Guess the # of AA's in the upcoming protein

**Anteraan** · 02-10-2004, 01:00 AM

The title says it all. Make your prediction here. The winner gets invaluable "bragging rights" for the next few weeks, along with the virtual "DF Championship belt".

Note: Howard and Elena can't play.

**pointwood** · 02-10-2004, 02:49 AM

108

Ps. You forgot to make a prediction yourself

**jonnyw** · 02-10-2004, 04:28 AM

And it would probably take one day to reach the 10 billion mark. Certainly would put the new backend server to the test.

**iggy** · 02-10-2004, 04:32 PM

Definitely 129!

**gopher_yarrowzoo** · 02-10-2004, 04:49 PM

Given that last 3 were 64, 108, 105... hmmm
93

**Grumpy** · 02-10-2004, 04:52 PM

69.....unless it is 126

My crystal ball is foggy and I can see both numbers, and yes, my other one is just fine thanx for asking

Maybe Iggy has inside info

**Nofinger** · 02-10-2004, 06:50 PM

96
because I think Grumpy saw the right numbers in his foggy ball but he put them in the wrong order

**RandomCritterz** · 02-10-2004, 08:34 PM

57

What looked like a crack in Grumpy's crystal ball is actually a minus sign.

**Grumpy** · 02-10-2004, 08:42 PM

Note: Iggy has a Update Mirror so has got the protein already most likely, I will say he may win the contest

P.S. Mirror is really for OCW Folders only, so nah nah

And we all know why you're hoping for that one

**Norman** · 02-11-2004, 01:34 PM

the new protein is: 129

and sloooow

**Marcelloz** · 02-11-2004, 03:12 PM

1-2-9 ... it just postpones the inevitable

**magicfan241** · 02-11-2004, 03:35 PM

I say the protein will have 129AA most of the time, with random mutations to 130AA.

It's all Grumpys fault!

But no matter what, it will be the slowest protein on record, and it will take longer to reach 10,000,000,000 than even the first few long ones in phase I (I remember them lasting months)

**Grumpy** · 02-11-2004, 05:15 PM

We had one in the 140's or 150's once I believe, now that was slow

Just watch your ram guys and girls. all those with 256 MB and onboard video will be looking on with trepidation ( Wow, a word with lots of letters, sometimes I amaze myself with my vocabulary skilz ).

Must be that extra year you just put on. Happy belated b-day, by the way. How is the new supercharged, protein crunching wheelchair dealing with this protein?

**Grumpy** · 02-11-2004, 05:52 PM

Goes like a Cow swimming in a pool of molasses

**Dark-Paradise** · 02-11-2004, 07:20 PM

Well, since iggy's vote doesn't count, jonnyw wins fist place and I win second place

since both our estimates were withing 3 points of 129.

**gopher_yarrowzoo** · 02-11-2004, 07:24 PM

No-one wins, iggy cheated and you 2 copied so No-one wins... next time we do one of these...

NO CHEATING you hear me or else you'll have a VERY pissed off GOPHER after ya...
GOT THAT!! No I'll KNOW IF YOU have been cheating....

**Grumpy** · 02-11-2004, 08:52 PM

We had some close guesses before iggy leaked the news, still thought 224 would be a good one for those of us about to be passed

Looks at poor FOBOT

How could we copy? We posted our estimates before iggy did and didn't edit our posts ever.

**Grumpy** · 02-11-2004, 10:58 PM

I am not too sure if the Gopher was joking

Group Hugs for all just in case

grr, we posted well before iggy so we can't have cheated.

I'm willing to share the title of 1st place as we were both 3 out.

Now what do we win

**Grumpy** · 02-12-2004, 04:14 AM

**Dark-Paradise** · 02-12-2004, 10:51 AM

Thanks a lot man, NOT!

LOL

**[DPC]Mobster** · 04-22-2004, 10:22 AM

*bump*

I'm saying: 107

**HaloJones** · 04-22-2004, 10:32 AM

Let it be ...... 131..... just so we can have some more posts about how unfair the scoring system is

**jonnyw** · 04-22-2004, 10:54 AM
