The Otakon 2010 Thread (OK now panic)

[Doodleplex]

So 33 huh? 100 videos gone poof. Where will the finalist be announced? On the first page or a new response in the thread or a new thread entirely...?

Based on the number of videos, it doesn't look like many longer videos made the cut. There were 34 finalists last year and that was with the six minute time restriction in place.

Well, you can't statistically draw that conclusion without comparing the standard deviations of the lengths of the videos as well. Just because the means are similar doesn't mean the distribution of times is the same.

That is true. There could be 32 videos 1 minute in length and 1 video 1 hour 33 minutes long for all I know!

That would be the best contest EVER.

Hoping for that, myself.
