You didn't get it either then, despite it being so blatant. I think both you are Suzianne are engaged in an ecstasy of fumbling for your gas masks. 😉

The point is that it is irrelevant for this contest how the clocks in your personal world tick. I declare myself the authority over it. So you can feel that you were predicting, but for the purpose of the contest the numbers given on the posts are relevant.

What is there to get?

...ptobler had posted the endresult before you did post your "prediction"

You predicted a result after the result was posted. Your time machine was supposed to take you back to before the endresult was known, not after.

I am always about 6 hours 'into the future' compared to you folks in Europe. As a result, you and the events you engage in are always playing catch up relative to me. I celebrate New Year's Day before you. I wake up before you. And so on. Your football also lags behind. I made my prediction during this time lag while the momentous football event had not yet caught up with us,here. I nipped into that ever present "gap" and made my brilliant prediction. And so I think my prediction stands. Surely? 😉

The Zika vaccine did not come, but can the Olympiad be counted as disaster??
