Sorry for double-posting, but I found it interesting that I wrote "hard core" yet when I posted, it got changed to "resolute"...strange! :???:

Before I begin, sorry for the double post.

According to my calculations, I find that there are approximately 39 days until the 6th book comes out, and 926 more things to count. Therefore, we must make 23.74358974358974358974358974359 posts a day! HIGHLY POSSIBLE!
