At the time of posting this, for the past 17 days (except one which appears to be an anomalous reporting error that caused a dip) , the team has been between 240,000-270,000 points per day, but on an upward trend. It would be nice to get our daily average to be above the 300,000 mark, which appears likely if the upward progression keeps up.

Anyone have any guesses on a time frame for such a barrier? Getting our 24-hour average above 300,000 would put us (link) at about 35-36 ranking for 24-hour averages among teams. (7-8 spots higher than what we are now)

Perhaps naively I thought with you chaps being nearer Mexico you would know them. Possibly not the most significant thing you will learn today but here you go anyway: Whoosh!

Now it's done. 24 hour average >300k, only 74 active folders, though.

Aah, yes. I should have googled it, I suppose. I have never heard it referred to as "Mexican", but people do that at football and baseball games all the time. I think most people in the US simply refer to it as "The Wave" (at least that is always how I have heard it and talked about it), which was why I didn't immediately pick up on it. I thought you might have meant The Mexican Hat Dance or something at first, haha.


Edit: Upon further research, the reason that people outside of North America refer to it as the "Mexican" wave is that it was first encountered by the rest of the world on a widespread basis during the FIFA Football World Cup in Mexico in 1986, but those in the US had been doing it before that by several years at various sporting events which is why it is generally just referred to as "The Wave" here. [/pointless trivia]

Toga indeed! A lot of the recent increases is due to Maestro's recent upsurge in points. Nice work.

By the way, it now seems as though we are up to the #39 spot in the 24 hour average category. Sweet action.
