Well I think it's coming to a point where we can put the whole prediction thing to rest, because, after all, the clue comes when it comes.
I'd just like to point out that putting mathematics towards predicting, explaining and analysing human behaviour can be suprisingly effective, as mathematical proccesses can usually be created to describe how we would see something as 'random' - and when people try to do something that they want to appear random, they actually inherently put a pattern in. This is rather high-powered maths and is used in criminology, so if anyone really, really wants to hear any more, PM me, but I don't think anyone will bother.
Either way - the clue will come out! So that'll be sweet.

I don't think Neopets is purposefully extending the plot updates more and more, proportionally in what looks like an x squared graph. Otherwise, if there were more parts to it, very soon we'd only be seeing one update a year! (Which may be what it feels like, but...)
That is true to a point... but the shape of the graph was formed by regression... which means that it uses interpretation of previous points to form the model... not just a quadratic - the reason it's going up is because of the extra time taken by TNT each time, and this is because the end of the plot is approaching. Even with 15 constellations - the graph still has a reasonable time between each time the clue is released.
Hahah, but there I go again, more mathematics prattle.
Well, when it comes down to it, I just want the CLUE to come out.
Who will second my call!!!
