I think the top three in the contest all looked at this analytically, by considering the infection rate, infection fatality rate, and population to come up with an estimate. It wasn't purely a guessing game.
You don't change the rules in the middle of the game. The December 31, 2021 end date stands. However, I'm going to be very surprised and very saddened (by the carnage) if eccieuser is not the winner.
