this is a first for me here so bare with me... At work, we are having a holiday event and we have several little activities where folks can win gift cards, etc. One of the events is a Pebble Guess. Well, I thought it would be a waste to only use it for work so here goes. This is the same, old fashioned, "Guess how many are in the container"game. The only hint I will give is it is not less than 300 and not more than 2000. The closest person wins. Side View Back All I could think to give would be a few slabs in some Christmas red and green (ok, a little yellow and white thrown in too). One guess per person, you can change it from now until Thursday, Dec 18th. I will go through them that evening and announce the winner. Let the guesses begin . [glow=red,2,300][/glow] After looking through all the guesses, there are two that are pretty close. The number of rocks in that jar are #1054. Tigger is the winner with 1029!!! There is a close second place so RogueTrader will also get a gift! His guess was 1028. Will you both send me a PM with your address and I will get these right out too you. MERRY CHRISTMAS, and thank you everyone for playing! Fran
