So, as we get ready for the final round some prize 'what if' scenarios based on these standings: Petespockets55 clinches the Contest Championship by making a Round 10 guess and gaining the 5 points. I strongly suspect that @Petes is a player that took some time with math to estimate the container volume. Very well played all contest. It's time @Petes to start reviewing your prize options!  halfamind and Zurie each can clinch a top 3 podium spot with a Win in Round 10, and possibly clinch a podium spot with the Runner Up finish in Round 10, depending on the tiebreaker rules. CKcollectibles2, CoinforMe and joshu-a can clinch a top 3 podium spot with a Win in Round 10, subject to the tie breaker rules.. The 4 players at 60 points might have a podium spot with a Win in Round 10, but it depends on what the players ahead of you do and the tie-breaker rules. Everyone else is playing Round 10 for your guessing pride and a shot at one of the two fabulous participation prizes. Get ready for Round 10!

Quote: Wow, not going to make podium but I got points, bring on the danceing fruit Not true Mike - read above. You're going to need to pull off 2 round wins in a row and get some help - but you're not out of it yet! I'm assuming that Petespockets55 will make a Round 10 guess. After that, there are a total of 9 players with a shot at the #2 or #3 prize positions depending on how they do in Round 10.

I see I was off by a few hundred last round, so I'll guess: 1,845 nickels

Quote: By the way, is that a calabash? It's gourdeous! Fun comment HondoB.  I showed my lathe turned calabash back in Round 4. The Round 10 container is a full length gourd, with the top broken off, that I grew for my wife art projects. Bring on the contest defining guesses!
