Ha! Was wondering about that.


We did a study, we modeled each rover driver with a mixture of gaussians, ran a few thousands Monte Carlo simulations on one of the computer clusters at JPL to compute the maximum likelyhood of having all rover planners in a space interval less than 5 meters and a time interval less than 10 minutes. The result of the simulations came out to be Aug 1st, 2012 2pm PDT at the JPL Mall. We got a 93.75% clustering, not bad.

One of the drivers was not present that day and had to be photoshopped in.

Darn good job. If I had to guess I'd say Matt Heverly.

If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.
