nickelsearcher, I loved your comment: "At some point you will suffer paralysis by analysis."

So, after all that analysis I did get paralysis ,of the brain, which is I believe has been proven to be self evident

so after all that, below is my guess:

1,292

Thank you for having this fun contest

If you thought the Round 5 open top container looks familiar - you are correct.

It is the bottom of the Main Event Prize #2 offering:

Nickelsearcher-15,000-Post-Contest---Champion-Petespockets55

Now you have a much better idea of the relative size of that prize box.

It was good to see that many of the players went 'bigger' in their Round 4 guess. I was staring to become concerned that my container size progression had become too predictable.

I strongly suspect there will be some additional 'large' containers shown before the contest ends.

Is the Round 5 container one of them? You judge!

Holy cow - you aren't going to believe this: I 1st calculated a guess ,on the last contest ,of 1,421, but I took off 10 % for air spaces in a pile of just thrown in Nickels..

.;like nickelsearcher said, in so many words, to much thinking jomic.but I am happy with runner-up,

thanks again nickelsearcher for this fun contest.

Last I checked - I suggested that you not overthink this.

If you did - that's on you. Just saying.

I'm looking forward to the Player's Round 5 guesses.
