Date:  Sun, 12 Oct 2008 16:10:27 +0200
Message-ID:  <20081012141027.GX7498@mykerinos.kheops.frmug.org>

As the bug #500000 mark was turned on September 24th 2008, Debian
developers and contributors need a new challenge.

So, again, a small contest has been set up. The principle is very
simple: please place a bet (one per person) about the day bugs #600000
and #1000000 will be reported. 

The winner(s) will be the person(s) placing her|his|their bet as close
as possible to the real moment bug #600000 and #1000000 are reported.

There is nothing to win but the pride of being the person who
predicted our bug report rate for the next months|years, just what
René Mayorga won by winning the bug #500000 prediction game
(http://people.debian.org/~bubulle/500000.html).

The bet page is a wiki page: http://wiki.debian.org/600000thBugContest

It will be closed on November 30th 2008. Bets will be kept statically
until bug #600000 is reported.

Then the page will be reopened with a new list of bets for bug
#1000000.  Thus, we will have four sets of bets for bug #1000000 with
even more suspense and fun!.

Enjoy...

Hmm, it seems easy to game the system by reporting lots of bogus bugs.

Guessing when the millionth bug will be fixed would be a worthy game.

I don't know when the millionth bug will be reported, but the ten
millionth will be reported on Jan 19 2038.
