Jack, may I respectfully make a suggestion? The guesses should be due by a date certain, long before the record date. Otherwise, and some of you readers see where I'm going with this, I can check the list of members at 4:59 and be relatively assured of winning. Unless sniping is fine, in which case, full speed ahead.  What? Too soon? |

I'll say 110. And Jack, you're going to need an ending time for this, otherwise somebody will be placing a guess 5 seconds before your end time ....

I say double or nothing! 116 (I think I counted 58 on here now) The present membership is shown at the bottom of the home page, and as of now it stands at 59! If the present straight line growth continues it should be about 107...but my guess is that it will slow down a bit...say 88  |

Earlier today, even before this contest was announced, I constructed a graph of our growth in the first 12 days. So that I won't be at any advantage in the guessing game, I will post that graph below:  Happy extrapolating! |
