    Had so much fun with my first contest (Quiz Time) that I decided I would do another. Quiz Time was held because I'm 40 years cancer-free & a 5 year stroke survivor. This contest is being held because my birthday is the 28th of December.

    RULES:
    1. Guess the TOTAL WEIGHT IN GRAMS of all 5 bags of wheaties (no steels). ~ See pic.
    2. US Members only.
    3. 1 guess per member every 15 minutes.
    4. Contest will end tomorrow evening at 8pm CST if no winner by then. I will then give the prize to the closest submission.
    5. Pictures will be proof of each weight.
    6. Bonus prizes to whoever gets an exact weight per each bag.

    HINTS:
    1. My scale capacity: 100gx0.01g
    2. Bag #3 weighs the most.
    3. Bag #2 weighs the least.
    4. Bag #1 weighs closest to Bag #3.
    5. Bag #4 weighs approx 15gms less than Bag #3.
    6. Bag #5 weighs > Bag #4 but < Bag #1.
    7. No bag weighs > ~90.5gms.
    8. No bag weighs < ~53 gms.

    Prizes:
    1. TOTAL WEIGHT WINNER: Gets all 5 bags of wheaties + $1 John Adams Presidential Dollar + 1953 Dime.
    2. Each EXACT WEIGHT PER BAG (total 5 prizes): $1 John Adams Presidential Dollar.
    3. First EXACT WEIGHT SUBMITTED: Will also receive a 1964 Dime.

    GOOD LUCK!!!
