H Duffy;

You found the right quake. I was typing from memory, always a mistake with me.

There was another one in Mexico today. No signal on that one?

Roger

Hi Roger,

I'm afraid your getting me a little confused, I post a prediction, which the script gave me endless fun with, it appeared to have a glitch that Brian confirmed, and I corrected the start time to 10:30 UT in the next post. The Honshu, Japan quake occured 16 minutes before my corrected start time, and 9 hours 55 minutes before the prediction was posted. And if memory serves me right, I don't think they drink Tequila in Japan.

Am I missing something here ??

Duffy

Duffy;

No, if things went as you say, the quake came before you posted so doesn't count.

Roger

Ok Roger,

I'll take that as a negative hit, as I mentioned before, I regarded this as a test run and it was my first time.

Still not sure how I failed when I wasn't claiming the Honshu, Japan quake, but I'm still learning the system here and hopefully get the hang of it soon

No hard feelings Roger, there will be other oppotunities, best put the lid back on this Tequila before I get to the worm .

Duffy;

That's ok, you didn't predict a location so any quake of the right size that followed within the time predicted would be a hit.

But none did. One was too early, the next too late.

I put your predictions into a file as YYYY,MM,DD,HH,MN,YYYY,MM,DD,HH,MN,M1,M2
and check all quakes, looking for a fit.

It really shouldn't be done in real time as NEIC often changes things as new data arrives.
