Then could you explain the fuzzy math involved? How does 50,000 minus 1000 equal 48,677.5 instead of 49,000?
(While you're at it, please provide any evidence you're aware of that explains how this is not a ... questionable ... attempt to trick posters into giving you money.)
After I told Clippy that delivery of the money in two years was acceptable, Clippy proposed getting a bonus for early delivery, and I agreed to 15%/year.
So $50,000 - 1000*1.15^2 = 48677.5.
Perhaps some could see this as a questionable attempt to trick Clippy into giving me money, but I do intend to fulfill my promise of delivering the paperclips 50 years from now. I'm not asking any posters besides Clippy to give me money. This top-level post by Clippy does read like an attempt to trick people into giving me money, but I'm not Clippy and I think that this top-level post is a not very good idea that has 0+ chance of actually happening.
Btw, Clippy claims that the check in the mail to SIAI was sent last Wednesday and I have not yet received confirmation that SIAI got it. :(
Update: User:Kevin confirms that SIAI has received a donation of 1000 USD with sufficient evidence that it came from me.
Was it paperclipped to a piece of paper, or do you prefer to not let paperclips out of your possession?
Your intution is correct. It was stapled.
