[EFerrari]

2. I CANNOT believe you did that!

:rofl:

[Hawkeye-X]

3. Their code was easy to figure out.

Glad I made you smile! :)

[EFerrari]

10. Much appreciated. Now, you have to make a guess.

:)

[countryjake]

4. Saturday night at 11:43 PM Pacific Time

It usually goes faster when folk see it getting close to the end, so tomorrow should be a productive day.

[EFerrari]

5. It does go faster at the end, I agree. I don't think we'll make it to Sunday.

:)

[Uben]

6. Sunday, 3:12 PM

[EFerrari]

9. We have to wait 'til Sunday!

[EFerrari]

8. That's about my budget, too! lol

:hi:

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

11. Sunday 21:38 UT.

[EFerrari]

12. Okay! People are angling for a Sunday slot.

:evilgrin:

[countryjake]

26. Heeeeeeyyyyyy now!

I call foul!

(course, even if I win this one, some kind soul has already given me a star, but it's the skill of the prediction that counts, right! Right?!?)

Your time has come, Contrary1...and gone!

[Contrary1]

46. To clarify, that would be 11:38 pm SUNDAY!!!

[countryjake]

48. LOL! Sure hope it makes it before that!

[Bozita]

20. Sunday, 3pm EDT ... 30 minutes after the end of my local PBS' airing of Bill Moyers.

It sure won't happen on Saturday due to sticker shock at the grocery store.

[EFerrari]

21. I used to shop on Saturday, too. For two weeks at a time.

My sister in law and I would get up, slurp some coffee and head out really early. I think we saved money buying that way. When my kids were little, my husband and I were on such a tight budget, I had to count off how many cookies and juice paks I bought for their lunches.

:)

[Ghost in the Machine]

22. Right after the 999th one?

:shrug:


.... and that would be at 7:03 PM Sunday (EST)

[EFerrari]

58. arcadian, I can't PM you yet.

Your guess was #4, and you'll get your star along with the first three. I'm asking everyone how they want theirs distributed first so, it may be Tuesday or so. Thanks. :)

[Ellipsis]

50. 7:07 pm central time n/t

[EFerrari]

52. I'd rather donate more stars than have a flap about not calling

a time zone.

Help me figure this out.

And, thank you, DUers. You're the best. :toast:

[Ellipsis]

53. If your not logged in... the time default is eastern, I'd go with that, which would be 8:07

I'll double check your winners hold on a second.

[EFerrari]

51. Jesuswasntafascist called 5:00 p.m.

arcadian called 4:30 p.m.

Uben called 3:12 p.m.

Is that right? These three DUers look the the winners to me. Can anyone check behind me?

[countryjake]

54. I think you're right, 'cept I'm not sure how to convert OnceUponTimeOnTheNet...

they posted in Universal Time, so would that be nine hours difference or eight?

If he doesn't count, than you've named the winners!

[EFerrari]

56. Yes, we have our three.

After going over the thread, that's pretty clear.

I'll pm those posters to see how they want their stars assigned.

Thanks.

:)

[Ellipsis]
