Flash contest -- mild last week of February

M.T. Cranium · 20-02-2012 2:59am #1

This flash contest is partly to test-drive the table that Sponge Bob was mentioning in a thread discussion earlier this month.

We'll go with a simple concept, predict (to nearest 0.1 deg C) the warmest temperature at any of the various Met-E stations as reported in "daily data" on their website, in the period from Tuesday 21st to Friday 24th. Many are thinking that Thursday might be the warmest day of the period. Use the entry form below to enter, and we'll see how it all works out.

Edit ... just noticed the entry form says warmest from Tues to end of month (29th) so, that's my fault for changing the rule after I sent SB a message about the form, but would imagine the highest will occur in the shorter period.

Please mention your entry in a post below, at some point we'll have access to a master list.

Deadline for entries will be 0300h Wednesday.

I'm down for 16.7, make sure you post an entry because I'm waiting for further guidance from SpongeBob (can't yet see the master list, think it may be a password issue).

17.1 at the Phoenix park :cool:

Master List should be visible HERE it is a google spreadsheet with viewing open to all.

I don't mind knocking these up ( within reason now

) and leaving the contest 'organiser' to announce the competition themselves once they are happy the thing works. PM me I will PM you back the entry form link. If someone already has the same general idea I will tell you.

The reason people should post their entry in the thread as well is to remove any possibility of forgery.

16.6c

16.3 Celsius For me.

Snowstreams entered twice, no worries. Had the 2 entries been different I would simply have deleted the one that was different to what Snowstreams posted in here leaving the correct one.
