.in which a full PhD thesis has to be compiled, written, reviewed, and sent to you in Pakistan. How serious ARE you about this? Not very, it seems...
**************************************
Time is for registeration and not for submission of thesis.

So you expect the applicants to submit a full PhD thesis for examination? With the completely irrelevant and stupidly impossible endorsement requirement? This is simply a very VERY childish escape-clause, isn't it.
******************************************
I don't think so there is some problem. If you have then write to me. I will change rules for you. so that you may easily win prize money.
For each registered user the rules will be different. Get registeration with national identity card copy and discuss rules for winning the prize. We will facilitate you as much as we can.
If you feel, this rule is irrelevent, you can discuss after getting registeration. our committee is ready to accept.

What this has to do with acceptance or judging no-one can tell, except to allow your the chance to exclude people on their name or level of education - how convenient... And what ID number might that be? I have no "academic ID number" that is recognised world-wide, so does that mean I am excluded from your challenge? If so, that's both highly exclusionary AND cheating.
********************************************
This has nothing to do with challenge basic preliminary criteria but necessary for our record. Any body can get registeration but with complete acamdemic, professional and occupational status. The national Identity card copy is necessary.

I see. If the committee's decision conflicts with the evidence, you ignore the evidence and go with the committee .Dr. MAS said:

Why is the academic, professional and occupational status relevant to the challenge? Surely all that really matters is the quality of the evidence submitted.Dr. MAS said:
Incidentally, by "national Identity card," do you mean something like this? Many countries (including the UK, for example) do not have a national identity card. Do you intend to restrict applications to people from those countries that do? Or is it just another arbitrary obstruction?
Dr. Mas,
I can't seem to find the offer of one million rupees anywhere on the www.nchpakistan.com website.
Can you help me find it please?

Also, the link to "CURED CASES" still doesn't seem to be working.CFLarsen said:
WHAT "confliction" are you expecting? Facts are facts, or does your committee wish to "conflict" when demonstrated facts are presented?Dr. MAS said:
It doesn't say that anywhere in your rules. And even if it did, it STILL only allows one month to apply for the prize. If you are so sure of yourselves, why not make it a permanent prize with NO time limits? I'd say it's because you simply want the appearance of a challenge without actually allowing anyone scientific to apply.Dr. MAS said:
I have just written to you in this thread. But if it wasn't clear, here it is again: MAKE YOUR CHALLENGE PROPERLY SCIENTIFIC IF YOU WANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!Dr. MAS said:
And it's not about how easily I win the money, it's how valid the competition is. If I do apply and win (as if
), I won't be taking your money. Instead, I will donate it to an allopathic hospital in Islamabad - the statistics say they will need it.
Again I ask, what has anyone's "complete acamdemic(?), professional and occupational status" got to do with this? Scientific facts are scientific facts, even if they are provided by an unschooled sheep-herder. Or is your committee going to exclude people on this basis...? Sure looks like it!Dr. MAS said:
And as has been pointed out by others, a "national identity card" is not a world-wide system - we do NOT have one here in Australia, so what do you think I should use instead, please?

Sorry folks I've totally lost the plot/will to live with this. Apart from all these silly rules and obfuscations, could someone remind me of the specific challenge that must be answered to win the $5 prize?

It's not the will to live I've lost, it just that I feel like I'm playing a surreal version of "Where in the world is Wally?"

It's funny isn't it. On the one hand they are deeply devoted to the idea of authority as proven by titles and degrees, but then fail to bow to it in this instance. The combination of my degrees and certificates and those of several other posters here knock their tuppeny-ha'penny diplomas into a cocked hat.
Do you suppose they would have learned anything from a certain patent clerk in 1905?

Sorry, but the prize would barely pay for the petrol to drive me to the airport.

Okey doke. Academic, professional and occupational status is ready to be sent. Please provide an address to send it.Dr. MAS said:
But, we have a problem, in that the USA has no National Identity Card, just like other backward places like the UK, and former colonies, such as Canada, Australia, and the Lesser Antilles. Oh, and the USA.
These countries generally have better health than Pakistan.

Jeff,
This is the address he's posted for applications to be sent:
Dr. MAS
Chief Executive
World Homeopathic Computer Club
Iqbal Poly Homeopathic Clinic
Near Main Police Station
Main Market, Kharian
Pakistan
I looked into the cost and sending just a .5 lb letter to that part of Pakistan from the US by FedEx is about $50. I would double check with FedEx to make sure it's a complete address before sending anything off. Good luck!

The above address is correct.
The amount required to send a written letter is .1 dollar. (Point One dollar). No registeration, no preliminary requisite qualification, no academic background necessary but you must disclose your identity before proceeding for winning prize.
OK send un-stammped envelope we will also pay for you. After receiving your letters, we will send you registeration form free of cost.
