I think Nickelsearcher might be trying to pull a trick on us. Well ... It would behoove me to keep the contest challenging by throwing in a few curve balls every now and then. Nothing in the rules specify to how (or if) the container volumes change over time. Just saying.  Quote:
So we are waiting a week and 1 day for another 14 members to guess the number of Nickels. Yep - if it takes that long. However, if all the players check in before next Monday I'll follow my rules by giving 1 day notice and we will move onto Round 4. |

No one is going to agree with me, but it may be a possibility. I reviewed the rules, and nowhere does it say only nickels fill the container. Now, when the container is clear, it's obvious. This one is not. It looks like a flower pot, but it may also be a candle. The "crafty" sod may have it stuffed with newsprint with 1 roll of nickels on the top. Game on.

I simply did not think it was necessary. Your comment also has significant potential for confusion on the guessing for this contest. So, I now make the following unequivocal statement: All of the 10 containers used in this contest have been 100% filled with USA Jefferson nickels packed as tightly as the container form factor allowed. There is no filler material used to displace any nickel volume.Now - are you planning to provide a Round 3 guess on that full container of nickels?

I didn't even check the contest lately until now. Been so busy. I thought I would have missed it by a mile. Quote:
I think Nickelsearcher might be trying to pull a trick on us. This container looks very similar in size to the last round so I will guess the same as the last round answer  My guess is 375 |

 You're a good sport NS.  I had no doubt that its all nickels for all the rounds. Just...exploring options...now we know for sure. Quote:

Remember this for my next contest.....  Quote:
are you planning to provide a Round 3 guess Tomorrow. You just spoiled my whole strategy. I was going to guess 40.  "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"
