    Great chart! But more than 4 iOS developers? There must be more than that already.

    Showing off apps at the keynote. It’s a bit of a long shot; I don’t know if they’ve ever had more than three.

    No more revisions! Your original guesses have been recorded! :D  Besides, you're encroaching on my 2 hour guess.


     

    Fair do's. You have the spirit of fairness. Though bear in mind that TS and I made our initial choices before the keynote was announced. So even if you win, it's a pale version. ???? 

     

    TS: 1st guess-75 minutes, 2nd guess, 105 minutes.

    Me: 1st guess-86 minted, 2nd guess 121-145 minutes.

    Alcazar: 99 minutes 14 seconds.

    SS: 120 minutes.

     

    If a second guess wins, it doesn't have the same stature as a 1st guess or yours or Alcazar's.

    Also...You cannot decide on a "range" of 121-145 minutes. It's one or the other. <img class=" src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />

    This is not a quarterly conference call from Apple with a range of next quarter's numbers. You'll have to make a definite decision. Besides, it's all for charity. ;)

    Out of consideration for you, I’ll call my second guess 133-145 minutes. That allows you to take 120-132 minutes. 

     

    My third guess is 121-132 minutes.

    No. One set of numbers. No ranges. This is about Bingo, not horseshoes and hand grenades.

    Yes, but I'm in keeping with the new spirit of Apple's quarterly estimates, whereby they now give a range rather than an exact figure. ????

    Fine.

     

    165 minutes. No doubt, it'll be much less, but there we are.

     

    At least I have my backup of 86 minutes.

    Excellent!

     

    And the competition is won by whoever is closest or exactly right, in the event that none of us get the right time.

    Agreed. The winner gets bragging rights which are non-transferrable or assignable to future iterations of their current AppleInsider persona.

    No, no. This is The Price Is Right. You don’t see people betting a range to get that dinette set.

     

    In before, “ONE MINUTE, BOB!”
