Lots of you were all around that number, you are getting the hang of forecasting these numbers now, but we can only have 3 winners.
I don't have time to post the full "ascending order" belt & braces list, I need to get to bed as I'm catching the 0525 train tomorrow morning, but as far as I can see, the 3 winners are as below.
I'll not submit them to the Office until mid-morning, so if there are any objections, let me know before then please.
Unless there are any objections, those three will all be playing tomorrow (Thursday) evening's £33 BH, which has a Doubled Guarantee of £20,000. Good luck.
Will have to go around my mum's for this, as my phone line is still ropey. I'm sure she won't mind me connecting to her broadband for 10 minutes or so...

hi hex,
are you sure you've not made a wee error here?
the exact number was 360 players. the winner guessed 356 (4 away) and two others guessed 365 (5 away). your guess 345 is 15 away.
close but not close enough.
ps hope this helps, unless i have made a wee error.

Hi Hexapus,
Pardon the brief reply, but I am up in Head Office today, trying to clear a few issues.
As far as I recall, there were 360 runners, and that means there were several guesses nearer, including 365.
I will have a proper look on the train home tonight, but if you or any of the forum regulars want to check the numbers for me, please go ahead.
If - IF - you are due a seat, I may not be able to sort it for tonight, but I will honour the obligation and sort out something equivelant for another night.
oops my maths is not so good apologies not to despair just won a seat anyways in the Semi satelitte so will play for first time a £33 BH anyway Posted by Hexapus
ah, that's good.
i know nobody who hasn't made the same error at some stage.

The correct answer was 360.

Unfortunately, as I'm offline or in meetings for much of (today) Thursday, I won't have time to run the same competition.
However, on Friday, we'll make up for it, & a £30,000 Super Roller seat or two may be on offer.
Ooooohhhhhhh
