April contest (details inside)
<font color="red">Guess how much money we got for this box of coins?</font> The person who closely guesses the correct amount will win <i>Ed's Mystery Prize #2</i>.
There's a short story behind this...
I was tired of seeing a jar full of coins at my friend's house and my friend was tired of my constant harping so we went to cash these coins in at the nearest Coinstar machine. It took us about 15 minutes to feed the machine, which certainly worked at its own pace. To our pleasant surprise, we ended up getting enough money to drink and party like lotto winners at the nearest sexy trip-hop lounge. You geeks who wish to use math to calulate how much money is in this box (by using the average statistical spread of coins per cubic inch as a constant) will find the approximated box dimensions useful: 12" x 5" 8". The box seemed to be 80% full.

<font color="red"><b>Contest abstract and rules</font></b>
<li>
This is a contest of luck.
One (uno, 1, hanna) entry per AudiWorld user ID.
This contest is open to all AudiWorld members.
I don't care if you go under or over, the closest will win <i>Ed's Mystery Prize #2</i>
Participants involved in the data collection are inelligible (specifically myself, Billy and the lady at the Waldbaum's customer service desk who's eyes almost popped out of her head when we went to cash in the voucher).
Billy's brothers are inelligible to enter this contest.
Anyone who answers with "tree fiddy" or any other variation of that answer will get smacked.
This contest will involve very little estimation skills and mostly dumb luck.
I reserve the right to make up more rules and restrictions over time.
Contest ends at some predetermined time on April 5, 2006, no purchase neccessary.
</li>
I'm still a bit buzzed so I'll be going to bed now... let the guessing begin! GL everyone!
