Permalink Boston: Survey Says!

Thanks to everyone that took a minute to fill in the survey and predict my Boston performance. Like I said, it was fun to see and also informational. Gave me a sense of what some of you thought was possible and where I should sit. Overall, I just wanted it to be a fun exercise. Let's see the results! Remember, using Price Is Right rules here -- closest without going over.

Winner

1. Mike Hinterberg - 4 correct
1. Glenn Hahn - 4 correct
1. James Kirk - 4 correct

We have a 3 way tie for first! I didn't expect that one at all. I need a tie breaker. Since we have to go on the data we have, I am going to use the differential based on 2 time-based questions. These guys all got either 2 or 3 so I took their 2 best.

1. Glenn Hahn +55 seconds
2. Mike Hinterberg +106 seconds
3. James Kirk +215 seconds

Since Glenn has his own set of Boston schwag already, I will give him the crown but pass the prize to our 2nd place finisher -- Mike Hinterberg! Congrats, Mike. Must have been that magic spreadsheet you referenced. I have a gift from Boston for you. Shoot me your address via email. James, good show too!

Thanks for playing everyone!
