OK, this is why I think that they will not make the May 5th deadline. Dan M. said that there are around 100 judges, also, he mentioned that each judge had about 76 applications. Now, if there are 1788 applications and each application has four judges then that means that there are effectively 1788*4=7152 entries to judge. You hear that, they are judgin 7152 applications. Since there are only 100 judges then each judge gets 7152/100=72 applications. Which is very close to the 76 applications.
So assuming that each judge spends a minimum of 30 minutes judging an application he will need (76*30)/60= 38 hours to judge all of them. But judges are not machines, so between their real work, distractions, and having to stop and go with every new application I would double this time which is still very agreesive. So they need 76 hours each to judge the applications. That is almost two weeks of full time work. Unless we assume that they are doing nothing else I think it is a bit of a strech to say that they will finish on time.
