16--I win.
you are the same person. You are only the first replier.
2nd.
Here's the thing: participating is an automatic loss, until you are the 16th person. ;D

So, according to you, you have lost also.

Yes.
Fourth person!
What incentive is there to post? Everybody up to the sixteenth person loses.

I'm sure we could find a good social lesson in it.
Like, reverse it and you have social security. :)

I don't feel secure.
Technically, that makes me the 5th PERSON to post! :)
6th
Lucky seventh
The problem here is that the OP, Habitual_Ritual, is not being counted as a "person who posted." For some reason you're only counting the persons who respond, when the title simply stipulates "persons who post." OP means "original poster." He is someone who has posted. He was the first person to post. I think that makes Clare number eight, not seven.
I would be therefore "Number 9."
Fortunately, Habitual_Ritual is still an active forum member, so he can be called on to clarify in the event of a disputed win.
Why 16th?

Possibly the OP is a "B16er"—a subscriber to the conspiracy theory that Benedict XVI is still the pope despite his claims of retirement, and Francis is an antipope. Or maybe he is a fan of Johnny Burnette's song "You're Sixteen" (or the Ringo Starr version). Or "16 Candles" by The Crests, or the Molly Ringwald movie of the same name,
Sixteen Candles. But doubtless there is a greater numerology to sixteen than any of that.
Whatever the case, you are either the ninth or the tenth person to post in this thread. I think I'll send a PM to Habitual_Ritual for a clarification on whether he, the OP, counts as one of the sixteen persons to post.
I have permission from the OP to publish here a clarification he sent me via private message:
Quote from: Habitual_RitualTechnically and practically it does seem I was the first to post.
That makes Martin number ten. Subsequent posters should be counted from there. Tomorrow will mark the third anniversary of the creation of this thread.

I didn't even notice that this thread is 3 years old.

I think it's because there are 15 posts per page, so the 16th post would have started the second page.
Let's see...
16 = 24
= 1*2*2*2*2
= (((1<<1)<<1)<<1)<<1
In binary we'd write it as ten thousand, yet in hexadecimal it's only ten.
But in the Shakespeare Programming Language, sixteen is defined as a nice warm sunny blue sky, or perhaps the difference between nothing and my disgusting slimy greasy fat pig.
There are also sixteen tablespoons in a cup, and sixteen fluid ounces in a pint.
And if you add up the numbers one through sixteen, you get 136, which is the sixteenth triangular number.
sixteen = six + ten
Therefore, ((((s==0)&&(t==0))||((s==0)&&(e==0))||((s==0)&&(n==0))||((i==0)&&(t==0))||((i==0)&&(e==0))||((i==0)&&(n==0))||((x==0)&&(t==0))||((x==0)&&(e==0))||((x==0)&&(n==0)))^^((s!=0)&&(i!=0)&&(x!=0)&&(t!=0)&&(e!=0)&&(n!=0)))
and
if ((s==i)&&(s==x)&&(s==t)&&(s==e)&&(s==n)) then ((s!=1)&&(i!=1)&&(x!=1)&&(t!=1)&&(e!=1)&&(n!=1))
16, when a is 2 and b is 4, is one of those instances in which ab equals ba
16 = E + 2
= E + 2
= F + 1
= F + 1
= 0 + 10
= C + 4
? C0FFEE + 501122 = 1111111 - 1
