I can not say you are wrong on the 33 thousand guess, as I have no basis for knowing. I will point out, however, that that figure represents only 11 participants taking down the minimal amount to get in. I have to suspect, based on nothing, that the numbers are higher than that, and that there must be more than a few speculators who've taken down two or more units each in the PP.
I think we will know soon, one way or the other.
