The winning distance, expressed as time, was 4.486 seconds, so our 5 winners are.....

paddie1985	4.388
gerardgirl	4.4
VespaPX	4.456
tillpoll	4.587
Phantom66	4.698

Vespa was 0.030 seconds out
Ger was 0.080 seconds out
paddie1985 was 0.098 seconds out
tillpoll was 0.099 seconds out
Phantom66 was 0.212 seconds out.

They all win Free Entry into this Tuesday's (26th May) Mini, worth £5.50.

POKERTREV will play as Sky Poker's Guest, too, for all his hard work summarising the entries.

These results are provisional only, pending any appeal, or mess up on  my part. If there are no legit objections by Noon tomorrow (Monday), that'll be "weighed in".

Thought that worked pretty well, so we'll do something similar at the next realistic opportunity.

Any suggestions welcome.

Wooohooo now i have to think of an excuse to reschedule my meal for Tuesday night ! lol

Ger (I will be shot if i said its because of poker!)

VespaPX

BOOM
Complete guess
Had to be something with a 4 in it !!
Cheers Tikay

tillpoll

WOW  Thanks muchly TK

Phantom66

Whoop whoop. 

Dont know much about F1 but went with bookies who had under 6 secs for the gap and the 4s have it. Team ploppers ftw.

About as lucky as Nico Rosberg though as it took a safety car and an idiotic pit stop to get the win as would have been hamilton by over 20 otherwise.

Thanks Tikay

How about time of 1st goal in FA cup final?

Brrrrrrr

I've an idea for a competition....guess how many total runs will be scored in one of the upcoming test matches? Possibilities are wideranging because of the weather and because one team might score so low that there might only be three innings played in total rather than four etc.

wimbledon is coming up next month....you could guess how long the wimbledon fortnight will appear to last....my initial guess would be "an eternity"

Tikay10

Thanks for the suggestions for the next comp, including that corker from mac24.

Slight problem with the FA Cup Final is the possibility of 0-0 after 90 minutes, but we could get round that. I like the idea of runs scored in the next Test, too, & that one gives us, probably, a 5 day sweat, which appeals. (It starts on Friday).

The main problem is that I go away on Friday, & my availability will be hard to predict for the first few days, & I'll be in a different time-zone, too.

I'll have a thing tonight, but we might just go with the next Test, or perhaps leave it until next week, & find something else.
 
I had another idea, too, which I think might work well, based upon the WSOP.

The WSOP "Colossus" starts on Friday, with 4 opening flights on Friday & Saturday. "Guess the number of runners" might work. Just need to get my head round when we would need to close the thread, & where I'm likely to be at the time.

Will give it some thought. 

Thanks for the interest in this one, it went pretty well.

I did notice, Trev, but I never corrected it, as I got in trouble myself, about 7 years ago, on 861, for the same thing, so I thought you can take a bit of heat this time.

Phantom66

How about distance covered by bradley wiggins in his 1 hour world record attempt?

Nuggy962

Great comp, well done all winners and lovely gesture for Trev, well deserved

gerardirl

How many sets will be played in mens singles Wimbledon, or how many tie breaks.

Ger

HaHa - apologies, I am happy to take the blame on this occasion.

My excuse is I wasn't wearing my reading specs

Tikay10

There have been no objections or Stewards Inquiries, so the results are now official.
 
I have this morning sent a request up to Head Office as follows......

These are for the Monaco F1 GP based Community Competition last week, which attracted around 90 entries, including several first time posters.

Sorry Ger, but I can't change it now, they get a bit cross with me if I keep chopping & changing these.

If you had said earlier, I could have re-arranged it, but it's too late now, sorry.
