I think we can safely say it is between Maha and Charles Vane with Maha in the lead!

Not to be a Debbie Downer and nothing against Maha (love you buddy)... But Maha guessed 3 different times...

We need an official ruling on that. And Black Sparrow will need to be the one ruling.

Congrats to both Maha and Vane for coming so close.
I don't fear death. I look forward to it with great anticipation. For then I will met God face to face and let him know that I stole his Man of War!!!

i understood that the 8th was the last day of making valid entrees. as i was the first to enter i tried to be the last as well.

That said, i am already quite happy that my calculations resulted in a good estimation.
whether my entree is valid or not i leave to Black Sparrow.

Maha is the rightful winner! Not the lucky one, but the skilled one!

He gets to win 40M!
-10M from me
-20M from CDV
-10M from Malachi

I will send him 30M as I have already collected 10M from CDV and Malachi. CdV will have to send himself the last 10M as we really did not expect anyone to hit the final number within 1000 ships.

For this same reason, I will award an EXTRA 5M to Charles Vane for runner up and also for being within 1,000 ships away from the final number. Awesome guys!

P.S:So much for CdV making profit out of it... He just spent 20M on prizes ;)

This concludes the contest!

We started at more than 50k shipwrecks if my memory serves me well. Currently, you can read the following at demographics (my fav page):

Total Ships: 81,000 afloat
18,063 shipwrecks now
18,546 shipwrecks yesterday

Congrats on Maha (and Vane)!

A total of 45M given ;)
