I'll think about how to handle that... I might make an adjustment to keep everyone's attention and wrap up the competition. :smile
And maybe be able to ask round about questions, nothing direct, just questions. I have a few in my mind, like, is there anything in history linking these 14 countries/nations/envelops together, besides this contest? Not asking WHAT, just, is there? I understand if you don't answer. Rules..
Your first guess was at 11:52 pm in post #63 yesterday, and your second guess came in before the 24 hour guessing cycle at 10:52 pm today... And, NO correct answers in this post.
I don't think I will get into answering questions since not all members active in guessing will be online at the same time and able to have the same chance if a clue were uncovered to help someone guessing. For your hypothetical question, no there is nothing specific about this contest that links any of the countries. I had a pile of world coins, I sorted them into envelopes, labeled them and created a guessing contest. Simple as that, no other premise or clues built in. Just requirea guessing, elimination process and a bit of patience so more people get an opportunity or two to play.
Now that I am thinking about it, I vote for keeping the rules just the way they are. I have been off in my guessing about when this contest ends. So here is my new Nostradamus type vision: This contest will last until 12/15/2010. Krispy: sleep well tonight! LOL Jon
Thanks guys. I will keep the contest as intact as I can for integrity and fairness. If there is one remaining envelope that stumps everyone, maybe we can allow a few guesses for it per post. I am still figuring it out and will announce if a change is to be made official. No change yet though. This contest is going fast, from my perspective and I think it won't need to come to new rules afterall.
A. Italy B. Italy C. Italy D. Italy E. Italy F. Italy G. Italy H. Italy I. Italy K. Italy L. Italy M. Italy N. Italy
E. Phillipines G. Phillipines I. Phillipines M. Phillipines Nobody has actually guessed this one idt. Earlier somebody did but it was before the 24 hour guess period. Also, you did not put "also, no correct answers" as you have in others. So, the Phillipines.
You are a VERY astute contestant!!! :hail: ...and will undoubtedly have coinmaster1 kicking himself silly over his loss! E - Philippines is correct. Another win goes to lincolncent!
