a number that is only divisible by 1 and itself. The Giants like them and said you "might" get rewarded if you were at such a level.

  • ended at lvl 42

    that was the answer, correct?
    Posted 15 months ago by Another Chris Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh cheers Holly, I mean I knew what a prime number was, but not the relevance.
    Posted 15 months ago by Jeff Buckley Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Misha, 29 is a prime number indeed, but it wasn't on the list of prime numbers GOD gave us in his/her/its message. That list skipped from 23 to 31. :( When queried - repeatedly, and then again, and then a few more times after that - several of the staff said we were aiming for the specific prime numbers on GOD's list. It will be a super pleasant surprise if 29 counts as well!

  • I made it to level 17, but I wasn't on when the announcment was made- what were the primes that GOD told us yo aim for?
    Posted 15 months ago by SlimeNose the Erst Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh I tried so hard to get to 47... but I couldn't do it. I was earning XP right up to the end. But had 50K points still to go :(
    Posted 15 months ago by GavinLeigh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I got to level 41 on Tuesday.  I was still level 41 when the game ended.  Does that count?
    Posted 15 months ago by Marla Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I didn't know this was a stoot challenge. I just decided I'd like to go out Prime if I could.  Sweet.
