<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Sims, post: 1933190, member: 59688&quot;]Everyone can submit a different guess each day, so go for it!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you read the original post the very first paragraph states specifically what the contest is about.

In that hundred dollars is a quantity of coins, 185 which you do not know. What you have to do is guess what those coins actually are and how many of each. In this example you have to try and determine that there is a total of 20 one cent pieces of which there are 5 draped bust, 10 Indian head and 5 Lincoln cents. Repeat for the two cent pieces, three cent pieces,&nbsp; five cent pieces, dimes, 20 cent pieces, et cetera. The trick is that not all denominations from half cent through double eagle are included in the total amount nor are all of the various types for each denomination.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first person to correctly guess the actual combination of coins wins the contest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
