ok, let's see ---

how did Daniel do that when he was guessing my contest ? ---- 27% blueish transparent , 32 % brown , 6% red, 11% all other colors, 24% lines ,curves, swirls, etc. so at 1.32464 oz/square inch === I'll have to put down the weight later as I forgot where I was at !! ;D ;D---- this is fun ! thanks dan!!

putting all the colors together I come up with about "258 gms. or 8 &1/4 oz". --- don't know what size screen this is but the ruler is the same size as my tape

I think it is about 130% at 1024x768. I just held up one of the slabs to the screen and it was bigger onthe screen.

Well Jamie guesses 158g = 5.57328599 oz - gee thats not much different from Dan's guess of 5.6. Yikes!

Dan, my 1024x768 is on a 19" monitor. I guess we both forgot that monitor size makes a difference.
