The original "This Thread is Currently About" is back! Yes, it's Count to 100!

HOW TO PLAY

1. Count by ones from 1 to 100 in 100 consecutive posts according to the Core Rules.
2. Restart the count from 1 after:
a. a Moderator (or an Administrator) makes a stopping post (post without counting) if users and Knights are counting..
b. a user or Knight or Warden makes a stopping post (post without counting) if Moderators and Administrators are counting.
c. breaking a core rule, spamming, or cheating.
d. reaching 100.
3. Announce why you restart the count so other counters don't get confused.
NOTE: For the time being, Moderators are allowed to help Users count, so as long as the other rules are observed you do not need to restart the count if you see a mod count. However, if a Moderator makes a stopping post, i.e. a post without counting (not the same as a non-count post since they're technically different teams), it is considered an interruption and the count will restart.

CORE RULES

No mistakes. A count must start from 1 and increase by ones up to 100, save for exceptions noted.
No double-counting. No counter may count two consecutive numbers.
No back-to-back counting. No two counters may alternate for more than three consecutive numbers.
Okay: P1 P2 P1 P3
Not Okay: P1 P2 P1 P2
Okay: P1 P2 reset P1 P2
No editing. No counter may edit their post. If an edit tag shows on a count, the attempt is forfeit.

ADDiTiONAL RULES

No "spamming". Please don't post only the number and please don't post gibberish, either.
Multiple one- or two-word counts may also disqualify a count.
No "cheating". This shouldn't need to be said. Counting to 100 doesn't count if you cheat.
This is an exercise in teamwork, not rule bending.
No "spoiling". Don't mess with the count. Posts should start with the correct number.
Posts with no numbers should be ignored. See also: No non-counts.
Posts with intentional mistakes should be ignored.
No "spilping". If this is your first post in this thread, please post "I'm new and here to count to 100!"
No non-counts. No counter may post without a counting number or make a post without bolding that number if that counting number is not at the start of the post.

COMPLETE SET OF RULES
Please refer to the complete set of rules for additional information and examples of what is valid or invalid.
DiSCUSSiON THREAD
Please also check out the discussion thread for new gameplay or rule proposals or general discussion on the gameplay and rules of "Count to 100".

END GAME

Once you reach 100, you start this Sisyphean task all over again back at 1. Users should notify the Commissioner of the Count (HahiHa) that the count reached 100 and the Commissioner will review it to make sure there were no mistakes or cheating. If there were no mistakes or cheating, then the users who took part in the successful count to 100 will get a shiny new Quest!

25. Mmm, you're probably right. I know that many people think that Americans are the dumbest people on Earth - though when you live in the third most populated country in the world, there's bound to be more idiots here than in smaller countries - but they forget that stupidity is international. However, I think that all of you guys are pretty smart (especially when many of you said that you were going into Computer Science).

29. I've heard that Canada is beautiful though I've never been. Maybe someday, when I'm older and graduated from college, I'll go. And I'm not hating, @Yellowcat, I'm American too...😉

30. I don't know much about Canada other than that it's very cold and that the people are very nice. The only other sources I have are a mountain-biking YouTuber from British Columbia. BCpov's the channel.
He said something about BC trails having a lot of granite slabs, but googling "Granite Slabs" only leaves me with granite countertops.
"Granite Slabs Natural" Leaves me with natural granite countertops.
"Granite Slabs Natural British Columbia" leaves me with natural granite countertops from British Coh-God***mit, I give up.

The only other source is from a gal who used to live in North Idaho when she was younger (Probably Kootenai county) saying she remembered wishing that you could buy a Canadian beer there. She said it was fun to find the Sasquatch on each can, but you could only get the beer across the border.
Aha, Kokanee beer, that's the one!

P.S: Also that one Simpsons episode.

34. I thought that some countries has a free education, but it's crazy expensive here. I'm going to be paying it back for a looooong time. On an unrelated note, I woke up this morning to find my estranged brothers here! Physically! In our house! I have not seem them in seven years so it's totally unreal!

35. I think scandinavian countries and some rich gulf countries have free education, I dont think it should be free as to not make everyone go there and have an inbalanced work force like in America. But very cheap so people can access it just fine. In the netherlands tuition is about 2100 euros a year and thats set by the government so thats not that bad.

36. here where I live there are public schools and universities, and you can study there for free, however most public schools aren't good, and all parents who can afford having their children studying in a private school do so (I studied in a private school as well), some private schools are crazy expensive, but some of them are more affordable.

However, when it comes to universities, things are different. The best unis of the country are public (but not all public unis are good, and some private ones are also good), but the problem is that every good private uni is very, VERY expensive for the majority of the people, even more expensive than schools. And another problem is that studying in a public uni is very difficult, because pretty much all students apply to take their entrance exams, so usually a pretty small fraction of them manage to pass and the others have to try it again next year (or go to a private uni if they can afford)

like, seriously, some courses like Medicine are particularly difficult (literally less than 1% of the applicants get accepted in some public unis, and that course in a private uni is insanely expensive for ours standards (5x a minimum salary, or roughly over 1000 dollars every month))

thankfully things are considerably less difficult for Computer Science, I got accepted in a public uni in my 2nd attempt (I had to spend 1 year studying like crazy though)

38. Here it's kinda like @armorplayergc 's education. Some public schools are decent, others are horrible and private schools are very expensive. Private unis exist but aren't as recognized as the good public ones. We have some very good public universities but it's really hard to enter. Every year, everyone who wants to join a uni(mostly teens who finish 12th grade), give some national exams in a few subjects, depending on the course that will be taken. Then you can apply for every course that matches your exam's subjects with a preferance order. If there are less people with a mark higher than yours that want to take the specific course than the university accepts, then you get accepted otherwise the same thing happenes for your next preferance till you get accepted somewhere or you run out of courses. Dunno if I explained it well enough, it's a little complicated to write in only a few lines. For my course(Electrical and Computer Engineering) because it's in our country's best university, I had to be in about the top 1.5% to get accepted.

39. Sorry to change the topic but I'm so upset and embarrassed at my own country as a Hispanic reporter for CNN got arrested this morning by the police in Minnesota. He was being completely respectful and willing to move but still got arrested. Seriously, what has happened in my country?!
