Real simple detailed rules this time.

1) If you have 50 or more posts and you've been here at least a few weeks then you can make a guess.
2) Each guess will consist of 7 three letter currency symbols. The currency list will be posted below. NO currencies will be duplicated within one answer, and shall not be allowed within one guess. All guesses MUST contain symbols from the given currency list.
3) There are two (2) concurrent games running at the same time. Each guess must be proceeded by the number corresponding to the game that you wish to play. You do NOT have to play both games.
e.g
(1) TWD,XAG,XAU,CAD,USD,JPY,GBP,SEK
or
(2) TWD,XAG,XAU,CAD,USD,JPY,GBP,SEK
or
(3) TWD,XAG,XAU,CAD,USD,JPY,GBP,SEK (explained below)

Game #1:
4) You MUST wait at least 120 minutes between guesses on this game. There must also be a minimum of 60 minutes between any and all guesses a player makes towards any game except for final guesses.
5) Final guesses will be allowed at any time. Any Final guess must include the word 'Final Guess at Game #1'. Making a final guess of this type excludes you from making any more guesses at game #1.

Game #2:
6) You MUST wait at least 60 minutes between guesses on this game. There must also be a minimum of 60 minutes between any and all guesses a player makes towards any game except for final guesses.

7) Final guesses will be allowed at any time. Any Final guess must include the word 'Final Guess at Game #2'. Making a final guess of this type excludes you from making any more guesses at game #2.

Combined Summation Guess (3):
8)At least every third guess made by each player must be a combined summation guess. This third game guess will be responded to as the sum of a guess at game #1 and game #2.

Third guess is calculated as a guess against game #1. (assume 2/0)
Third guess is calculated as a guess against game #2. (assume 4/1)
Response to third guess is therefore 6/1.

9) Summation guesses must not be within 90 minutes of any other guess previously made by the same player.

Keep in mind that I have to sleep sooner or later so someone is going to have to wait for a bit.

I will make my picks soon, and post the list of currencies. Start whenever you want after the currency list is posted.


Almost forgot, the prize is your choice of a 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 or 1972 Canadian Proof-Like Uncirculated Mint set.

Edited to correct prize to a choice.
Edited to clarify summation guess timing.

Sure, it sounds complicated, but it's not really.
If you want to play Game #1 only, simple follow those posts, and play every 2 hours. If you want a more fast paced game, stick with Game #2 and play every hour (except on your third turn.

If you are a hard core puzzler, try your luck at both game.
Post one guess at game #1, and hour later post to game #2, and one and a half hours later post to game #3.

Good luck to all.

Things I did not mention were:

You can win both games.
The standard Weavus Rule shall apply.
Questioning the rules is frowned upon, but if you must I'll do my best to be polite and impartial.

Hint to those wishing to play just one game. Watch for '0/0' guesses on game (3).

Important note:

You are not limited to a (3)summation guess every third turn. You may make a summation on any turn providing at least 90 minutes from your last guess.
