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!

4. @luminio Last successful Count To 100 we had three 2-word posts and a few 3-word posts. Let's say that's maximum and over that we would have lost. The forum rule states that minimum 7 word sentences are not treated as spam.

5. Of course, your post can be as long as you wish it to be (probably) so long as it isn't spam.

6. SSSSSSSHHHHHHPPPPPAAAAAMMMMM!

Neocompsa textilis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Thomson in 1865.
(That's a whole Wikipedia article. Short, I know.)

10. Is this hard? Probably not.

Little Zhang is the owner of a shoe shop. A pair of shoes cost ¥20 to buy and sell for ¥30. A customer pays with a ¥50 bill, but as Little Zhang did not have any spare change, he takes the ¥50 to a neighboring shop to change for five ¥10 notes. Finally, he gives ¥20 of change to the customer. Later, when the neighboring shop discovers that the ¥50 note is counterfeit, Little Zhang has no choice but to pay them ¥50. All in all, how much money did Little Zhang lose?

12. naw it is 40... because the remaining 20 was hers and she changed it for 10 notes.. and on the shoes she lost 20 (what she brought them for) but she had to give them all back so she lost 50...
this right?

13. Dunno. What I would answer would be 90 or 120.

14. Coral is correct. He/she lost ¥ 20 for buying a pair of shoes and he/she gave ¥ 20 to the scam. Of course if that customer didn't steal anything when he was away :-P

no choice but to pay them ¥50

Your 90 answer is only if the neighboring shop didn't believe him that the banknote was his - that way he would have to pay extra ¥ 50 to them for not reporting case to the police, but I doubt that.

16. I prefer some other riddles too. I have an idea for a graphic riddle but unfortunately it won't have much to do with geometry, but it will be challenging and interesting ^^
