    Thanks Paddy for making a fun contest to enter 2016 with. Although I still have 3 hours until 2016 here. :happy:

    The image you provided is a little distorted by the camera lens used to image the note, but I still think from the overlay that the top of the oval would peek through... could be wrong, I suppose. Paddy's tricky!

    See in my examples, I used Photoshop, made the note about 35% transparent, on its own layer and scaled to match Paddy's contest image as close as possible.

    Not gonna lie, I posted my answer before I kissed my wife. I think I am in the dog house now. Woof.

    One guess so the Contest continues until the correct amount is posted. Otherwise you all be like oh $20.09 ,20.10, 20.12 until you narrowed it down. That's not a contest it's a guessing game.

    Maybe I should have done some math. Though I know that if I spent hours doing boring math (like I once did for another contest), that even then it is nearly impossible to get the answer right, just missing one nickel will make you lose. I'm just doing this to have fun and know I will probably be far off so for my guess, showed previously in this thread, I just threw out a random number. In conclusion, either way I lose... :)

    Something tells me that this contest will go on for awhile :)

    Paddy is right, that's exactly what I would do if we were allowed more than one guess.
