Didn't even see yours. Sorry.

I based my estimate on when my Dad turned in 189Lbs worth of change for almost 2100.

I haven't read all of the guesses.

But... since you're giving out 2% instead of some other random amount, I'm going to guess that 2% comes out to somewhere around $10.

Uhm, someone's probably already guessed $500, so I'll guess $536.65.

ship it!

You are lucky winner.

dtbog wins $10.67

The exact total was $533.33


What is scary is that the first reply to this thread was by thinman and he guessed $534 which was only 66 cents off. But then he went back and edited it for some reason.

Always go with your gut.

I know, but I said he edited it. For some reason it doesn't have the edited by stuff. But I know it said 534 at first because I remember my shock upon seeing it.

Is there a way to get rid of the "edited by" stuff in italics when editing that I don't know about?

Yes there is. Notice your options when editing a post..

"Mark as Edited?"

That's probably all quarters. I did 14 pounds of each and came up with about $800

Scary thing is I did a little math, and it looks like several people did the same exact calculation. Damn.
