Hi there,

It is so nice to see my favorite topic in the new forum! Thanks to Ana (@meiadeleite ) :slight_smile:

On 29 of August 2020 I made a prediction that we will reach the level 59 mio on 12 of November 2020:

So, I still adhere to the same prediction – 12 of November, Thursday, probably early morning (of course UTC).

Unfortunately I can’t upload a picture of my Magic Crystal Ball here :slight_smile:
Although the file extension JPG is fine.

Just in case this is my current 59 mio Postcrossing Coundown.

Using 11:00 AM UTC, October 23, 2020 as zero…

Previous estimation


…yields an estimated time of 20.5636 day, which translate to:
12:30 AM UTC, Friday, November 13, 2020

Edit: …using newer granular data instead to account for influx…


…yields a new estimate of days, which now translate to:

9 PM UTC, Tuesday, November 10, 2020

Everything looks adult :slight_smile:
I like your approach and graph :+1:

It’s (the dynamic of) First World Postcard Day versus (the curse words of) Second Wave

Three quarters done -

FI to US

My Magic Crystal Ball tells me that the 4-th knight (59 mio) will arrive
on 12 of November at 02:20AM (UTC) ±2 hours.


So, 187,350 postcrads or 14 days 13 hours left until this moment.

141,112 to go :eyes:

No, no!
Working with my Magic Crystal Ball, I left out the constellation correction, sorry.
Considering that the Sun is in Scorpio, and the Moon is in transit from Virgo to Libra, the cherished moment may come half a day earlier, of course.


So, the 4th knight will arrive to us on 11 of November, 2020, at 15:10 (UTC) ±2 hours.
And my prediction is getting closer to the last Stefan’s one.

And as it is our custom, I add – 133,100 postcards or 10 days 04 hours left until 59 mio.

Are you sure? Since Oktober 2020 is already over

11 of November, you are right. Corrected.

Good to know :slight_smile:

I still think the 59 Million will happen later in November
Around the 20th

What kind of Magic Crystal Ball do you use for predictions?

@Monika2019 Woman intuition is a very good sense, but men will not understand at all :wink:

I use the same calculation principle as Jarana
that works very well.

The last (bit-more-than-a) mile. It’s hard to guess in a World where everything and anyone (sigh) is possible. But, no offense to female intuition, the mathematical pattern points to only few days left, not another two weeks.
