YES! Instead if predicting the minutes, predict the seconds! Maximum claim, 3600!

On my board setup, your post is timestamped "15:00:13" and mine is "15:00:46". See?

And that one was "15:01:55". Could leave them a bit longer!

I think if we play in seconds there will have to be a minimum claim, because it's probably physically impossible to get a post in within 1 second of someone else's post
How about 1 point = 10 seconds? Maximum claim 360, winning-post 1800.
We could call it "Nimbleweed"

OK, if AC agrees I'll run the next game that way.

Current scores: GB 281, TG 233, AC 185.
To change the timestamp to display seconds, select User control panel > Board preferences > My date format. Select "Custom" and change "H:i" to "H:i:s".
Any chance that the two of you will let me claim the 19 points for victory? I think the game's effectively over.

See what I mean?
EDIT: Sorry, tried to claim when I wasn't allowed to!
