1.65 Oz = 50 cc where 50 is direct hint on halve value 50c of coin Imcredible thinking! I love it! But, no this is not what I meant by this hint. |

ok think I got it
20:00 is 8pm, or prime time. 81 minutes (1.35 hours) earlier is 18:39.
Other hints previously determined as
1. Chang Bunker, half of the siamese twins (half dollar)
2. 1776 refers to birth of nation US (U.S coin)
3. painting by Cezanne who was born 1839 (year on coin)
4. MSY = airport code for New Orleans (mint mark)
5. Hints (hemisphere, yin, etc) examples of halves (half dollar)
6. bandana on lady refers to figure on (Capped Bust half)

NOD2003!Yes!! x = 18:39 (in military time, hence the clue to the year of the original coin!) 1.35 is the number of hours (i.e., 1 hour and .35 of an hour (which = 21 minutes) which added to x (18:39) equals 20:00, the start of Primetime television (on the East coast/Forum time) Well done my friend!!  PM me again with your address (I may still have it form your previous wins but PM me anyway!) And so ends the Trifecta of Contests!! Again, I would like to thank all who played!! This was tons o' Fun!
