PUP Sale Today
(with comments)

What an exciting day. As I write this, it's about 45 minutes before the big PUP blowout sale begins.

The internet is all abuzz...

How many PUP licenses will be sold during that 2-hour period? Enter your guess as a comment. The winner gets the usual prize.

    I like how most people like to end their number with 7.

    I would like to see a chart made demonstrating frequency of different last digits in these guesses.

    I like how your order system lets me enter 100,000,000 units without even a nag.
  14. By . Comment posted 03-Nov-2009 @09:42am:
    I mean 100,000,007 units.

    The answer is: 42.
  16. By . Comment posted 03-Nov-2009 @09:48am:
    Yeah, they set the maximum quantity to 999,999,999. Customers who need a billion or more copies must contact me directly.
  17. By . Comment posted 03-Nov-2009 @09:50am:
    While mmmark is right to say that The Answer is 42, the question here is different. I expect J-Walk Corp to sell more than 100 units - say 113.
  18. By . Comment posted 03-Nov-2009 @09:50am:
    25 units

    Bucking the trend, I decided to avoid number 7

    They better contact you soon - they could save $32,230,000,000 on a billion copies! If you make the sale, I recommend treating your readers to dinner. I'd be happy with a $5000 meal.

    I hope you can sell 580.

    I have already buy 2.

    I have no idea what a normal/average amount of sales would be, so to guess the number of a blow-out sale promotion.... I guess 15, but hope you sell 150. Or 1500!

    I got mine. 777.

    Since I bought one - I will guess 51
  27. By . Comment posted 03-Nov-2009 @10:52am:
    I will guess 72.

    All in all, it was a roaring success:

    134 licenses sold
    93 Orders
    Average order: $17.79
    60% of order were in the first hour
    67% for PUP v7
    63% in U.S, 10% in UK, 9% in Canada

    Instead of this being the worst sales year since 1996, it will be the worst sales year since 1997.

    I don't even know what a PUP is and it looks too boring to research.

    Looks like Matthew Henson wins with 113. Congrats on your prize.
  33. By cesar. Comment posted 03-Nov-2009 @12:23pm:
    I say 150.
  34. By . Comment posted 03-Nov-2009 @12:32pm:
    Since cesar is still guessing, I'm revising mine to 134.

    133.7

    A little disappointing that i missed this opportunity
  37. By . Comment posted 03-Nov-2009 @06:27pm:
    8!

    As far as I can see, I guessed best here. No sign of prize so far. However, here in the UK we are having strikes affecting the postal service - maybe my email has gone out in sympathy.

    There needs to be a special mention for cesar, above. Top quality guess, but almost an hour after JWalk told us the answer.
