      We should turn it into a poll now!

      I think with all that publicity he'll probably already pass the post mid September

      On the other hand I'm commanding that huge army of sock puppets, which can help keeping the competition fair... ;-p

        Spot on LanX! The original target of 31378 has just been reached.

        LanX clearly deserves the Nostradamus prize, predicting this momentous event to the day, exactly in the middle of September. Update: he did it again two weeks later!

        XP Progress Since Predictions Were Made

        Target: planetscape: 31378 -> 31382 -> 31385 -> 31392 -> 31396 -> 31400

        Thanks to all three competitors (and planetscape too) for their fantastic contributions to Perl Monks over many years!

        Note: afoken reached the planetscape target on Sep 15 2023, about five months after the race began on Mar 24 2023. jdporter reached it four months later, on Jan 11 2024. talexb reached it on Feb 23 2024. By that time, afoken had already further sprinted past demerphq and adrianh, with tachyon soon to follow.

        Update 23 June 2024: japhy is back after a long absence! (see also new temporary user japhy2, used while waiting for restoration of original japhy account).

        • Re: Twenty laborious years -- and I'm glad to be here by me (Dec 12 2021) - talexb made it to Chancellor first, beating jdporter to this new level by just 3 XP, on Dec 19 2021, jdporter made Chancellor one day later, on Dec 20 2021 ... on Dec 21 they are tied again at 30001 ... and again on Dec 23 at 30007 and Dec 24 at 30010 and Dec 29 at 30028. Inseparable. :)
