you got in at 9:56am utc. i think you the last one to make the cut off.
Gif-Jobs posted after 3pm utc.
so now we wait for the end of the contest results. good luck to all.
I think people still can submit their prediction before 00:00 25th October. In OP, it is stated the second prediction available until 24th. It means the second prediction is acceptable as long as it is 24th October.
10:00 UTC is just for the target time for our prediction (30th October). But the latest day for submitting the second prediction isn't 10:00 UTC of 24th October.
Correct me if I'm wrong 
you may be correct I am just listing them I went back and read it and it looks like you are correct.
I think the pay out time at 10:00am UTC is the only thing at that time .
the predictions would appear to end just before 00:00am on the 13th for prediction 1
and just before 00:00 am on the 25th for prediction 2
