My queue is now dumping its stash and is on permanent transmit till the 25,000 WU is dumped at least.

Now we just have to sit and wait (though I have got a good idea who the likely winners are).

[magman]

Tempted, very tempted, to say something.

But I will keep you in suspense for a few more days.

aha, maybe just maybe

 

[Berserker]

Given the size of that stash, I think I know who has won.

 

[magman]

It's an amazing feeling, sitting here wearing my patent smug-git grin , knowing that there are only two or three people in with a chance of winning this little competition and not being tempted by the barely veiled attempts to get me to spill the beans.

You'll just have to wait and see.

No need, assuming your output is roughly constant, I can work it out for myself using the same technique that I used to work out the original guess - just putting in your actual figures instead of the estimates I had used.

oi Mr kaiowas, you're crampin my style...but on the plus side if your h'enourmouse brainpower has miscalculated by 60 seconds I may be in with a chance.

Sorry about that, nothing personal. Initial indications are that we haven't got a hope anyway
