[ScubaET]

Watching this thread live was way more exciting than expected, even without a bet made or a postcard to register!

[nnniiina]

I actually got it on screen shot!

Hurray for all of us for the new million!

So! Postcard number 63,000,000 was registered at 18/Aug/2021 07:12:45 UTC, and traveled from the US to Taiwan in 19 days:

Postcrossing postcard US-7750150 from U.S.A.

There’s no photo yet, but we’ll poke the recipient and check if they can upload it.

Congratulations to everyone!
And I ask @LyudmilaS please to send me in a personal message the address to which you would like to receive a prize card with a Magic Mandala

And it’s time to launch the next 64 million countdown

[Florallle]

Wouldn’t it be great if we passed the 64 million mark on… World Postcard Day!

[LyudmilaS]

Oh, I will be very happy to receive your magic mandala! I am sure it will bring me luck!

[Jarana]

Yes, that would be great!

[Stevyy]

@Florallle

Wouldn’t it be great if we passed the 64 million mark on… World Postcard Day!

Would be great, but not very realistic, as average for the mios are ~70 days the last years (65 for the recent one). But maybe postcrossing will become super-in in some circles the next weeks.

@greenskull

So, the most talented diviners in this countdown are:

Not that I am in for the title/card, as the countdown itself is fun enough. Still it’s ‘strange’ that a guess around 15k/1 day to go is more talented than a guess* around 990k/65days

*I know that it’s the adaptions during the journey that spoil my accuracy

Vicki quite rightly noted above:

@mundoo

no point in updating predictions as it gets so close. The best one is the one you did right at the beginning. Let’s see how close you got then.

The cost of error rises as we get closer to the moment of truth.
I also sin with bets until the last moment.
But this is just a game.

The accounting methodology that I use to evaluate the most talented diviner is described in some detail here:

I’ll change it then:

Wouldn’t it be great if the 64 millionth was a postcard sent on World Postcard Day.

[greenskull]

Sent!

Congratz @LyudmilaS, happy to read you got another moment of fame today!

[Stevyy]

That is a possibility, indeed

[dynamiccookies]

And the 63,000,000th card has been added to the Postcrossing Wikipedia’s Postcard Milestones table.

[greenskull]

And when will we pass the 64 million milestone?
