Thanks for the comp and your generous prizes. It's been my pleasure to host @ttkoo - pleased that you and the other players seem to be enjoying the format. We have 4 regular players yet to guess for Round 5.  Then the Podium Winners will be identified and the five prizes get awarded!

It was quite a range of guesses for the final round. I felt the Round 5 container was tricky enough to really stretch the field - and it did. I'm amazed that jbuck actually landed 12 nickels off the actual total.  And Dearborn gets some bonus points! For the record - here is a photo of me holding the Round 5 bowl under my left arm (viewer right) the day I turned it. Under my right arm is a walnut section that the bowl came from:  I am going to return to the contest tonight about 6pm to summarize the Podium Winners and final scores. Check back then!Then we will also start the contest for the Appreciation Prizes Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.artToo many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time.

I would have been closer if I used my "lucky number," which is 3307 (there is a story behind it and perhaps one day I can/will share it). I did not want to be so "exact" so I rounded it down to 3300. I am pleased that I did not "round off" all the luck!
