From Texas Pete:

Now we're talking! I knew my experiment would provide some entertainment value for the folks following along at home.
I should mention a couple of other things:
(1) I'm going to bankroll 30 buy-ins and keep playing 'till i've played 200 or i've lost it all.
(2) I probably won't be playing the $30's when I finish posting the 200 hands. I currently have ~$1500 and an ROI ~30% at the 30's. (I just played a lot today away from home where I have the stats.) When I reach $2k I'll be moving up to the 50's.

OK, Texas Pete will play the 200s until his 30 buy-in bankroll is gone. So the contest is: How many $200 SnGs will Texas Pete complete until his 30 buy-in bankroll is gone? A gallon of Texas Pete goes to the winner.
Texas Pete wins the Texas Pete if he lasts 200 SnGs without losing his bankroll. So you can't guess 200.
There is no point in guessing ROI (unless he completes all 200), because the ROI is basically determined (with some variability) by how many games he completes until his $6450 bankroll is gone. The ROI is determined by dividing his profit (-$6450 if he loses his bankroll) by his investment (number of SnGs * $215). Here is a chart of his ROI based on how many SnGs he completes, to aid you in your guess:
SnGs ROI
30 -100%
40 -75%
50 -60%
60 -50%
70 -43%
80 -38%
90 -33%
100 -30%
110 -27%
120 -25%
130 -23%
140 -21%
150 -20%
160 -19%
170 -18%
180 -17%
190 -16%
199 -15%
