17000 views for this thread. Of those 60% will get all the letters. Of those 60% I would say 90% will find the book title.

Is 60% too much?
I would disagree on all those numbers:
1. The 17000 views does not mean unique users. I've looked at this thread dozens of times.
2. Many views were generated by users, who only read the announcement and decided that it was too much work to take part in the contest. So I would argue that less that 60% of the users that read the announcement is taking part.
3. Having all the letters, I assume everyone will guess what the title is, so in my opinion the last figure should be close to 100%.
