Hey everybody, I just had an idea for a new contest  ! It's called Guess that Box! I just went through a box of pennies, and now you have to guess the number/condition/country/etc of things I found! It's simple: I will list a series of questions about a certain thing(s) I found in the box. The first person to get them all correct wins! The rules: First, if nobody guesses all the questions correctly within 1 week, we will go to the Sudden Death Round, where the 3 closest people will go head to head to see who can guess the Sudden Death question first. The one who guesses it correctly first wins! Second: You can guess as many times as you like, but you can only guess every 30 minutes. If you post is within 30 minutes of your last post, it is automatically disqualified (This to give everybody a chance). Third, I will occasionally give out hints about a certain question. FYI, I will not give out hits if someone has already posted the correct answer, BUT I will not tell who or when. You have to figure that out on your own! Prize: Maybe, maybe not.  Contest starts as soon as I post the questions. Enjoy my first contest! If everybody likes it, I might do it again as soon as I save up for a new box. If you have any questions or there is anything you think I should change before we start, let me know. Thank you! Edited by jlgaudlitz95
