The End of the Quarter
Dear All,
I thought I would show you how much mail I got last Friday. It is like that for weeks at the end of the quarter. The person who comes closest to the number of entries that I got last Friday (shown in this picture) gets a FULL set of WOTF volumes. Best, Joni

My guess is...97 envelopes!
Regardless of the answer, that's a giant stack of mail for one day. Don't let it topple! :P

Joni,
I assume you mean guess the number of entries you received on Friday. My guess is seventy-eight.

That's quite a pile! I count about 94 edges of envelopes that I can see.
So my guess is 113 entries on Friday.

PS- should I win, I already have pretty much a full set of WOTF, so you can donate it to the Clarion workshop in San Diego and have them give them out to the 2008 class this summer. (grin)

Holy crap, Batman! I'm glad I sent mine in back in January. :)
My guess is, hmm, 119 entries on Friday.

My guess is 75, but I still haven't gotten (or gotten asked about) the WotF volume I won in the last contest. How does this work?

Wow, that's a lot of entries. It gives me mixed feelings - happy that my entry is most likely in that pile, and anxious because the odds of me getting past the slush editors weaken with every entry other than mine!
Regardless, it saves you trips to the gym. We know know how you keep slim and trim.
Anyways, I'm going to guess at 90 entries.
Hope I'm close.
Regards,
Mike

My guess: 118.
You know, I've been kind of curious what kind of entry distribution there is for a given quarter. I know that you don't give out actual numbers of how many entries you have for a given quarter, but do like 50% of the entries for a quarter come in the last month? 10% in the first? Just a curiosity, really.

That pile is one day's worth of entries? Wow. I guestimate that stack to be 81 stories high.
