Sure, with a few hours of programming that should be possible.
Until the board puts a bounty on it, I'll pass my turn (just kidding of
course, not even then).
Someone will come up with a clever estimate by interpolating monthly figures
(figures for the current month need to be calibrated, because dumps for each
language have been taken at a different time of day)
By the way: it reminds me of candid camera where a woman in the supermarket
asked the man before her, who had a full basket, if she could jump the queue
because she had to pay only for one roll of peppermint. Of course the
request was granted. As soon as she had put down the money, she was stormed
by a photographer and the manager who offered her a large cheque and a
holiday for two because she was the millionth customer. IMO one of their
better pranks :)
