That's a nice round number, but slips you into a very narrow success range between magnificos 98, and my 112 (assuming noone drops between us)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

I'm just taking a piss at Jerome.

Interesting that two people have chosen 144 (= 122) but nobody has picked $141.42 which is the median under the "proper" log-uniform prior (yes, someone, I'm talking about you)

Then I'll change into... uh... $141.42!

But really, this is just looking at tea leaves.

We could well see either $70 or $170.

No, this is not even looking at the tea leaves.

Nb41 also picked $144

Obviously a numinous number.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
