Thank you for trying again, Roxy, but I think you should read again the very first post of this contest (which was updated), especially the bolded text area. There are some hints there and an example.  Adrian |

Not quite as difficult as it seems.
Pic 3 shows a keyboard F keys 1 - 4.
Those with any pet rock, measure distance between keys, measure size of pet rock in photo, rummage in your stock till you find one of similar size then weight it.
It'll not be exact but it should be damn near close.
Theres never a problem, just a solution waiting to be found.

Hey RogueTrader.. where were you when I was asking for a tutor earlier on in the game? lol
I like the way you figured it's weight by looking at the rock and the keys.. that was clever!

Good thinkin', Rogue Trader! Now where's your guess? Or are you still digging your pile of rocks in search for a pet wood simmilar to mine?  Adrian PS. One of you folks is pretty close! But, whatch out, what if YOU are the one and, by changing your guess, you only manage to ruin your previous good guess? ;D |

Tonja, you should go to the very first post of this thread and read the bolded text under the photos Funny how quickly am I able to type the phrase above by now, the fingres seem to know their path by their own. Adrian |

Good thinkin', Rogue Trader! Now where's your guess? Or are you still digging your pile of rocks in search for a pet wood simmilar to mine? Adrian Adrian, I'm not going to make a guess. Firstly, I do not have any pet rock, and secondly, it's a bit far to send my winnings (should I win.) regards J. |

RogueTrader, are you kidding? If what is written under your avatar is correct, you could be one of the closest possible destinations for my prize. So jump in if that's the reason you dont! "I do not have any pet rock" - here is your opportunity to have one! Adrian |

1st guess is 1752g
Calculated thus, using picture 3, height x width x depth x 2.65 x 2 (before and after weight)
Viewing on my monitor = 12cm (max) x 7cm x 4cm x 2.65 (specific gravity) x 2 (before and after weight) - 28g = 1752g
However, as again measured from pic 3, distance between F1 and F4 is 10cm, and on my pc keyboard distance is 7.5cm, which equals 1.33 ratio (10/7.5 = 1.333 recurring), therefore total weight shoud also be divided by a ratio of 1.33 so as a second guess I could go 1335g.
Therefore, guess 1 would equate to approximately 3lb 14oz Imp.
Hmmm, I'm stuck between a rock and a keyboard here.
