Hmm, let’s see here: 46.9 51.2 54.3 Cool to see you jump right into “sponsoring” a contest. Thanks. I felt I had to start giving back in some way. I can't contribute much for experience or knowledge up to this point. So I figured I'd give what I could. I get so much from this forum...knowledge freely given...advice readily given...support happily given...camaraderie. There are a lot of amazing people who are members on this forum, a few of whom I would even consider "friends" I would never have met otherwise.  I'm putting a few more "goodies" together to include in the SFRB...might as well fill it up best I can.  |

Might as well take a shot. As the great Michael Scott famously quoted, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
I’ll go with:
33
36
39

I realized I never put a "time" to stop taking guesses today. Let's say cutoff will be 5pm MST.
(I realize my "hints" were horrible...I just couldn't think of any hints to give that wouldn't just give the answer away...)

Is that your nice way of saying we are really horrible at guessing and shouldn’t quite our day jobs to join the next carnival that comes to town? And you’re really a 103-year old man who goes by the nickname Benjamin Button? I knew I should have tripled my guesses! |

I want to give a special thank you to everyone who participated! I won't hold any of the "age" guesses against anyone! LOL I'm tagging everyone who participated...everyone's going to think they won...but to quote the movie Highlander: "There can be only one!" Thank you to all the following participants: rockstock NDK knave victor1941 rockjunquie Tommy Pat MsAli hummingbirdstones oregon oldschoolrocker drocknut amygdule wyohound betojdesigns stephanagatemaggotBrianSo, here's where I'm going to get a ton of grief! I'm sitting here laughing at myself (and the second time I've embarrassed myself on here today!) because I've been watching this thread multiple times a day watching for the correct answer...and I totally missed the fact that the right guess actually came on the 11th!!! (I read it and "liked" the post without catching the number was dead on!) I feel like a big ole donkey! LOL The winning answer was 48.0 - and the winner is amygdule !!! Congratulations and I'm so sorry I wasn't paying enough attention to catch this the other day! PM me your mailing info and I'll get this out to you tomorrow or Monday.  |

Congrats amygdule . Especially since you knew how to account for frost.  Thanks for hosting jasoninsd. I'm sure you totally meant to keep us in suspense. Yeah. That's the ticket. As for any "high" guesses... we were just considering your wisdom. |

Since we are not far apart in years and your avatar pic looks far younger than I look, I will stand by my guesses. The frost adds at least 10 pounds to any picture, right?
Congrats to the winner for making a far more educated guess and thanks to Jason for a fun contest!

Congratulations to amygdule! Thanks Jason for the fun contest, even if you did keep us in suspense way too long...LOL. I'm still shaking my head on that one...partly out of disbelief that I didn't catch it, but more for trying to clear out the apparent cobwebs in there! LOL |

Thank you jasoninsd for a fun contest. Got a few good laughs out of it, that's a prize in itself! Congratulations to amygdule! Nothing better than rocks coming in the mail! (Unless you work in the Post Office. ;-) ) Now I have to check my guesses to see how far off I was!
