Hi, I think you might be able to refine your method and come up with a more accurate number by using more graphs, charts, science, and math. Your confidence interval is still relatively high here (lasting through approximately 360 degrees of Earth's spin).

I ran 10000 monte carlo simulations of your current data against a quadratic spline function that factors in weather, california disasters rates, and the redundant gene pool of blizzard employees (this allows for us to appropriately weigh health). Using this method I was able to narrow down your number into a much shorter interval:

[image loading]


This is zoomed in to the day that you had previously predicted, with visual identifiers added to where the upper and lower boundaries came on my trial runs. We can see here that the most likely time is early afternoon, pacific standard time.

Obviously running a large simulation would be ideal, but the next one million results are unlikely to change our graph by more than a hundredth of a percent. I hope this helps and I am more than willing to discuss ideas in the future!

Well, damn. I was all excited about finishing my master's thesis in mathematics, but then I see this article and lose all motivation. I mean, all my work seems so trivial now... what's the point?

If you run 7/17/2009 mod 2 you get 1/1/1.

The estimated release date of Starcraft 2, thus, clearly is always going to be one month, one day and one year more than the current date.

To be honest, I think it is more likely they will invite retired professionals/coaches rather then active ones. Considering the demands of the competitive scene, I seriously doubt the teams will allow their players any time to participate in the beta.

there are only foreign in the list?
