If this prediction occurs, then I will buy every Freeper a beverage of his or her choice.

You're looking at this wrong. It is extremely likely that there will be earthquakes of greater than 4.5 mag on any given day. I could make the exact same prediction for my birthday, and would most likely be right.

Yep, I did think of that. However, an earthquake of greater than 7 magnitude is over 300 times more powerful than a 4.5 earthquake. Unlikely, and fairly rare. I'm willing to take the challenge chance! LOL.
