Re: Car Nack Predicts 2010-4

Sorry, my comment was rather unclear - I think that 469 will both compete on Einstein and score a 35 point match; however, I really doubt that these will happen at the same time! I do understand that to score 35 points necessitates scoring a ball every 4 seconds for the entire match, assuming you get 5 points in auto or through hanging on the tower. This means that the single Trident-wielder needs to be putting a ball up at an average rate of one ball every 4 seconds - a truly incredible rate, particularly to sustain for over 2 minutes! So, yes, I do understand how bold my statement was... To be honest, though, I don't see the point in making a "prediction" unless it's a little controversial! For example, predicting a 30 point match hardly seems hard to believe, after 469's astounding "marble run!"
