Predict the date: 200,000 members
On the 31st December 2011, MobileRead welcomed its 150,000th member.
We are now very close to 200,000 members. I want people to guess what date and time the 200,000th member will join, in three hour time slots, all GMT. ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED. Good luck, everyone! Here's a zoomed in graph on recent membership numbers, covering the six weeks from 1st February. I think it's clear that we will reach 200,000 members before 14th March. I will update the graph every day as far as possible. Guess early, and you won't have as much data. Guess late, and someone might already have grabbed your preferred time slot! Entries: 2nd March 12:00-15:00 — JSWolf 3rd March15:00-18:00 — troll05 18:00-21:00 — Ekaros 21:00-24:00 — Hamlet53 09:00-12:00 — pdurrant 4th March12:00-15:00 — Bilbo1967 15:00-18:00 — Javed 18:00-21:00 — red_phoenix 18:00-21:00 — dreams 6th March15:00-18:00 — vivaldirules 9th March12:00-15:00 — WT Sharpe 15th March15:00-18:00 — poohbear_nc 18:00-21:00 — maianhvk NB No actual prize provided. Only the glory of getting it right. The guesses for the date competition, closing date 31st October 2012: Spoiler:
