I'll post a follow-up, but I'm not going to release people's individual predictions publicly in case I inadvertently embarrass anyone. I'm probably going to contact the winners individually to alert them of their insight and luck.

But yeah, I'll post a detailed analysis in 6 months' time. If people then want to contact me directly to get their data then they will be able to.

You should post aggregate values in a few days as well.

I hope you're also storing timestamps with the submissions. Just guessing, but I'd bet any predictions made on 04/30 will correlate much better than those made today.

One of the hard lessons I've learned is to try to put timestamps in every table unless absolutely not necessary. :)

Edit: I'll post aggregate values to my blog in a few days' time. zacharyburt.com. I'll cc the link to @zburt on Twitter.
