-Did Valrie Bertinelli tell you to buy that refrigerator?
No but his dead grandfather said he had good taste in refrigerators.

That depends on how credible he thinks you are.
Thank you for your reply. Then, I answer "I don't know".Is it allowed to answer "I don't know" in your test?
Yes, and while you may be right, you will certainly not be correct. Or vice-versa.

I forgot to mention a time-frame for the test. While I think this would be fatal for a scientific experiment, I hope it will be sufficient for this preliminary proceeding. It is 3:07 p.m. eastern now. Guesses will be accepted if time-stamped on or before 12:00 p.m. eastern tomorrow, Saturday. Any guesses made after that time (or any post edited after that time in any way) will be disregarded.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to set up 300,000 socks on this forum!

By the way you should not have put a single number with a MD5 hash. I have no lust to try it (sleepy sleep), but calculating a MD5 hash is not complicated I have a routine somewhere for that. I wonder if I could run it up and try to find your hash.
ETA; just for kicker I will try tomorrow morning and see how long the program takes to get that number correctly. A way to avoid such cheating would have been to take 3 time a 6 digits number for example, it is trivially easy for you to add numbers, but exponentially harder for us to brute force. If you need T time, 2 number brute force would be T^2,3 would be T^3 etc (baring spreading the calculation over many units)...
The MD hash is a semi-random phrase with the number contained somewhere in it. I thought that provided reasonable protection against brute force. I tried the hash through several decrypters and none of them even had a guess, let alone a correct one.
