Guess the Number of Caches
« on: April 02, 2009, 09:18:04 AM »
Wahh Wahh Wahh! [The Price is Right sound effect]

So, did everyone forget to make their guess for the number of caches? I was thinking about it this weekend, but when it came to posting something, I forgot. Oh well. No points I guess. But just for fun...

I'm thinking that we'll hit 40 caches, but will be really surprised if we surpass last years 46 hidden caches.
(Although Ragbag hasn't posted any of his yet... Hmm.)

I'll have to put my guess at 45 caches.  I would guess higher but don't want to end up over.

We will say 47, hoping a few others come out from the deep freeze of winter and post their attendance for the challenge.

One dollar!!!... no, wait a minute, that's taking the Price is Right thing too far.

We have carefully analyzed the trends, counted all posted and worked out all the probabilities taking into effect planet alignment, windspeed, etc... and then we just asked A for a guess... and he said 41.

So, that's our guess. ;D
I cache, therefore, I am.

Funny you mention that Jim, we went to Staples to get ink, the girl at the checkout asked if we needed paper, we said we had enough. Guess who returned back to staples...... ??? $6.49 for the Staples brand of paper. How did she know? :P
