I win I win I win I win I win I win I win!

So I'm a giant geek and subscribe to Nikoli.com, a site with daily logic puzzles.

On top of the usual logic puzzles they run a couple interesting side contests, one of them they call the Nikoli Derby. They dress it up as a a virtual horse race, but the rules are very simple. Everyone who enters chooses a number. Any number they want. Whomever chooses the lowest number that nobody else has chosen wins. So if 2 or more people choose "1", they lose, then if 2 people chose "2", they lose, and you keep going until you reach the first number that only 1 person chose.

This time, that number was "2", and the person was me! I win a t-shirt! Squee, free t-shirt!!
