5. What's amazing is how accurate the statistical prediction was
Edited on Thu May-20-10 07:22 PM by Duer 157099
Using just the number of posts on the day that Skinner announced the contest and using Jan 2001 as the start date, the prediction was that it would be today.

That's pretty fucking amazing, imho.

Statistics do mean something, it seems. Sorta wished I'd paid more attention to it in school.

edit: oops, it was EarlG, not Skinner

8. The fact that people want the 50 M GET will accelerate the rate, I'm thinking.
