@noob404 here's an advice if you are using an automated script for comments you might get banned without any warning

What makes you think I am using an automated script? I have been manually copy pasting stuff from websites. Infact, I have been going through most facts to make sure there's no repetition.

The time taken to post exactly 4 posts in a minute, it's a huge red flag if you know what i mean.

C'mon man. This is what I am doing to avoid the 5 posts/minute limitation. I am manually copying each fact posting 4 in a minute and then I start the timer manually, then wait for it to complete before posting the next 4.

Just curious, why targeting just me? Don't you see other members as well?

I ain't targeting anyone, I just informed you as there were similar cases last year as well. Just a friendly piece of advice.

LOL, I was using a watch with a second hand for last years NY thread. I guess I am old.

I am more like reading, copying, pasting, checking, and it takes more time IG.

To save some some time while posting, I usually have the facts prepared a day before. It is more time consuming, I know, but, the posting becomes faster and I can try to avoid repetition as much as possible. All this doesn't save me any time for studies. I am just hoping the paper setter decides to post questions from this thread. LOL! If that happens, I'd prolly set the highest score.

What exams are we talking about?

I thought I had mentioned this. Might have missed it. I am gonna give you a clue - Exams that are a minimum requirement for getting married in India.

That should be a good one. Glad I did not need to take an exam to get married.

LOL! It's not what you think it is. The Indian society, in most cases sets a high bar for grooms, who are supposed to have stable government jobs. Thus, the answer is Government exams.

Ok, that seems better.

But, since you say, it reminds me of an incident where a bride called off her wedding after groom failed a math test - https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/bride-calls-off-marriage-after-groom-fails-maths-test/story-aBl5j6mZFmd78qJXQDEbzK.html

Its true that in some Indian states, Maths is really important, it defines you as a person.

I have always been better at math than the wife, so I should be safe on that one.
But if the wife gave me an exam on other things, I might fail. Then life would not have been so good.

P.S. Congratulations. I wish you much happiness and many children.

Not yet there. Still have to work my ass off for that Govt. exam. And, I dunno why the Acer Nitro laptop looks much better an option than the Xbox each passing day, mainly because I won't be able to afford games on the Xbox and won't be using it for gaming anyways. The laptop would help me bring my electricity bill down for purposes such as this.
I am looking forward to the laptop now. I am not sure if I can stay on top for that to happen, but, it'd be sweet if it did. I hope you don't mind.

No problem as far as I am concerned, I was going for the TV. I'm not trying to catch you, just trying to stay ahead of the crowd that is chasing me.

Thanks a lot, bro. No, I was just asking for your advice. I am not sure for how long I can keep doing this. My right hand started twitching yesterday and has been aching. Relieved after I slept, but, I might have to slow down. Will try to, but, no matter, how much physically I wanna leave the thread and get back to my studies, my mind won't let me.

Just an FYI, it took a little over 8,000 comments for me to win the last NY thread. There are always more comment required for NY than BF. Good luck.

OMG! That's a much bigger number than what I was expecting. Any ideas the 2nd position's number of comments?
