Does that mean 'voting' is now closed?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

You'll need a couple more posts to hit the 25-post requirement, but I'm sure you'll hit that and good luck!

So with the betting now closed is derivative action possible? For example: I now calculate Shedman as the winner. I offering 10£ for a 25% share of his win - when he wins I get 25£ of his order - in the unlikely event he losses - I would pay him 10£!   All sorts of possibilities exist.

If there's the remotest chance of ME winning, I shall stop posting immediately.  :D

Reading that made my head hurt - Maths was always my worse subject! - so count me out  ;D

I'm not very good at maths either. I could help you with this particular one however. At this moment there needs to be 259 more posts by 1830 today for me to win. I am willing to sell you a 100% share of my winnings for - oh - I don't know - 5p? (Payable only should I lose)  You need to act quickly however!  :D
Oops - never mind!

259 in an hour might be tricky.

It's going to be interesting to see if that block of guesses on the 19th were a bit early, leaving it between those 3 members on the 20th.

I'll get the Centurion mould out in case it carries over onto the 21st...   ;)

Well, just get ready, and if you pass midnight on the 20th, just cast 100£ worth of them.

edit:   

Now a serious question, if it happens on the 21st, but the last entry on the 20th was closer than the first entry on the 21st, who gets the prize? The one who entered 21st? Since he got the date right, or the one on the 20th, because his time was closer? :/

Closest to the time, so if it's 01:05 on the 21st, 23:00 on the 20th is closer than 06:00 on the 21st.

The winner will be between 'Fred' and 'Shedman' by the looks of things !

It's getting REALLY close, now !

Good luck, Guys.

The rate of posting has really slowed this week - at the weekend I thought I had gone far too late, but now it may be too soon.

Will be much checking of Internet at work this morning!

Don't you have enough to paint already Fred? Then again, you keep a very good painting diary, so if you win we can all enjoy it.
