Jeff and I both 'refined'/hedged/cheated on our bets at 8:52 PST. I called for the 'fireworks' at 9:04, and he called/stayed on 9:15 PST. Of all the 'original' guesses, kayak was closest with her noon EST(9 PST).

Just make sure I get a 'participation' ribbon, OK? {;~)

No, sorry about kayak, as much as it hurts (her most, lol), she said: "between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. EST," which would be 6:00 - 8:00 a.m. Mountain time, 5:00 - 7:00 a.m. PST. The winning time was 10:03 a.m. Mountain (12:03 p.m. EST). kayak was off off off by at least 2 hours and 3 min. (so sorry kayak, that's how the cookie crumbles)

The gold goes to Jeff.
ForGod'sSake would have gotten the Silver by being off by 3 min. but he displayed SoreLoserman behavior.
d14truth cheated by trying to revise his bet at the countdown when it went past his original time, so he only gets the blue ribbon of tough cookies
BeforeISleep was asleep...so sorry
Snow Bunny was out in left field, so to speak (has to do with that left zone thing, I think)
Dubya: gets the Silver...he was only an hour off and didn't try to cheat

That leaves me me me with the Bronze; I said by noon, and that's the way it happened. I'm next closest and I didn't cheat. And I'm the judge.

Read 'em and weep.
