Contest Update

[lollardfish]

I have a contest for who can guess the correct length of my dissertation. Length at time of posting was 334. It'll be less than 500 pages, because at 500 they do two volumes, and that's annoying.

The person who guesses closest to the total length of my dissertation, from page 1 to .... (so not including acknowledgements, title page, etc., but including notes, bibliography, and so forth) will win a bound copy of the thesis. Ties will go to the person who did not go over. It's the length when it goes to the printers, not when defended (there may be a difference).

I'll accept guesses until I defend, on 9/29, if anyone else wants to play!

484.

Sounds like you're getting close to done. Happy to hear it!

When clearing out my parents' home, i came across my father's Thesis. i didn't read it all (obviously), but it was fascinating to see it bound and so forth (i hadn't realized they did that).

The Boy's reaction was "Oh wow, Granddad wrote a book?!"
