Thank you for mentioning me! I have nothing against Thom, but I wouldn´t say he was guessing. He just used a strategy (maybe influenced by a certain scoundrel): Saw my guess, added something and had won, had the right answer been anything between my guess and 3600. I´m not that proud of my "victory". It was all too easy to predict a result <3500. Btw. it´s a pity that Brent couldn´t (wouldn´t) fulfil. A logarithmian extrapolation pointed on a value around 3450. On the other hand the road now lies open to a new record for a man with stamina and motivation. Maybe mr Pochmann will be the next?

The actual result was 3141.59, so well done in making that guess. Not the closest guess overall (Rune was closer by 1.5 cubes), but it definately deserves honorary mention. Nice job Brent, I'd die after about 200 cubes. Well done. And nice job Chris, Thom, and Rune for their outstanding guesses. And thanks to Tyson, Leyan, etc. for facilitating this event. Tim Yahoo!
