nikoli.com staff comments
- More than 50% of the horses started from one-digit number gates. To earn the t-shirt you have to start your horse from gates with higher numbers in the coming race!
- The most popular gate number was 4. Avoid gate number 4 and boost your chances next time around!
- No one entered from the gate numbers 72 to 100. OK, to keep everybody racing and commenting, the next race will have a booby prize for the horse that starts in the gate with the next to the highest number, alone!

How the winners are ranked
The gate number is the key to winning the Nikoli Derby. The smallest gate number chosen by only one person is the winner. If two or more persons choose the same gate number they will lose the race. This means that you have to choose the smallest number that nobody else has chosen to win the race. What is the smallest number from 1 to 100?
Right, of course gate number 1 has the greatest advantage, but other horse owners know that too. If say, two or more horses are entered for each of gates 1 to 50, then the horse starting from gate 51 will win. Now, you have to guess the "smaller number" of those where you will be the only starting horse. The final ranking is ordered from smaller to larger numbers.
