๐ If there are posts with equal upvote count they will again split their share. So it is very possible to have more than 3 winners.

๐ This contest idea is not only posting and winning some rewards but building a stronger community connections by presenting some valuable information to each other. Shall we learn some new facts? Let's get started posting! ๐

I have a suggestion, in the case of @hoosain and @josephlacsamana (myself) we are the Highest number of upvotes. We should have the highest prize even though we have the same upvotes.
Or you can change your rules, do not base on the number of upvotes. That's why a lot of minnows not joining in your contest because they know they're not famous to received 10 + upvotes.
Just a suggestion...
Thank you!

I know you've got a point my friend. And I am thinking how to change the rules. When I was starting the contest I didn't want to judge the posts myself and to pick them by once I like the most caus I didn't feel that is right. Thinking of finding some guest judges maybe or setting up some criteria for winning.
I will appreciate if you have any suggestions to share with me and I would defiantly consider them and change the rules.

Sorry for a late reply/response.
Maybe you need to specify a curios facts "ABOUT": a certain place, event, person, country, nature etc.
Minimum Fact 1 Maximum facts 3 per person.
for example.
Curious Facts about the Philippines #1
Rules
Give at least 1 fact maximum of 3 facts per person.
and you need to have a judge/s to choose the winner.
You can be that judge. or if you don't want to be a judge you can use a name picker :)
Random picker :D Hehehe.
so that all of minnows can join your contest :) no need to have big number of upvotes!

Youve just bid 7.69sbd worth $20 on a bid bot, ebargain whose max bid is $12 !! thus losing you money and wasting the money of the other people with small sensible bids...do you not use https://steembottracker.com/ or do you not understand how these bid bots work ? If you need help, let me know :-)
PS The problem with people voting for the winners is that they go on small microworking sites and buy upvotes. Just watch for linked voting patterns and good luck :-)

A huge mistake has happened. I set the transfer to 1 SBD and somehow transferred all my SBD to the bot. Probably caus I did it trough my phone. I know about the steembot tracker and the way bots work, thank you. Any suggestions on how to get back my SBD...probably there is no refund.

Must be the same mistake @bunnypuncher committed when he ended up transferring all of what he had on his wallet to me instead of just 1sbd.
Too bad for me I just saw this challenge. I just posted a factoid I just learned yesterday. Anyway, maybe next time. Good luck with this fun challenge!

To be hones this is happening second time to me. Only because I make the transfer trough the phone which obviously I need to stop doing.
