The entry deadline for short course Nationals in Indianapolis is on April 4th, just two days away. Let's have a contest to guess the total number of swimmers entered. First prize is a 500 fly for time! :banana: Those with any inside information should recuse themselves.
My guess is 1785.
seriously! SO sad I can't be there. I was so excited to hear it would be only 2 states away... but, unfortunately, we just didn't have the money this year. super bummed. :badday:
what, may I ask led to the backstroker/breaststroker theorem on the dark swimmer? we need more scientific evidence to support this...
So... when there are empty lanes at meets... those are actually dark swimmers that no one can see? This makes total sense to me. Heat 1, I'm on to your tricks!Theoretically, when two dark swimmers collide, they release a backstroker and a breaststroker. I need a government grant to attend more meets and observe this effect.
My guess is one less than the number should be as I won't be there :badday:
Don't worry about missing this meet. 1) It is short couse yards...blah. 2) Do you really want to be stuck in the middle of corn fields for a week? ;-)
1636 is the official head count. I beleive BOOMERANG won the guessing game (1625). 500 Fly for time, and video it please! We all need some kind of entertainment...
Yes, congrats Boomerang! Boomerang, That Guy and waves101 were the only guesses under the actual number.

I guess the economy is not quite as bad as I thought. See everyone there.

Sir/Ma'am, I believe you are incorrect. The collision between a dark swimmer and light swimmer would release a backstroker and breaststroker. If two dark swimmers collide, the result would be the same as two light swimmers colliding, i.e, bumped heads and bruised egos.
I am troubled, however, by how you've neglected to take into account the reaction of the dark swimmer and the light water with which the pool is filled. I could do the math to show how large the resulting explosion would be, but that would just be silly.
