Wow, that sounds prophetic. I might gamble to beat the deadline (it's
in your control) but definitely I will rarely gamble that a deadline
will be extended (google's control). Did you also guessed right that
google will not have a second deadline?
I do believe though that you won fair and square Chris (basing on your
past posts even before you knew you're one of the winners). You were
just an un-intended but willing recipient of that extension, which to
me and many others were unfair. Google should have not change the rule
in the middle of a contest. And I think this is one of the reasons
there are doubts now in the judging process. Who knows, they may have
changed the rules while in the process of judging the entries?
