    Quality stuff chaps. :)

    Right, at 7:02am today the countdown to wind down began. I'd imagine it'll be Wednesday when I announce the winner so watch this space! :D

    Good luck!

    By the way, I can't take credit for the idea. It originally came from Emeister on a thread started by me a month or two ago. I was looking for a good challenge and he came up with it.

    The betting will close at midday on Tuesday 3rd of August.

    I will put up a closing post and any posts or edits after that time will not be counted. :) But I know you all play fair anyway as you're a good bunch of chaps. ;)

    Just to let you know that I will count 12hr and 24hr entries all the same, i.e.;

    If you've put 21:00:00 or 09:00:00, I will treat both as 09:00:00 and I will read the time as a twelve hour clock. There will be no differentiation between am and pm. :)

    Ten minutes to go chaps and chapesses! :D

    NO MORE BETS GENTLEMEN (AND LADIES) PLEASE!

    We're in the safe hands of time, and once the watch does stop ticking we'll know who the lucky winner is! :)

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

    Thanks John, very kind of you to say. It's a bit of a laugh and some lucky bod will have a nice prize. :)

    LOL! I keep glancing over at the watch, but it's merrily ticking away. I hope it doesn't have a 7-day power reserve, I can hardly take the suspense now - and I'm not even in the competition! :laughing5:

    By the way, there's 64 entries in total and the spread is pretty good. The guesses have been transferred to a spreadsheet and put in order along with the usernames. Interesting reading.

    It was fairly quick to be honest, the pagination took the time though as to sort the data properly it must be consistent. Anyway, makes it easier to see the overview.

    Well, the watch is still merrily ticking away (unbeliveably) so let's see what happens! :)

    Cheers Paul, sorry you missed the cut-off.

    Watch has now been ticking away for 53.5 hours and is still going strong! :shock:

    Surely it can't have much more left in reserve?!

    Here's hoping for another 6 hours.

    It's stopped, finally it's stopped!

    It has stopped at a time of 4:14:25 exactly, which means according to my list (counting am and pm as the same), the winner with a guess of 4:13:33 is:

    Zarniwoop

    Well done indeed, I will be contacting Zarniwoop shortly to arrange postage of the prize. :)

    Thanks to all for entering, a great bit of fun!
