in thread Chancellor of the Exchequer

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.

      too much honor for LanX, the cheater.

      He was contemplating to systematically upvote planetscape to sabotage your competition. Actually most of the 4 XP she earned now came from 13 votes he casted on one day :-p
