Today's date: 07-07-13; Time 3 pm edt

Days since joining = 915

Posts per day = 978/915 = 1.069 post/day

1000 - 978 = 22 post to go

22 post to go / 1.069 post/day = 20.58 days

20.58 days = 20 days; 14 hours


Today's date: 07-07-13; Time 3 pm edt + 20 days; 14 hours =



07-28-13; 5 am edt



(......... and yes, I had nothing better to do this afternoon :rolleyes:)

Except that I was dormant for many months after registering and started posting later and I am averaging more posts per day. You would have to go through my posts to find out the true date when I 'started' posting, find out how many posts before that and find an average of those new posts minus old ones with the new date!

Edit to add:
The end of today is the last day for guesses.

July 14th @ 5:17 PM CST :confused:

Sometimes it's good to take a break from the board and the hobby for a few months. It gives one a better appreciation and perspective of the cards.

Ah, if only life were as predicable as a math equation. :D

July 22nd at 7 PM

Thanks for the contest. :)

1000th post July 17, 6:43PM

That was a pretty well calculated guess! :D:D

Pm incoming.

I haven't read this thread, so I may be missing something...but 8/17 is August 17.

The problem is he guessed 8/17, not 7/17. You may want to retabulate the entries!!!

Actually jimivantage and I were the only entries with the correct day, JULY 17TH.

Neither had the hour correct, but I'm more than happy to split the loot.:D:D

The August 17th entry should not be the winner.:eek:

It looks like Jimivintage is the winner with his post.

Can someone else verify this since apparently I don't know what day of year it is.

Crap!!
 

LOL....I actually meant to state July...I Am a DUMB ASS!!:eek:

Sean....
 

BTW....congrats on your 1000 th post my friend...

great contest and you make this a great place:)

Johnny,
That's just wrong. Send me your address and I will send you a Net54baseball t-shirt as a consolation prize. Same with you Frank.....PM me please and you get a shirt too...and while we are here, Jimi and Sean....ya'll too....pm me.....I believe there is (1) 2xl and several lower sizes left. Nice contest....

Leon.....
 

You are THE MAN!:)

Thank you so much my friend! I will wear it with pride:)

I think with out this board I would go insane:o:)

Wow.....
 

Wow...thanks so much Sean! I had forgotten all about this, so I was pumped when I saw that I had won. I showed my wife, and she was very excited, too.

My strategy:

1) picked a random date in July and got lucky...

2) picked 5:26 PM because that's the time of day I was born....I don't know why I chose that, but that's the time I thought sounded as good as any other time....and again got lucky.... :)

Thanks for a cool contest, Sean! And thanks, Leon, for the shirt!

Jimi

Congrats Jimi! I'm so jealous. But couldn't go to a nicer guy!!

Except maybe Frank!!

Congrats to winner.....
 

Sean and Leon.....you guys make this board very fun :)

Thanks, brother!
