šŸŽÆ Countdown to 67 million registered cards

Wow I am surprisedā€¦ still atthe top end :slight_smile: I am very curious how near my prediction will be to the real ā€œmoment of truthā€ :slight_smile:

This is a smart move :slight_smile:
And your Diviner Talent Rate has doubled. Of course, provided that the Moment of Ttruth comes exactly in the middle between Stefanā€™s last prediction and mine.

ā€¦ But when the Moment of Truth will come is not known exactly :slight_smile:

I love this description! :smiley: Sadly, weā€™re not over this distortion yet, and Iā€™m sure it will affect the more optimistic predictions. Between people sending a lot less postcards (lots of concerns on everyoneā€™s mind, which is understandable given the state of the world) and mail to China being delayed because of the strict lockdowns there, this next million is going to be a bit of an outlier.

Good luck, everyone!

I guess weā€™ll go through the level 67 mio somewhere between last my bet (24.05.2022 at 17:30 UTC) and last Stefanā€™s bet (25.05.2022 at 05:25 UTC).
But there may be surprises, yes :slight_smile:

I hope that there will be a small bounce shortly after May 9-12, which will accelerate the 67 million level.

Catching a black cat in a dark room is an unusually exciting experience, donā€™t you agree? :slight_smile:

A slowdown in registrations during Northern late Spring/Summertime happens every year, thatā€™s kind of normal. Sadly, there are some additional unnormal factors at work at the moment: heatwave, pandemic, inflation, relocation of material and social ressources, and above all killers, rapists and thieves with their supporting fanbase in palace and ordinary domes.
There goes the illusion that 2020 resp. 2021 were difficult.

Three quarters done.

My 4th iteration is May 24, 2022 at 23:50 (UTC).

If we accept that the Moment of Truth will come in accordance with my 4th prediction, then the Diviners Talent Rates will be like this:

@reiselustig 88,78
@Aguaroble 79,03
@anon141542 59,98
@Stevyy 32,36
@greenskull 32,10
@Florallle 17,80
@Anibaby 16,46
@Vozmojnosti_Iriski 11,95
@thibcabe 11,12
@nnniiina 8,77
@Jarana 7,82
@bom_dia 6,13
@shootingstar7 4,88
@ChocCrossie 3,71

But of course my Magic Crystal Ball can be wrong :slight_smile:

Everyone can make a new prediction if they wish. This can improve the overall score.
Please donā€™t take this too seriously as itā€™s just a game :slight_smile:

125,500 postcards left to go and about ~9.5 days.

Registrations are slow still. Guess it will stay that way, with all the hearts, bones and connections broken.

Above all, donā€™t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.ā€

My 5th iteration is 25 May, 2022 at 08:30 (UTC).
Unfortunately, the rebound ran out of energy rather quickly and I donā€™t see new reasons for it during the week.

If we accept that the Moment of Truth will come in accordance with my last prediction, then the first three places in the Diviners ranking will be as follows:

@reiselustig 160,06
@Aguaroble 85,25
@anon141542 46,42

If we accept that the Moment of Truth will come in accordance with Stefanā€™s last prediction, then the first three places in the Diviners ranking will be as follows:

@reiselustig 1851,81
@Aguaroble 95,35
@Stevyy 43,64

But of course, if participants make new predictions taking into account the development of the trend, or new snipers take part in the countdown, or suddenly there is a strong acceleration or deceleration in postcrossing, then everything will be completely different :slight_smile:

75,120 poscards left to go and about ~6ā€¦ 6.5 days.

In that case, my prediction for that date is looking fairly good! It was just two hours after your most recent prediction.

Things have really slowed down this month. Iā€™ve only had 10 of my postcards registered this month. With 25 travelling, thatā€™s really slow.

Here I have shown everything on the graph.
The blue line is a fact.
The light blue dotted line is my estimated prediction.
The red dots are the last (or only) predictions of the most accurate participants.

But only time will tell how it will really be. Less than a week left to go :slight_smile:

Yes you are right. Your second prediction looks very accurate (May 25 10:25 am).
And if you had it only one, then it was probably the best shot of all, without a doubt.

When calculating the rating, I take into account all the attempts of the participant, and if some of their shots were not quite accurate, then this reduces the overall score.

You made two predictions, the first on (May 17 17:05) which you made about 73 days before the supposed Moment of Truth, and the second prediction on (May 25 10:25) which you made about 37 days before the supposed Moment of Truth.

My situation is very similar ā€“ I made 5 predictions and the early ones were not quite accurate. Therefore, my Diviner Talent Rate, like yours, is slightly above the middle :slight_smile:

But if we display your second attempt on the chart, then it is certainly brilliant :slight_smile:

But of course, we do not yet know exactly the Moment of Truth, but only assume it. Perhaps it will shift sooner or later, and then, of course, the picture will change.

I just came across this topic and it seems very close to 67m now. I wonā€™t make a prediction because that feels like cheating, but good luck everyone!

It will happen the day after tomorrow.

My Magic Crystal Ball tells me that the Moment of Truth will come tomorrow
ā€“ May 25th at 13:41 (UTC).
This is my seventh prediction, and probably the last one in this countdown.

The prediction error is 1 hour on each side. That is, everything will happen in the interval from 12:41 to 14:41 (UTC) with high certainty.

14,950 postcards left to go and ~1 day.
