i'll take the 18th

Optimistic or have I stored a large cache of work

Go on tell us!

Anyway todays bumper upload convinces me that I should move my guess forward a bit to the 20th so that gives us the following ( I think we can assume Hungary unless something strange happens.)

steve ............. 18th
Megacruncher . 20th
FlyingfocRS .... 21st
MacDitch ........ 22nd
Reeltime ........ 23rd
Buster ........... 25th
Utopia-i ......... 26th

We still have some possible dates left & you could always risk a guess on someone other than hungary!

Since it's still available, I'll take the 17th to pass Hungary.

I'm late on the scene for this one, so I'll plum for the 22nd passing Hungary.

Since its going, I'll move my guess forward a day, to the 22nd, passing Hungary

We are speeding up so I'm going for the 19th now:

15th - Last Guess Day!!

16th - MacDitch

20th -

21st - FlyingfocRS

22nd - Nightlord

23rd - Reeltime

It might be worth grabbing the 20th - it certainly won't be any later than that.

grrrrrr... I'm away and missed the acceleration, I'll take the last guess day!!! 15th

Post by **Megacruncher** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 12:02 am

Okay that's it, no new entries or revised guesses.

The news is it wasn't Reeltime.

Do you know, with just 1.8 million between us and Hungary, there's a real chance that I (19th) might win my own competition. Still, lots could happen yet & Steve (18th) or even FlyingfocRS (20th) are also serious prospects.

The 16th is over, so MacDitch can forget his chances of an Amazon voucher.

Our daily credit is increasing so fast that ianmbaker2 [ how many ianmbakers does TSBT have?] might be in with a chance. but I suspect Steve is current favourite with my good self as likely runner-up. I'm so excited that I could fart. No change there then!

... that ianmbaker2 [ how many ianmbakers does TSBT have?] might be in with a chance. but I suspect Steve is current favourite...

Steve has got to be favourite but my (admittedly half-arsed) calculations seem to say that at the daily update today we should be a mere 86k behind - and we frequently make that much up before midnight so Ian may yet snatch another win.....

There only one Ian Baker, I just managed to mess up my signing on to the team. But I can't be lucky twice, can I?

Ian

MacDitch · Post by **MacDitch** » Mon Nov 17, 2008 7:22 pm

22k before midnight says yes you can!

Currently:

Hungary . . 143,581,866
TSBT . . . . 143,559,037

Post by **Megacruncher** » Mon Nov 17, 2008 8:04 pm

Yes he can & yes he is!

As of now Boincstats says
TSBT ...... 143,633,636
Hungary . 143,596,348

The one & only Ian Baker guessed that today, 17th of November, TSBT passed Hungary to take 50th place overall!!!!
So :wav: for him & :wav: for all of us!

Congratulations that man - and hard luck Steve.

Post by **ianmbaker2** » Mon Nov 17, 2008 9:09 pm

Two competitions in a row. This is getting embarassing. Sorry Steve.

Many thanks to all the Crunchers whose efforts have helped TSBT get to number 50 a lot quicker than I expected.

Onward and upwards.
