Feif un thanx for your reply and answer. The answer to your question must be that homon was using koach hatuma and astrology etc so help him in many calculations to work out what to do. He also made many many cheshbonos to take every detail into account eg the amount of shekalim needed etc etc. So the fact that they took into account an event like chanuka that had yet to take place is not such a wonder by me. Its more of a wonder that he didnt realise that his plan was doomed.
