During the next 10 days, we're accepting predictions as to what day we'll hit one million posts!

As of the time I type this, 914World has 962,018 posts. That means we're 96.2% of the way to posting One Million Posts!

The winner will be the member who's prediction is closest to the actual date!

Post your prediction here in this thread! Be a math genius and do the calculations , or pick your birthday, or Rebecca De Mornay's birthday (damn she was hot back in the day ) or whatever day you like... but pick one and post it to this thread!!

(One prediction per person. Because there's only one prize... only one member can claim a specific day!)

-Rusty

P.S. Vanna, will you please show them what fabulous prize is waiting for the Winner?

<drum roll please>

A matted and framed, vintage Porsche 914 advertisement "The Action Porsche"! (Sorry, it's a poor pic of the prize - it's really quite nice.)

March 21.

However, we need a rule that stipulates any post whoring in an effort to affect the date disqualifies the post whore. This rule needs to be effective from today forward. What do you think?

Posted by: Rusty Jan 5 2008, 02:24 PM

LOL... nope. Nuh-huh. No way.

I'm NOT signing up to be the "post-whore" police!

Whenever it happens, it happens.

Posted by: degreeoff Jan 5 2008, 03:13 PM

OK my rough calculations based on the top poster today )weekend( was an avaerage of 390 ish posts per day....well add that up and divide by the 42000 we need to hit a mil and I got 106.3675287541998992 days (roughly) well that would put us about march 11 th.

Well I also assume that there will be down days )weekdays( where the post count will be lower and all of a sudden I am in april (which is good as my Bday is in april) Sooooo that being said I will pick April 11th @ 8:30 am ECT for no good reason other thatn thats the day/time some many yrs ago that I started pullin air into my lung's

Realisticly I think it'll be sooner but I am stickin with my above date....

Posted by: 911quest Jan 5 2008, 03:31 PM

Lets see this will be post #183 so if I can do one a minute for the next 600-700 days I got this oh hell just forget it I give up....

Rusty, you're a nut.

It won't happen by then , but I just gotta go with 29 Feb 2008.

You need to post a calender or list of days or something so there isn't overlap of guesses. It will get more difficult to avoid repeats as the days go by...

I was gonna say 9\14\2008 - But, that probably is too far out. So, I say March 13th 2008. Thats 3132008 - which equals 17 - 914 divided by 17 is 53.764 - Added together those numbers equal 25, which I found to significantly interseting enough for me to choose 3-13-2008.

I say April 6th, after carefully plugging my calculations into the Chinese Calendar.

An important aspect of the Chinese calendar is the sexagenary cycle (干支, gān zhī). This is a combination of the 10 heavenly stems (天干, tiān gān), and the 12 earthly branches (地支, dì zhī)

example:
Stems 天干 tiān gān Element Branches 地支 dì zhī Animal
1 甲 jiǎ Wood 1 子 zǐ Rat
2 乙 yǐ Wood 2 丑 chǒu Ox
3 丙 bǐng Fire 3 寅 yín Tiger
4 丁 dīng Fire 4 卯 mǎo Rabbit
5 戊 wù Earth 5 辰 chén Dragon
6 己 jǐ Earth 6 巳 sì Snake
7 庚 gēng Metal 7 午 wǔ Horse
8 辛 xīn Metal 8 未 wèi Goat
9 壬 rén Water 9 申 shēn Monkey
10 癸 guǐ Rust 10 酉 yǒu Chicken
11 戌 xū Dog
12 亥 hài Pig


This is significant because the computer chips that process 914world.com most likely originated in China. I rest my case.

Posted by: pankopp Jan 12 2008, 09:49 AM
