Countdown To 71 Million Registered Postcards

This is where we can make our guesses as to when we think the 71 millionth postcard will be registered on Postcrossing. Please make your prediction in UTC format. Anyone is welcome to change their guesses as often as they want to.

I’m going to go for 9th March, 12.34 UTC.

EDIT (the next day, and thinking about it overnight :slightly_smiling_face:)

I think I’ve gone much too early, so I’m changing it to 15 March, 12.34 UTC.

So, we have 17 predictions at the moment.
Average (Mean) = 17 March 2023 Fri 21:32
Median = 15 March 2023 Wed 12:34
Mode = 14 March 2023 Tue 12:20

If we assume that the Moment of Truth is equal to the Median of all predictions, then the angular deviations of the current predictions will be:

Participant of Countdown Average Angular Deviation Theta, (°)
@Florallle 0,00
@greenskull 0,19
@fiwipa 0,61
@Herbstsommerwind 1,73
@reiselustig 1,84
@nnniiina 2,62
@Shalottslady 4,07
@Stevyy 4,80
@GrauBunt 5,25
@thibcabe 6,17
@Captain-Colin 6,66
@HM 7,21
@tesc 10,18
@Jarana 12,46
@manuchka 15,14
@danay4 19,04
@ChocCrossie 48,52

The closest one to the Average (Mean) is @reiselustig’s prediction.
The Median of all predictions coincides with @Florallle’s prediction.
The closest one to the Mode is @fiwipa’s prediction.

I recommend that the participants at the tail of the list keep their finger on the pulse and, possibly, correct their predictions in the future, since they are more distant than the rest from the median point (collective unconscious) on the time scale.
But it’s always up to you :slight_smile:

PS
I would add that an angular deviation of 1° is like an arrow missing the bullseye of the target by about 1.75 meters, if you shoot from a distance of 100 m.
And the angular deviation of 5° is an arrow missing the bullseye of the target by about 8.75 m when shooting from the same 100 m.

PPS
By the way, March 14th is Albert Einstein’s birthday.
