If your Guesses aren't in by now - Your too late.

Summary to follow in a few minutes, I just want to open the floodgates for my stash first.

My queue is now dumping its stash and is on permanent transmit till the 25,000 WU is dumped at least.

Now we just have to sit and wait (though I have got a good idea who the likely winners are).

magman · 6 Feb 2003 at 00:16

Tempted, very tempted, to say something.

But I will keep you in suspense for a few more days.

aha, maybe just maybe

Berserker · 6 Feb 2003 at 00:35

Given the size of that stash, I think I know who has won.

magman · 6 Feb 2003 at 00:36

It's an amazing feeling, sitting here wearing my patent smug-git grin

, knowing that there are only two or three people in with a chance of winning this little competition and not being tempted by the barely veiled attempts to get me to spill the beans.

You'll just have to wait and see.

No need, assuming your output is roughly constant, I can work it out for myself using the same technique that I used to work out the original guess - just putting in your actual figures instead of the estimates I had used.

kolala · 6 Feb 2003 at 08:27

oi Mr kaiowas, you're crampin my style...but on the plus side if your h'enourmouse brainpower has miscalculated by 60 seconds I may be in with a chance.

Sorry about that, nothing personal. Initial indications are that we haven't got a hope anyway
