Here’s your chance to put your psychic powers to the test.

After Sunday’s parade concludes, how many people will organizers of the Chicago Pride Parade say attended?

Here are a few infobits to help you.

• Last year, organizers claimed that one million people attended the parade.
• It is physically impossible for one million people to fit onto the parade route. (See the math.)
• Organizers this year began claiming that the parade route is 4 miles long. It’s not. It is actually 2.7 miles
• There may be periods of rain tomorrow.
• Recent claims of year-over-year crowd growth: 2011 up 77%; 2012 up 13%; 2013 up 18%
