That's one massive contradiction. My doubts were correct as you point out yourself. I doubted that it was a poorly executed troll and indeed it wasn't.
Should you decide to take an LSAT prop, I'll help you you out. Your statement below

"If you are doubting that it was a really poorly executed troll, then it was a really well executed troll"
is logically false. Even with the qualifier of "If it was a troll". Change "was" to "may have been" and that fixes it.
If I am doubting that it is was a really poorly executed troll, I can think it was any of the following:
-really well executed troll
-kind of well executed troll
-not a troll at all
-any thing else that is not a "poorly executed troll"
From context, it's clear that I was thinking the third option and you confirmed that I was correct.
It's also possible that it was indeed a poorly executed troll and my doubts were wrong. Obviously that wasn't the case here.

Second of all, you can't make a binding agreement to just give someone money. There has to be a risk. Otherwise it's just a gift. I'm not a lawyer but even I know that from contracts dealings I've helped with. Plus I suck at math. As in I'm nowhere near the top 10% let alone top 1% let alone top 10% of the top 1% in math.
Of course you can make such an agreement. I just made it. I'd give you $200 if you met your own terms. Like you, I've never welched on such an agreement.
The stuff about binding is nonsense as is trying to bring contract law into it. Come on, man. No one is going to attempt to enforce some sort of implied contract in a forum post. But if you need risk on my part, I'll give you 200:1 odds in light of your poor math ability. If you do it I pay you $200, if you fail, you pay $1. It's a virtual free roll. You have almost nothing to lose. You might as well take a shot, right?

I was hoping others would piggy back on with my meager $200 wager so that it's worth it. If Sklansky or Tilted Donkey wants to accept or counteroffer to take into account what you've said, either is perfectly able to do so.
This piggy backing thing is a nice post-hoc addition to your idiotic offer. If that's your intention, you may want to state it up front next time.
Furthermore, in case it wasn't clear, my offer was to you and you alone. You still have about a day and a half left. Don't let this great offer slip away.
