I neglected to mention, Major D, that I thought your personal caption for the “I am not a robot” meme was not only exceedingly clever but also extremely humorous.

I’ll be the first to admit that I can no longer follow this trail of bread crumbs either away from or toward the Mint Witch’s cottage. I hereby surrender to the Gods of Perpetual Confusion. 😉

The Turing Test was meant to determine if an AI could think like a human. Now we face trials by AIs to verify that we humans can think like a human. Does this mean that while no AI has ever passed the Turing Test they are regardless of that already more consciously human than humans to begin with?

Unless the Mint miscalculated and has oversold the available product, then the Mint will go back and retroactively decide a date by which you will or will not get the next release under the subscription enrollment. This happened before, when I did not make the cut-off.

Glad you found it Kaiser. For others, Mint Item #R3 is the AI$ 25-coin roll-D mint Subscription. However, I do not believe that the product limit for this was the starting number available- which would mean that 5,964 of the rolls were “sold” by subscription.

Is that a bridge or an overpass?

Congrats, Major D! The great mystery has apparently come to an auspicious conclusion and now we will be able to acquire the Mint coins of our choice after all without battling the BOTS etc.

My subscriptions are back!

Tom, I believe what might be missing from that calculation is the fact that an inactive subscription item can only be activated if all of the subscriptions for that item haven’t already sold out. In other words, the Mint isn’t promising activation of a subscription item under any circumstances but rather only if there are any items left to be subscribed to and even then only up to three days before the item’s release day.

Cool, FVii. Happy for you of course and also can’t help but hope that your excellent fortune is seriously contagious!
