Why do you think you're right?
Still 1 new planet. That's still in line with my prediction, even though I would expect 2 by now. If there is still none added until end of June, I might need to lower my prediction a bit.
A potential planet has been discovered, but since it takes months to evaluate whether it's habitable, I'm unsure if it will make it in time. Maybe it would be reasonable to look at a list of already discovered planets under review?
Why might you be wrong?
Maybe I don't understand the process of discovered and classifying correctly, and thus update in the wrong direction.
So far it is still 70, so 1 planet.
There was some mail from some expert to a fellow forecaster, but it doesn't seem to me that person has thought about the question deeply. I will not update on it, since I was already above the crowd forecast and trust my analysis.
I expect the next planet to be added around 21.3. + 49 days = 9th of May (+- 145 days ≈ 5 months).
Hey, thanks for you comment!
To your first point, I indeed meant the the mail sender. I'm sorry if my formulation could have been taken offensive, no such intended :) I'm sure Abel Méndez is well-versed in his topic and might possibly even have seriously engaged in forecasting before!
To your second point, I just restated a result from earlier calculations. Please see my previous forecast for more details on how I reached it.
Currently at 399, which is quite close to my predictions.

Why do you think you're right?
Iran is attacking Israel + Trump likely being elected in the fall. What can go wrong with that?
Why might you be wrong?
I have little idea about international agreements, especially regarding Iranian nuclear enrichment.
Up to 19th of April the number is now at 370, which is a bit higher than the point estimate I predicted, but it's still well within the range. While the change does adjust the upper limit of the end-of-may estimate, I'm confident it won't even come close to 500 (probably something like 405 +- 35).
