Marking this one void, first of all, 9pm to 10pm is taken and your not suppose to guess a time frame within 2 hours.

I wasn't making a guess in my previous post!

Umm.. I'm well aware of that. Notice who I'm quoting. Its crunch time now.

There are about 135 posts to go now and that most likely means the winner is within the next 3 hours, which is definite I'm sure.

Right now here are the times taken and most likely winners and open slots:

robhargreaves June 19th 8pm - 9pm
moby June 19th 9pm - 10pm
Talan June 19th 11pm - 12am

That leaves the 10pm - 11pm slot still AVAILABLE for tonight, so if you haven't already guessed a time, I'd suggest grabbing that time slot cause it very well can be a winner.

My instinct tells me its going to be moby as the winner. its almost 8pm LQST and that's just a little over an hour away.. I'm sure there will be 135 posts within the next 2 hours.

Cheers.

June 19th 10pm-11pm

So the person who was wondering what post would do it has their answer. In this very thread. Ironic!

I had that time in earlier post on page 40!

Page 40??? If you did happen to make that time as your guess, it came too late and you should have double checked as moby made his back in May with post number 164 in this thread, which comes way before yours.

And editing your thread to try and cheat doesn't count either:

Quoting from your post which was post number 597: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...429#post993429

Maybe so but your post on page 40 was created on June 16, and was edited just earlier this afternoon so it's possible your original guess was something different.

Moby's guess on the other hand can be found on page 11, and was created on May 17 (and has remained unchanged since then).

According to the rules the first person to choose a particular hour "owns" it, so Moby is definitely the winner. -- J.W.

I made a mistake the first time and put a date that already happened!
