The Speed of the Seed Sweepstake
A fun little challenge to keep us amused for how long !who knows !!
I will calculate the total estimated journey mileage (As the crowflies) of the envelope from leaving Madhouse's Plantation, and the estimated mileage it will travel before it arrives back at his Ranch.
All you need to do is guess the average speed of the package over it's entire journey Link Below
Chinese Tobacco Whispers Thread
As of today the estimated trip mileage is 24003 miles start date and time to follow.
Example
If the seed packets estimated journey was 21000 miles from start to finish, and it took three weeks, to arrive back at Madhouse's plantation, then the average speed of the seed would be 41.66mph(Slower than Santa's Slay) (21000)/(21x24)
The Rules of this fun little competition are quite simple.
Any member can enter it, even the members who are taking part in the tobacco whispers
You are allowed only two guesses at the average speed of the seed packet over it's complete journey.
Your last guess must be made by the halfway point of the packets journey.
The halfway point will be the middle person in the chain.
Members joining the chain after it has commenced , their location and mileage will be added to the existing total.
All guesses of the final average speed are to be in miles perhour.
You will all be advised in this thread when the packet is nearing it's halfway point.
The Prize
The member who guesses nearest to the average speed when the packet arrives back at Bills ranch will win 10 packets of seed from Madhouse, and I will donate another 5 packets of true seed, this making a total of 15 packets of top quality seed to the lucky winner..
Good Luck Everyone.
