The Speed of Seed Sweepstake

[deluxestogie]

Since the trip to Africa will cover massive mileage in a short time, I will put in a second guess of 98.6 miles per hour. So...either zero or very fast.

I like your style there Bob, there could be a good tobacco in that list.

 

[Markw]

It could even end up in NZ yet there are a few placed .left LoL

 

[DGBAMA]

11.11mph.

Hopefully the journey is complete in 90 days, which will get everyone seed in time for the new season.

 

[Ben Brand]

9 mph

 

[springheal]

128 mph. Going against the trend.

 

[Markw]

Thanks everyone for the latest guesses, I will be up-dating the guesses and the estimated average mileage as soon as the route has been agreed. you all might get an extra guess as it is coming up to Christmas Ho Ho.

Bob, been living in South Africa 50 plus years, postage not to reliable, but I must say in our deffence, I did send and received a few packages of seed, didn`t go to bad. Lets hope the seeds don`t get lost in darkest Africa.

Dr Nicotiana, I presume...

 

[madhouse]

looks like i may have to have a big re-think on this one as it could be going the long way around.

 

[Markw]

Ok after some number crunching the total mileage for the Chinese Tobacco Whispers seed is now 38505 miles I will up date the list tomorrow

 

[deluxestogie]

Keep in mind that the longer the hops, the greater the miles per hour. [I recently mailed (1st Class!) a tiny padded envelope of seed from Virginia to Waycross, Georgia. It took over 10 days to arrive, after looping twice between Atlanta, Georgia and Jacksonville, Florida.]

If I recall correctly that package I sent you took 6 days first class mail. I was impressed you received it so fast.

 

[DGBAMA]

A letter mailed to me from within my own city frequently takes a day or two longer to arrive than one mailed from several hundred miles away.

Competition up-date

Time posted 09.15 GMT 30th November 2013.

Final Chinese Tobacco Whispers Round Trip Mileage 38505.

The Halfway point will be Sweden

Guesses so far

Dean 11 mph
Markw 18 mph
Colin 27 mph
Jakylnz 15 mph
Ricky60 20 mph
Madhouse 28.57
Deluxustogie Lost in Post second guess 98.6mph
Grgfinney 13 mph

Brownthumb 0.09 mph
Frozenthunderbolt 39.6 mph
Ben Brand 9 mph
Dgbama 11.11 mph
Darren 1979 1mph
Springheal 128 mph

Remember you all have two guesses the last guess must be taken by the halfway point.
Note: If two members draw with the same mileage, it will go to a count-back, both mileage guesses will be added together and the one with the lowest number of joint miles wins the price.
Good luck everyone lets hope the seed gets round safely. I will keep you updated on the packets progress.

 

[Rickey60]

My 2nd guess is 35 mph

 

[FmGrowit]

1,000,000 mph...final answer

 

[Ben Brand]

Going to piss on your batteries and keep it all for myself. Ha ha. Well I suppose then Deluxe will be the winner!!!!

It seems that any rational person would recognize a distinct difference between "lost in post" and "lost in piss."
