I have not ran a contest in a long time. I was going to wait until my 1000 post, but I can't wait that long.  Over a year ago I ran a contest, where I asked CCF members to guess the number of empty holes in my albums and folders. This contest is similar, except I am adding in my other hobby, Metal Detecting. So here is the contest... On 4/30/10 what will be the solution to the following math equation: (The face value of all coins I have found Metal Detecting) x (The number of empty holes in my folders and albums) = X Guess the dollar amount XAll forum members are eligible to guess. One guess per day, the closest three members without going over wins a small prize. Contest officially ends at 5 pm EST on 4/30/10. I will do the counting and announce the winners the following morning. NO HINTS, since I do not know the answer and it will likely change if I dig or make a couple coin purchases before the contest ends. Each winner will receive a 50 coin roll of Mixed date Canadian Pennies that have been pulled from rolls and pocket change over the years. If anyone guesses the amount exactly, they will also receive a 90% 1964 Half dollar. So I have found1 sac, 170 cents, 48 quarters, 75 dimes and 25 nickels - Grand total of $23.45 found in a hole. My Albums Empty holes Wash Qtrs 3 Canadian Cents 21 Mercury dimes 2 Peace $ 10 State Quarters 0 Franklin halves 0 Liberty Nic 10 Indian cents 43 Lincoln Cents 42 Roosevelt dimes 0 7070 43 President $s 35 Jefferson Nick 51 2 cent/3cn 29 Total empty holes 289 289 x 23.45 = $6777.05 The winners are

I guess part of it depends on whether or not the number calculated the face value by dollars, or cents(ie, with $10 face value in coins, do you multiply it by 10, or 1,000?) If by cents, I will guess 47,500.

"Face value of coins" not number of cents. $10 in coins multiplied by 50 empty holes = 500 or $3.57 in coins multiplied by 25 empty holes = 89.25 or $10.27 in coins multiplied by 750 empty holes = 7,702.50 These are examples only  |
