Predict the Amount of Time as last Post

Postby Sean Quixote » Tue Jun 12, 2012 7:44 pm UTC

A twist on the Necromancy/XTALP threads, simply make a guess (whether it be educated or not) as to how long your post will be the last in a spoiler tag. And of course, do so before reading the previous poster's guess. That'd be cheating, silly. :P

Your score is the difference between your prediction (edited posts invalid) and reality.

So, without further adieu, my prediction is:

FOREVER... DUN DUN DUN

Longer than whatever the above prediction is (which I swear I haven't read yet even though I really really wanted to, and I also hope flicky wasn't smart enough to edit their prediction in the past week or so, but I digress) minus shorter than it actually was.
