I’m wondering if you guys could be in touble here…
I realize the rate of donations required to progress an hour is geometric, but what about the rate of the spreading-of-word-around-the-internet regarding your fun little juant? I made my donation and then spread the word to two of my usual forums that I haunt. I’m sure others have done the same. I wonder if the rate of word of mouth could be more exponetial and greater than geometric.
Well this leaves just enough time for $20,000 at the way it’s gone, I expect you;ll gather at least this much. However $21,000 is still, somehow, possible. Plus I expect there will be a last minute wave of donations as well so $22,000 or, dare I say, $23,000 might even be possible.
If you get $25,000 my jaw will hit the floor, 24,758 and it will still be hovering a few inches off the ground.
Someone needs to make an “All your bus are belong to us” graphic for the 20K mark!! And congratulations guys! I donated way back at $2100 and thought making $5K would be an awesome accomplishment. Who would have thought it would go this far. I feel bad for you all! Doesn’t the bus have to at least pull over for gas? The creators wouldn’t be that nice now would they Good luck guys and great idea!!

I don’t think even the internet’s speed is going to trump their geometric increases, well at least to more than 2 weeks lol
$106,623,089,429.58
$106 billion is quite a bit to pull in though the $101k for 5 and a half days might be within the realm of possibility
still can’t wait to see when they use my graphic (i made it alterable so it could appear at any point)

Ongoing question in my mind: What DOES fuel the Desert Bus? It could be anything.

Oh, Yeah! And btw that is one amazing monster desert bus. I nod approvingly each time I see it.
