Nickelsearcher 15,000 Post Contest - Round 2

Guess the number of nickels in an open container


Guessing Deadline is Monday April 20 @ 2PM EST

Nickelsearcher-15,000-Post-Contest---Podium-Winners-Announced

A stein from my baccalaureate alma mater. It used to hold beer, but now it's full of nickels.

How many are there?

Best of wishes to all the players.

Well nickelsearcher, I didn't know you recently became a moderator!
The only reason I didn't enter the first round is because I am not a supporter or big supporter yet of the CCF.

I just need confirmation in order for me to begin placing guesses for the rest of this game...

to the contest mrwhatisit - guess away

I'm sorry if my rules were not clear to you. You did not need to be a site supporter to play the first round. It just meant that you would not be eligible to select the 'Special Prize' if you made the podium.

Have good cheer that there are 9 rounds left so the 5 point hole can be made up with some solid guests.

Keith has it correct - it's simply the reflection of the scissors on the shiny mug surface.

Well I guessed WAY light in 1st round, so I'll go heavy this time


I offer no assurances that the number of nickels is going to increase each round. In fact - a devious contest planner who wants to keep the players challenged would resort to a sort of whipsaw strategy.

Just saying.
