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)

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

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.

If sanity be culturally normative, then by the norms of this culture I claim insanity.
