Sorting the winners out

This part would explain how the winners are being filtered and finalized:

1] Used SQLSteem to query the total entries under the original contest post using LINQPad5.

SELECT
     last_update, author, body
FROM
    Comments (NOLOCK)
WHERE
    parent_permlink LIKE 'i-m-a-dolphin-finally-giveaway-30-steem-as-celebration-or'  and
    last_update < '11/2/2018 11:59:00 PM' 

2] Export the result to Excel without formatting. Trimmed down excessive cells and rows in manually and produce 1 account align with 1 answer per row.

3] I was struggling finding a programmatic way to extract numbers(prediction) from the body of comment consists of string and numbers. This formula does help a lot:

=CONCATENATE(“0.”, SUMPRODUCT(MID(0&C26, LARGE(INDEX(ISNUMBER(–MID(C26, ROW(INDIRECT(“1:”&LEN(C26))), 1)) ROW(INDIRECT(“1:”&LEN(C26))), 0), ROW(INDIRECT(“1:”&LEN(C26))))+1, 1) 10^ROW(INDIRECT(“1:”&LEN(C26)))/10))

4] Once I got the numbers-only column, added one result row in anywhere and sorted everything in small to the big order. The closest 3 rows to the result row would be our winners.

5] Verification of the winners including objectively judging if their account is duplicate or bot or not, did they upvoted the post or not, and so on. Fortunately, although I do not know all the 3 winners before the contest, their entries are valid.

Congratulations to the winners!
