USA
48 Gold

 

Sorry Im just doing updates on current standings. Guessing ended 2 days ago because I didn't want late commers to have an unfair advantage.

 

I think my guess may have been a little over zealous. Hey, the U.S could sill win 28 holds by Sunday

 

I'm needing more like 50-some

 

I think we will both be disappointed in the end...

 

I have a feeling I'm going to be one or two medals short. Is there a 2nd place prize? Kinda like a silver medal since we're keeping with the Olympic spirit? lol I had to try.

 

I picked 1 less gold then you so I kind of hope your right. lol
G/L though.

 

Of course, nobody guessed USA with 46! MrCheeks guessed 47 and Tyler G. guessed 45 ... either you institute the earlier post wins, which would be MrCheeks or "without going over", which would give it to Tyler G. ... what to do!

 

I think we have a tie here. Any new rules at this time would be unfair. I would say a tie breaker is now necessary. Flip a coin, guess the exact grade, year, or mint mark of the prize maybe? Great guesses and good luck MrCheeks & Tyler G.

 

random number generator here we come!

edit: and my first post was tongue-in-cheek ... wouldn't want any rules changed on me at the end either

 

Oh man, I was so close!!! Seen as there is a tie, I wonder what the final outcome will be!!

 

Oh, didn't you here? They decided that they didn't take up enough good TV time so they're going to put the Olympics back on for another week or 2. Maybe I will have a chance to win!!

 

FUUUUUUU!!!!! There was a troll on my shoulder when I posted this....It was USA with 46 gold and they did have a total of 104...grrrr soo close but whatever..USA!!!!!!!!

"China 46 Gold medals

or

USA with a total of 104"​

 

I'm thinking about a fair way to determine a winner here. Let me know if you have any ideas.

 

I have to admit that's pretty rough!!!

 

Random number generator like Miedbe7 suggested. Tyler G gets #'s 1-500 since he was low and MrCheeks gets 501-1000. Post a screen shot.

 

I think I'd be cool with a random number generator. Seems like a fair way to get a winner, so if Tyler G is cool with it, that would be my vote.

 

Sounds good to me. I'll run the random number generator tonight and post the results. Good luck.

 

I'd be cool with that, I've watched the olympics everyday for this contest I was so close. Micheal Philps, why couldn't you have just lost one gold medal?
