Yup. 14 years, states in here
to finish it by 2014
then it also stats
Bushby set off from Punta Arenas, Chile, on November 1, 1998, and has (as of April 2006) completed over 17,000 miles. With over 19,000 more miles to walk, and maintaining his current speed, he should return home to Hull, England in 2012. He has already walked through South, Central and North America.
So from the update, it means he will do it in 14 years.

Izhitzu on your site it states
Karl Bushby's Record breaking attempt to walk around the world with unbroken footsteps. It will take over TEN years to complete and will cover over 36,000 Miles across four continents, 25 countries, crossing a frozen sea, six deserts, seven mountain ranges in one non-stop journey.
Over is the key word there

Yes, the correct answer is 14 years, so no one got that one right. However, those who answered the first 2 questions correctly and were first to do so, will receive ED rewards today.
Congratulations to:
Franz Ferdinand
