Nobody got it exactly right, but here are the winners. Since there was a tie for first place, we randomly picked a winner from the two tied entrants. 1st Place Cary G: 389 (-7) 2nd Place (tied with 1st place) Nick: 389 (-7) 3rd Place: Cathy W.: 404 (+8) 4th Place: Jennifer McAllister: 384 (-12) 5th Place (tied with 4th place) Aaron B. : 384 (-12) I will be contacting each of the winners for shipping information via e-mail. Thanks again for playing! ============================== P.S.: We actually had one entrant (Rusty Bell) who guessed 386 (which would have been 4th place), but was disqualified for entering two answers. Bummer - but that's why we have rules ;) Winners List
