CENTRAL (And, yes, we are all aware that the results are sometimes put up earlier elsewhere, but we play fair here).

Take Your Lumps: No late predictions. No changing predictions. No exceptions.

FYI, we don’t reveal the answer outright. We just hint at it. However, it is okay to give possible wrong answers.

Alert: The first 8 words of our comments show up on the homepage sidebar, so prefacing any hint with a short observation is the best way to go.

All comments and predictions on the CotD posts are deleted after about a week, so be fearless!
