Giant Bomb's first Sponsored-class quest is on, courtesy of Best Buy, and the community is facing a decent challenge for a simple quest set! Naturally, I'm doing my usual thing of tracking progress and stats. If you want to talk about the merits of sponsored quests, there's another thread for that. If you're looking for graphs and numbers, that's what this post is here for. 
 
Unfortunately, for one reason or another (likely the requirement to have five followed users on at once or a saturation in willing quest participants), we've failed. With an expected end time of Sunday and an actual end time of Friday, I poured a little too much hope into our initial chances.
 
Here's the final graph of progress.

• We needed 6,000 completions, but only attained 4,009.
  
• We had an overall average of 36.5 completions per hour. Given our shorter timeframe, we needed an average of 54.67 completions per hour.
  
• To complete this quest given our final rate of completion, we would have needed at least 164.26 hours, or until Monday.
  
• Based on rough site statistics, 6,759 people have completed one of the quests in this set but haven't finished them all. This means 37% of the people who finished one of the quests managed to finish the whole set. On average, the incomplete users have 2.2 out of five quests complete.
  
• My current Arbitrary Estimation of Success should have hit 0% a lot sooner*.
  
• All the Whiskey sites missed their quest goal, but Anime Vice came the closest, even though only 200 people had to complete their quest.
