Hi, everyone! Time for a new contest!  A simple one! Just guess the weight of this piece of opalised wood that I found recently in my trip. For those who did not see the thread about the trip, it's here: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?board=Pictures&action=display&thread=23345And now, the prize (two pics of the same piece):   The contest will end after a week (Wednesday, May 14). The first one who guesses the exactly weight in grams, wins. If no-one will guess it till next Wednesday, the winner will be the one whose guess is closer to the weight (no matter if it's more or less). You can change the guess as many times you want, only the last guess will count. Good luck to everyone!  Adrian PS. Don't forget to scroll for some clues which might appear during the contest  |

No correct answer yet. For the pound and ounces folks, here's a useful link: www.onlineconversion.com/weight_common.htmFirst clue: there are only three figures (under 1 kilo). This sort of rock is a litle less dense than usual. Keep trying, Good luck! Adrian |

Thanks for entering into my contest Sheri, but I think you might want to take a closer look at the maximum capacity of the weigher (see both pics), and also at my previost post in this thread Adrian |
