Time for the nightly update of guesses. With the gap down to a mere 4.25 million this should be the penultimate one. MW is looking a little ropey with never more than more than 1000 WU ready to send but I'll assume that it holds up and move my guess forward a bit. If it falls over that'll give me time to revise it again.

3rd Sept @ 0000 Reeltime
3rd Sept @ 0300 steve
3rd Sept @ 0500 ianmbaker
3rd Sept @ 1200 Nightlord
3rd Sept @ 1700 Mr Thinhead
3rd Sept @ 2200 PinkPenguin
4th Sept @ 0000 Megacruncher [a little fine tuning here]
4th Sept @ 0100 Storme
4th Sept @ 0200 Jockmacmad
4th Sept @ 0300 Temujin
4th Sept @ 0400 aardvark
4th Sept @ 0500 RavyDavy
4th Sept @ 1200 UBT-Rick Horn
4th Sept @ 1800 FlyingfocRS
6th Sept @ 1700 melter65

I think that some of you should get those revisions in while there is still time and before all the realistically possible hours are gone.

Sorry, late is no excuse. Stupidity or drunkenness on the other hand... :lol:

2000hrs and the UBT lead has been shaved to a wafer thin 137,635. It'll all be over very very soon.

On checking the 2100hrs update it seems that we are still a whisker short of the winning line. With just 16K to go Pinkpenguin is almost sure to win.

....Antartica, I believe, as I was delivered just south ot the equator (pink on account of getting a bit sunburned shortly after)... tend to prefer hotter climes though because of all the brass monkeys in McMurdo Sound! 8)

Thanks to everyone - that was a great effort on the part of all of you and I'm sorry I wasn't able to see the finish last night.

Compliments to John on the stats and thanks to UBT for the fun! :D
