Thank you for tagging me, @R2elk
and, YES, @casportpony & @Kiki I did some rough calculations. BUT......it was using your hint and now, so not a full weekend included...so I may well be 'over' As we all know, posting isn't linear

Posts from 10/1 through 10/7

And the top posters for that time period:

That is not too far out of line with my calculations (the 7 day is a little over, this is a little under) That said, I'm going to use statistical reasoning/averaging from my very non-random sampling and adjust my guess to:

10/25/2022 @ 12:00 am (i.e. midnight on the 24th/25th cusp!)

Thank you!!

Great
So, in other words.....why did I bother do any math, as it will be meaningless in this contest.

Not meaningless and the deadline leaves you plenty of opportunity to continue to improve your calculations and change your guess.

I'd like to change mine to 10/23/2022 @ 3:00 pm, please.

It is a lot of work and very time consuming to keep track of everyone's guess.



It is your job to make sure your guess is available.
The Google Sheet, listed in post one, is there for this exact reason...to help make your job of making sure your guess is available easier.
