Guy figures out launch date of iOS 6.1 jailbreak tool using javascript algorithm

A Reddit user claims to have used Mathematica to calculate the time when evad3rs will release evasi0n, the iOS 6.1 untethered jailbreak tool that everyone is flooding Twitter with at the moment.

The team used to shave off five percent of their progress bar (or added, whichever way you prefer) each day, prior to yesterday. Now the countdown is made in increments of one, and evasi0n is sitting at 99% progress at the moment.

So this guy decided to use a javascript algorithm to determine the status of the progress bar posted on evasi0n.com.
