Heh, and I thought I was being incredibly pessimistic, but I've got the biggest "window of Opportunity" (pun intended) this side of Sol 1425.

I keep wincing at the term Entry "POOL".... glub. Though that's ONE thing I don't expect Mars to toss at the rovers!

Unless, of course, it's a little pool of water clinging to the steep slopes of Endurance crater! laugh.gif wink.gif

I just can't help bringing that fiasco up any chance I get. It was just so ridiculous.

Thanks for bringing that up again Fred, I missed it due to my travels, and somethings are not to be missed. How bizarre. blink.gif

It's now the morning of Sol 1290, so um3k is added to the List of the Lost. It's currently between sattrackpro (Sol 1285) and centsworth II (Sol 1299).

Well, I'm out of it now... I got close - centsworth II now looks to be the closest guesser at this point... maybe. smile.gif

Of course my guess was based on an entirely different set of assumptions than what actually occurred. mellow.gif

Yes, it is too late, the pool was closed in May when Oppy started driving back to Duck Bay

I don't think you're out of it, sattrackpro. If Oppy goes in tosol (1291) as is being predicted, then your sol 1285 bid (6 sols adrift) will be closer than centsworth II's Sol 1299 (8 sols adrift).

I'm assuming we're judging the closest guess to the actual entry sol, irrespective of whether that comes earlier or later.

I'd assumed we were using "The Price Is Right" system where the closest guess that is still over or equal to the actual entry date wins. Nothing was said about what happens if they roll the front wheels in and sit on the edge for three days. I guess the big prize would have to be split if that makes the winner ambiguous.

Concerning delays, are the MERs taking a few days off so that the DSN can pull images from Cassini, or is that a non-issue?

Not an issue, particularly with Mars and Saturn not being close together (~90 degrees) on the sky at the moment.

Thanks, Kenny. If Oppy goes in today... I'll count myself extremely lucky smile.gif
