Everyone gets five guesses between now and Christmas day 12/25 at 6pm PDT.
There are snowflakes falling on your screen when you visit the forum. These snowflakes are accumulating to a certain dept number set by me before they start to disappear. This is a calculated number - meaning that if you stared at it and counted dropping flakes until they start disappearing out of the accumulation it is conceivable you could know the exact number ... or at least get close enough for a solid guess.
Guess what the number is of accumulated snowflakes - closest guess without going over wins. If the exact number is guessed I will stop the game and award the prize.
The prize is a small package of maybe 20 cabochon preforms that can either be turned into cabochons or tumbled flat.
Your ONE hint is: the number is greater than 500 and less than 2000.
