I have this little box of coins. It looks like this:

Ok,-My-Turn.-Count-The-Beans!

It's about 3.5" square, and 1" deep. It is mostly Wheaties, but as you see the top layer is miscellaneous other things.

I will give it to the person who most closely guesses the number of coins in the box, by Midnight EST next Friday night, 7 days plus 1-1/2 hours from now. If there is a tie (a guess over is as good as a guess under), the tiebreaker will go to the person who most closely guesses the weight of the box and coins, to the nearest quarter ounce, on my electronic kitchen scale.

So, you need to come up with two good guesses, and you can only guess once.

Here's a hint: that little pile of Walkers at bottom right is actually 4 coins deep.

Bryan, There's another way to look at it.If we win,we can add to the coins and put it up for contest again. That way it keeps going. Thats my plan anyway.

I'll guess on behalf of my son, because he would absolutely kill for these coins!
How about......195 coins, 2lbs 1oz? That seems as good a guess as any, I think.
