Silver might be doing some throttling or overclocking if it might help me or my pirate chum

You guys are truly a band of pirates.
Remind me to never bet on the opposite side of the book from you guys.
A round of rum for my mates.

Always remember to count your fingers after shaking hands with a pirate. Yarrr !! :pirate:

The state of play is:

PinkPenguin .... 9,028
MacDitch .........9,030
Megacruncher ... 9,031
Alez ............... 9,032
Silver ............. 9,033
Janos ............. 9,034
Buster ............ 9,035
Andy Manzie...... 9,059
Cyclone Ranger . 9,063

I'm on 1,991.4 and the team's on 9,003.1 which means that the best guesses are probably already bagged. But anyone wanting to revise theirs should do so soon lest they fall foul of the 24 hour rollback rule! I reckon that the comp has at most 55 hours left to run.

Don't worry Buster, you're in with a good chance, if I don't get it I'll do my best to hand it to you. I think the gloves are well & truly off, tactics cut both (or it seems more) ways, and we old-timers have to stick together!

Situation now is that:
I am on 1994.7.
TSBT is on 9,017.3
9,031 will be exceeded, no bother,

so I shall aim for 9,036.
I'll try & avoid any outright cheating (as referee that'll be easy enough) but just look out for a sudden interest in Einstein and Seti!

I'm jumping for 9,037 but I recon Buster has it at 9,035

Andy Manzie · Post by **Andy Manzie** » Sat Nov 09, 2013 8:11 pm

I should have stayed with my original estimate of 9,035

Post by **Megacruncher** » Sat Nov 09, 2013 11:22 pm

I have to say that the team is tearing along at a very impressive lick. Impressed as I am by my own 4 million per day over the last week, TSBT's 12.7 million per day is quite jaw dropping.

8)

I'm 1.7 million short and the team total stands at 9,029.7. Which means that the comp will end in about 10 hour. If I'm up early enough and get all the machines updated timeously.

There certainly isn't scope for any valid or useful revised guesses so the final guesses are:

PinkPenguin .... 9,028
MacDitch .........9,030
Silver ............. 9,033
Janos ............. 9,034
Buster ............ 9,035
Megacruncher ... 9,036
Alez ............... 9,037
Andy Manzie...... 9,059
Cyclone Ranger . 9,063

Your right Mega, I looked at the stats earlier and thought 12.7 million was either amazing or a mistake!

I'm beginning to think i would've been better sticking to my my initial guess of 9,041

And so I did!

10am scores were

TSBT 9,036,255,329
Mega 2,000,007,604

Yay for me! :wav:

Alez as runner up gets to choose the charity I give the prize to.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Sun Nov 10, 2013 10:50 am

What was the prize again? Was it a year of hard labor for rigging the comp ?

Congratulations, for a minute there I thought I was going to win 3 in a row

If I have the honor of choosing the charity, then I would nominate either the RNLI, Help for Heroes or the RAF Benevolent Fund. You can choose whichever one sits best with you. However I would point out that it is nearly Xmas

and all 3 do have online shops, so it would be acceptable for the the prize to be donated in the form of some Xmas shopping.

http://www.rnlishop.org.uk/
http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/
http://www.rafbf.org/

and of course all three would gladly accept some xmas shopping by non competition winners too

Well done Mega, not only for winning your own competition but for hitting the ridiculous high number of two billion! Also everyone else for upping their game and increasing output to make the calculation even more complicated :)

Congratulations!

I lost by 255,030. Damn that little toe.

Nice job Willie, I think.

Good choices Mr Pirate

Post by **PinkPenguin** » Sun Nov 10, 2013 2:30 pm

Well done... No.1, over 2 Big Ones and now, competition winner... :wav:

I got a feeling we're not going to hear the end of this for a while!

I was intending to reduce my output a little so as to thwart you hypnotists and conniving buccaneers & to hand victory to Buster. Now that would have been rigging the comp: As it was the team speed up meant I had to pull out all the stops to avoid the team total reaching 9,037 million. So in the end I rigged it in the way that Usain Bolt rigs the 100m by running really fast! Anyway I'd have thought some rigging would have made you feel at home!

Okay I'll opt for Help for heroes and take a look at the other two as well.

Scandalous, I'm shocked you would resort to such underhanded tactics to thwart my world competition domination

Congratulations again on #1 and the BIG 2. Cheers for stumping up to what I regard as a worthy charity.
