Time Descending
Sounds reasonable Adam. Perhaps you could join the covid-19 modeling groups, thereby raising their mean IQ substantially and improving forecasts.
@Adam Danz, It shows you that over-thinking is not a good thing.:)
Fangjun only specified the date so the default time would be midnight making his guess only 12 hours off (UCT time). I was the only other one to make a guess and I based it on simple linear regression where the slope was estimated by your recent 7-day and 30-day numbers which resulted in today (1 day later) at 1:39pm UTC (4:39pm Central), .
About 7:06 am central by the way.
Congratulations to Walter! An impossible feast!
Ha! I wouldn't doubt there are people who want to be the 100,000th point-giver. Unfortunately I already placed my bet using a simple linear regression and that factor was not in my model.
So now the question is whether we will see a bump in the rep gain because of someone trying to pull the date forward. XD
Can't access Google Form from work. I vote for 8/14/2020.
Heh. Any of you could vote for "today" and then go and vote for a bunch of my postings ;-)
