Attack on Iraq Betting Pool
Friday, August 30, 2002 | Momaw Nadon

Posted on 08/30/2002 8:14:01 AM PDT by Momaw Nadon

It seems like an attack on Iraq is coming soon.

Place your bet as to when the attack will begin.

Whoever gets closest to the date and time wins.

Attack time must be specified in Month, Day, Year, Hour, and Minute

For the hour, don't forget to specify what time zone you are referring to.

There is no decision on a prize to be awarded yet except for bragging rights.

My bet is for January 2, 2003 at 2:17 P.M Eastern Standard Time.

Good prediction since you made it at the end of August. My prediction is two days before the new moon of February. Iraqi time of course. This new moon occurs at FEB. 1st 11AM Greenwich mean time which is roughly 2PM Iraqi time. So the night of January 30th would be ideal and is my prediction with Jan 29th being almost as good. 

Weather might alter plans to make it any of these dates: Jan 29, Jan 30, Jan 31, Feb 1, Feb 2. If we don't do it in the Febuary new moon then the March new moon is the last good date.

You about ready to shake this thru excel again? I think we'll see a more defined bell in the curve.

I was thinking of sorting and posting the current bets so it will be easier for FReepers to keep track of their picks.

Maybe after post #500

It's a bit of work though.

If anyone wants to volunteer to do this, just let me know.

Okay the next post will have the selections I have as of post 497. I naturally left off the dates that already past and the dates that were not complete. I did leave in a few that had dates but no times. Please updates these if you are a one who did not give a time. Mind you, by not selecting a theme for time zone, 8pm EST on Jan 1 will be Jan 2 in Iraq so it could get confusing. I put them in the best order possible.
