It seems that there is only two players vying for two prizes. I think it may be best to simply award each of you the prize and call this game done. If I do not hear any objections to this in the next four hours I'll call it done.

No objection here. Wish I could of had more ops to get on a computer. I would have played more. Went home last night and pencil whipped it but once I seen all the guesses between yesterday and now I did'nt feel like trying to catch up and guess. thanks for the contest Rikcando. Guess it's time to get a PC. WOLF

oh dear. OK, well I'm back to square one.

I'm fine with NOT getting a prize rikcando. I don't play for the prize. I like to play for the sport and of course the camaraderie. If you want to call it and award a price to docs, I'm certainly fine with that. the other option might be to postpone the game until the weekend and change up the guessing rules so more can play? I'm really flexible here (and besides it might give me more time to figure out where I messed up).

I'll vote for a redo. I enjoy the challenge and am not just in it for the prize.

If my vote counts, I vote for weekend And you know everyone's in it for the challenge.. which is why I haven't been stomped yet for prizes not being out for the last one yet. (sorry, been exceedingly busy, but almost have them all together!)

By the way, it was Scooby's note I mis-read that made me think it was this weekend.. he did actually write "this week" but my addled brain added "-end" so I was clearing my desk and preparing.. I can do site changes between guesses, really! Oh, and cleaning the house. Yah. Oh, right, and the tree needs to come down...

No more coffee for me tonight.

If I consider restarting on Friday night or Saturday morning, would the following changes make it better or worse.

1) Provide a list of currencies.
2) Extend period between guesses from one hour to two hours.
3) Reduce the currencies to guess to six.

Yes xshift, your vote counts.

Edit:ps. I think I am suffering from Jeopardy flashbacks.

1) Provide a list of currencies.

If it's the standard list, you could just post a link to the last MM, directly to the post that listed them? For Doc, at least, or anyone else who was thinking of jumping in?

2) Extend period between guesses from one hour to two hours.

I like lots of guessing.. but it might be better for you, if you're going to be busy?

3) Reduce the currencies to guess to six.

More currencies = more challenge = more fun Just my oh-so-humble-very-caffeinated opinion.

as long as we are voting...

I'm good with the weekend and extending to two hours. I would like to leave it at 7 as I have (drum roll please) found my way back ( I think)...as I listen to the Hallelujah chorus on a TV commercial

I'd like to see that list since I only know of 169. Some have been discontinued so I may be missing those, or yours list may contain Euro's from countries that mine does not.
