Re: Announcing the Coffee Snobs Millennial Contest


WooHoo... we have cracked the 950...
Only 50 till we findout who the winner is.

Im going to have a second guess in this thread (for the hell of it, not for prizes) while we wait for real winner.

My second guess is:

JUNE 12th

Anyone else wanna play?

Re: Announcing the Coffee Snobs Millennial Contest

that was my date, given that it is also the due date of krusty jnr no.1!!

Re: Announcing the Coffee Snobs Millennial Contest




tis also the date on my drivers licence but 39 years before krusty jnr no.1.

Ill pencil-in some decaf for you late June when sleep is at a premium.

So who else plotted the membership numbers vs date in XL?

Re: Announcing the Coffee Snobs Millennial Contest

Actually, after the contest was announced, the average number of new members per day has at least doubled. The trendline will still be linear, even if the data is a curve. It tries to best fit the trendline to the data.

Re: Announcing the Coffee Snobs Millennial Contest

Nunu,

The trendline will only be linear if you apply a linear extrapolation to the data. The membership has followed a very stable curve upward over time over which a non-linear trendline sits very nicely!

Re: Announcing the Coffee Snobs Millennial Contest

Although now that weve hit the 950, new memberships should start to taper off.

Re: Announcing the Coffee Snobs Millennial Contest

...only if the new additions were dodgy... and I doubt it.

Did any of you guys factor-in Mothers day? Piles of new auto-espresso machines for home needing some REAL coffee

Re: Announcing the Coffee Snobs Millennial Contest

Mothers day or not, My guess looks to be at least 30 members off.

In mid march when the comp started I guessed May 10 - tomorrow. I expected a more rapid upturn in new memberships so guessed earlier than what my gut was telling me, but it didnt pay off. Although the guess wasnt hideously inaccurate, it was at least far enough off to allow me to confidently rule myself out of the prize running.

Oh well, maybe Ill have better luck for 2000.

Re: Announcing the Coffee Snobs Millennial Contest

I think we will have more prize offerings from CS and site sponsors this year..... so you might not be waiting too long!

Keep in mind that the contest ends when we have 1000 verified members. The count on the homepage includes those who have not yet verified their membership.
