FLAG COUNTER CONTEST

Of the many new upgrades that Grub has recently made to the forum, one of the most interesting is the Flag Counter information that can be found in the “Visitors to the 10000 Islands” box at the bottom of the first page of the forum. It has a ton of information about things like how many visitors XKI has every day, what countries they are from, etc., that you can review by clicking on the “Visitors to the 10000 Islands” heading.

We thought it might be kind of fun to run a contest regarding what some of these statistics will look like come the end of the month, October 31st, and give everyone a chance to win up to 2,000 Tacos, by predicting them correctly.

So here’s the deal.
Below you will find 4 “Yes or No” questions that hopefully are self-explanatory. For each question that you answer correctly, you will receive 500 Tacos. Get all 4 answers correct and you’ll receive a total of 2,000 Tacos.
Everyone is entitled to one, free entry. To enter, simply post your answers to each question in this thread. Your entry must be posted by no later than this Tuesday night, 24:00 Forum Time.

Here are the 4 questions, the answers to which will be determined at Midnight forum time on October 31st:

#1. 24 different countries have visited 10000 Islands as of today. Will at least 30 countries have visited by the end of October? (Yes or No?)

#2. As of now, 31 of the 50 states in the United States have visited 10000 Islands. Will all 50 states have visited by the end of October? (Yes or No?)

#3. As of now, 49.9% of the visitors to 10000 Islands have been from the United States. Will at least 50% of the visitors have been from the United States by the end of October? (Yes or No?)

#4. The 30 day average of visitors to 10000 Islands is currently 70. Will the daily average of visitors be 70 or greater by the end of October? (Yes or No?)

Basic Rules Recap:
• Everyone gets a free entry, which may be posted up until this Tuesday night, October 7th at 24:00 Forum Time.
• Tacos will be awarded based upon whether the questions have been answered correctly as of October 31 at 24:00 Forum Time….Each correctly answered question wins 500 Tacos.

Good Luck!

Barry, you are looking on track to get 4/4. The Casino wouldn't happen to be err... 'subsidizing' foreign visits to the forum, would it?
