Well, no, she had no idea about this until I showed her.
The problem now is, she wants to guess herself and take the prize, so I am considering getting one of the traffic wardens to stand over the glass thing 24/7 until the big count up. The problem is, having the dude standing there in the bedroom is a little creepy, and I reckon he would start trying to direct bedroom activity with his fluorescent baton, and that would be too unnerving for the dog.
If a mystery poster has one post, and guesses the exact amount, I think we can all be suspicious about that.
Well, I went home and counted my own coin “jar” (actually, an old tupperware dish full of Philippino pesos, Indonesian rupiah, Malaysian ringgit, American coins, and European Euros (?) and Taiwan NT$) and mine was worth $2,133, but that’s because I already used up all the $50 coins for doing laundry and a lot of the $10 coins for buying water and feeding the dryer at the same laundromat…and the majority of the remaining coins are foreign. So, knowing that it wouldn’t really help me get an idea of what you have in your own jar I decided to do a little bit of bad geometry, seeing good geometry didn’t do much for me except earn me a C+ in 10th grade…
I’m guessing that you have $7,221 in Taiwanese coins. I didn’t see any foreign coins so I can’t make estimations on that. And so help me God, if you put all those $50 coins on top to throw off my calculations, I’m gonna be very :stinkyface: … so there.
And what do you mean you haven’t counted them yet? If your better half is in the game, wouldn’t she be able to tweak the numbers in her favor…not saying she would, knowing her, but she’s definitely got the “home” team advantage, if you know what I mean.
I’ll see your $14,500 and raise you a negative $3,456…whatever that equals…wait a minute, I need my ms calculator…
Okay, according to my calculations, my second guess is $11,044.
Truant, are you going to record these estimates to be sure none of them change when you announce the winner… I could lock it for you if you wish until you’re ready to post the actual amount…
