It would be pretty interesting to see what the funding progress chart was for other large crowdfunded projects (Pebble, Double Fine, etc) for comparison. If we assume that the rate of funding will not increase beyond the current rate, the project will not meet the goal. I don't know how valid that assumption is, though -- intuitively it makes sense, but it is possible that other projects have challenged that assumption. Especially possible if they managed to get a further round of press midway through the campaign.

People have posted a bunch of stats; the stories project starters on Kickstarter have posted tend to indicate that there's a surge of funding when a project is new, and another surge when the deadline is about to run out (people who were procrastinating start to feel time pressure). Not sure if there's a good law for predicting the sizes of these two surges, or how much the addition of new reward levels can add additional bumps in the middle.

A difference is that Pebble was funded very early on and just continued growing. There was not a need for a last push, instead they put a cap on in the end.
