mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2805 Posts	Posted 08/14/2022 7:05 pm Wow, I was a tad busy the last few days; guess I got right in the middle of guessing which is good. Just cents I see... So I guess $18.32 ... Watch me be way off Any of the 3 prizes would be useful to me if I do manage to win one... Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: forgot to add that (again) it will run to Saturday (a 6 day week again) or until all remaining entrants have added their guesses. So as to avoid confusion for the remaining participants any chance of adding a time? I've no "skin in the game" at this point, so ... maybe consider letting the participants of the last round that missed the abrupt cutoff date for guessing throw a guess this round? (Seems like this might smooth over some disappointments... or not?) Either way, thanks for having this contest Dearborn. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

Adding a time to cut of the contest? Hmm.. let me think..... How about Saturday, August 20, 2022 at 1800 Local time (GMT -7) And if I lose track of time and end it a bit late, then the guesses will count up to the time I end it. Collecting since 1972.

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1646 Posts	Posted 08/16/2022 3:04 pm Some music to help while you ponder your decisions... IkdmOVejUlI The biggest question of this whole contest that comes to mind is.... Does Dearborn know about Coinstar? Or does he collect varieties and errors?

nickelsearcher Bedrock of the Community United States 13258 Posts	Posted 08/16/2022 3:09 pm All right - heavy calculations have been completed. I'm absolutely positive that the vase contains lots of pennies - in fact, if you add them up you'll come to .... drum roll .... $15.13 Thanks to Dearborn for the fun contest and best of wishes to all the final participants.
