The following question was presented:
OK - so I'm racing against the clock here. I'm working to setup a fantassy race game for the 2010 NASCAR chase races. I haven't had a lot of time to get this ready and the chase races start next week. I want to do this properlly, so am setting up all the infrastructure that makes this repeatable and transferable to other competitions, e.g. Forumula 1. The question is - will I get the game up and running before next weekend and if so, how many people will register to play?

Analysis:
Well, it looks like you all underestimated the power of the competition. Actually, you didn't. You underestimated the power of my follow up email that resulted in an additional 4 entries last minute taking the total to 8. I would have accepted 7 as being the correct answer given that one of the entrants is a space I created for a random number generator. Still, I'm quite pleased as this is a good population to test this.
