New Guessing Game Has Begun! Winners! Mar 13, 2010 9:03:57 GMT -5

Hello Everyone! I was sitting here yesterday and realized it had been a very long time since I had hosted a game. Well, as good as I am at games

(not) I thought it was time for a good, old fashioned "guess how many is in the bowl" game again.
It is in honor of Easter and yep, I am a Christian

. Now, that is not a requirement to play. It is for all my friends right here on the board to give it their best guess!

Rules:

Everyone that is a member as of today, March 13th can participate.

You can guess as many times as you would like but only your final guess will be counted...Just means that you could be right on the dot and then guess something else and your accurate guess will not count so it is a risk...

You can be higher or lower, it doesn't matter. The winner will be the closest to to number inside the bowl.

Game will close on March 26th by 6 PM Eastern time. That will give me time to get your gift shipped to you and hopefully, you will get your gift before Easter!

Prize: I will try to cater that prize to the winner. Tumbling rough, slabs, preforms, tumbles, etc. What seems to be more to your liking.

And sitting on my mantle in the living room

And just to make it fare, all of these are in the mix too.

Let The Fun Begin!!!
Fran

Alright, my wife guessed 2350. But she's not a member here. So do i go with my first guess 1492 - or her female intuition, though she admits to being terrible at guessing how many jellybeans are in a jar.

Until further notice, I'm sticking with 1492...
