  If you won a second prize, you also received instructions on how to collect.

     Sorry for the long wait. I had forgotten you were having difficulty with the collection process. The payment is there, waiting for you to accept.

  I posted a project here. Just bid $50 on it. I will award it to you, then upload the solution you gave in the contest, and I will release the $50.

  I awarded first place to Jacob the Giraffe, as the first with a great solution. There were a few good solutions to the problem, and I awarded 4 second prizes. In the case of duplicate answers, I gave credit to the first entrant. I also gave credit to duplicates that had exceptionally good explanations.
  Second prizes went to MSO12; Cipher0xp; Master of numbers, and Melchial.

  Yes, it appears as I was afraid that recent entries are starting to copy existing algorithms precisely... hopefully by coincidence.

  I have sufficient entries, and will end the contest tomorrow. If you have an entry you are working on, please complete it ASAP.
  Thanks!

  Notes on my star ratings:
  5 Stars *****
  You definitely have one at least a second place award, and possibly a first place award.
  4 Stars ****
  You have a good chance at a second place award, depending on what else comes in.
  3 Stars ****
  Probably not, but you never know. It depends on what else comes in.
  Two stars or below. **
  Completely out of the running.
  
  If two people enter identical solutions, the tie goes to whoever entered first. If solutions are very similar, I will take into account the following:
  -Who entered first
  -Completeness of explanation
  -Simplicity of explanation (ease of understanding) Less important than the first two. Some concepts are easier to explain than others.

  Hello, how do you plan on awarding prizes? I think these 'contests' on this website only allow one winner so if you want to give 10 more you might have to open 10 more contests. Correct me if I am wrong (I have never posted a job or contest)

     And can I submit more than one solution and win $50 or more?

     Yes, multiple solutions are fine. If two from the same person win, then that person gets two prizes.

  Can a person make a request more than once, or shall we assume the give away is capped at the population?

     They may make a request once per day. The total requests per day is capped at the population.

  As time goes on, the market starts to get saturated. You will, for example, never have more than the world's total population.
  
  Since each day, there is a bit more data to analyze, this will allow you to continue to adjust to get even higher accuracy.
  
  It is not possible to have a single correct solution. It is a matter of coming up with a mathematical strategy to make the best possible guesses.
  
  The value of what each request is worth will vary daily, but the idea is to use predictive equations to minimize those variations while ensuring that there will be sufficient money to give everyone at least $.01 on the last day. Assume that all historical data for number of requests, and amount given per request is always available.

  Entries do not need to be a single equation. There can be a series of equations with the results of one becoming input for another, or different equations depending on results of previous calculations. There can be as many equations and conditions as you need, just put some psudocode or instruction around them so the use is clear.
  
  Example:
  
  p=daily increase in number of requests in percent
  
  If 30 day moving average of x > all days moving average of x, path:
  Use equation set 1.
  else
  Use equation set 2.
  end if

  The number of coins distributed daily can't be fixed, since the billionaire cannot know in advance how many people will ultimately make requests. There cannot be a fixed, perfect solution, due to the number of unknowns, i.e. how many people?, will they all request daily? how quickly will requests grow as word spreads? When will it level off? etc.
  
  So, for the first 60 days, you may want to set the amount per request at $.01, and just gather data on rate of increase in requests so you have some basis on which to make a first guess.
  
  After a few days, you will have somewhat of a trend. Is the trend geometric or arithmetic? Is it leveling off, or moving up at an increasing pace. You can take this information to get a rough idea of how much to give each day. As the number of days increase, so does your data set, so you can get increasingly accurate.
  
  Each day, there is one more day of historical data you can use.
