Although it is a personal milestone, did someone else help you achieve 500? Like a partner etc

Do you belong to the 500-mile club (runner)?

No. ... See No. 3 in Post #365.

Guys, if you're gonna guess, at least follow the trail of clues.

Hey Ben,

If you can figure out the puzzle, I need your help doing my taxes!

Good luck solving the mystery of "500"

Okay, after chewing on it a bit I'm back with more questions. .. (I sense the natives are getting restless with my slow chewing.)

1) Do those who have achieved this target refer to it as 500 also? In other words, if you mention 500 to them would they immediately understand what you're talking about? ... Or is it your unique description for this goal/target/accomplishment?

You mention two possible areas of achieving "500".

2) Is this always the case for everyone involved in pursuing "500"? ... 3) Are there more than two areas or just two alone?

4) Are these areas complementary? Do they complete each other? Are they balanced against each other in some way?

Okay, I think I've got it: It's the number of posts before the mystery is solved. We're at 388 with this post...so only 112 to go!

I'm sufficiently intrigued to want to throw out a guess for the meaning of 500 -- getting 500 hp out of an enginge through mods?

By George (er, John), I think you solved it!!!

I'll be a son-of-a-bitch if that's not it! ...


Would certainly answer these clues:

Another hint that would suggest 500 hp -

"Nothing directly related to computers or electronics although they had something to do with it."

Yeah, saw that one too.

As well as that whole checklist I had put together.



Man, I was really reaching in the farthest reaches of the universe, but there it was all along directly related to cars!

I was about to ask along spiritual lines next, going off that "you miss it when you don't have it"!

We should ask the moderators to force him to append an 'hp' to the end of his name
