A number of pundits and predictors expected Facebook's IPO to shoot the company's stock price to the moon. Spoiler: It didn't.

What a tough Friday for casual investors: Facebook's big IPO went live; the NASDAQ couldn't keep up with the amount of orders pouring in; and a number of purchasers were left with shares on the table that they weren't able to sell, absolutely nothing when they wanted to buy, or fulfilled orders that they were unable to cancel.

Regardless of the reasons why, Friday's big activity on the stock market  a record-setting amount of just around 580 million shares traded in a single day  also showed just how off a number of stock-watchers and pundits were on their predictions for just how well Facebook's IPO would perform. VentureBeat's Jolie O'Dell has the list of Silicon Valley venture capitalists that screwed the proverbial pooch on this one, including Menlo Ventures' Shervin Pishevar (with a closing price prediction of $63), First Round's Josh Kopelman ($57), and Lowercase Capital's Chris Sacca ($56).

Who got VentureBeat's prediction game right? One venture capitalist: Menlo Ventures managing director, Mark Siegel, with a correct guess that Facebook's $38 asking price seemed reasonable.

Wait, one person?

The "official" online record of Facebook IPO predictions, facebookipodayclosingprice.com, shows that it wasn't just venture capitalists who expected a lot more than Facebook delivered. In total, only 26 people of the 2,261 submitting predictions to the site managed to guess Facebook's final price correctly  $38.23 a share, rounded down to $38 for the purposes of guessing. That's a whopping 1.14 percent, for those keeping score at home.

Go figure: The number of Twitter followers a guesser has, a quick gauge of one's online popularity, didn't play into his or her ability to correctly predict the path of Facebook's stock price. You have to scroll all the way down to #29 on the site's popularity list, Electronic Frontier Foundation co-founder John Perry Barlow, before you see anything close to an estimate that resembles Facebook's final price.

Barlow ended up guessing a closing price of $32 a share, which might have been achieved had Facebook's lead underwriter, Morgan Stanley, not stepped in to prevent the share price from dropping below its $38 IPO price.

As for those left holding a piece of the Facebook pie, the real guessing game begins Monday: What happens to Facebook's share price in a more normal trading environment?
