  Since the current teams were using the squared error ratings on the standard test data (not this new test data) to combine their old algorithms, it's quite possible that in one month we will learn that the prize has not yet been won. As I understand the rules, anyway.

    No. from the rules - "The RMSE for the first "quiz" subset will be reported publicly on the Site; the RMSE for the second "test" subset will not be reported publicly but will be employed to qualify a submission as described below. The reported RMSE scores on the quiz subset provide a public announcement that a potential qualifying score has been reached and provide feedback to Participants on both their absolute and relative performance." The final call announcement would not go out unless a team beat 10% on the test set. That announcement went out at 4:30pm PST today. It is still quite possible that the entries can be rejected if the reviewers find the system description lacking or if we are unable to reproduce their result. That clock starts after the 30 days runs out.
