Well done to you oh so accurate guesstimatots. Thanks RH and Woofa.
-
Hey, big congrats Southerly :D
Did someone mention something about being thick? Can see you boys had to stick together on that guess...united we stand... united we're wrong ;) ;D ahahaha
Maybe I should have waited for both of you(Full and Jam) to guess on the Kyanite before I had a go so I could do the complete opposite ::)
-
Congrats to Southerly beers & Klingon beers
Thanx again RH beers & Paul beers
-
Hi Mehoose, was waiting for your so called 'witty' remarks. I tried to 'unlike' them but couldn't find the icon or button.
Jamo and I are like the side show ... keeping punters amused until the main result is announced. We should be commended for our selfless and humble approach to these guessing competitions. :P
Puting aside my humble approach for a moment, I still suspect some uncallibrated scales are involved whenever I 'not win'. ::)
-
Hear,Hear,,,,though I was way out..
Onya Wwoofa and Rockhunter
-
Ahh Fullerton, you know you have only one button for me ... that's :-* one.
-
:o
-
Bugga!!! Congrats to the winner wow how close was that to spot on.
thanks Rock Hunter and Woofa very generous of you
cheers Butts
-

Funny you mentioned the scales being faulty Fullerton ... I thought the same thing myself. RH perhaps you better re weigh the stones & check the answer (especially since the prize hasn't been claimed!). This time take our shoes & socks off so you can make sure you get the count right ... oh ... and make sure fb is turned off ... I know you teenagers can get distracted! ;)
Mehoose, have you ever wondered that perhaps Fullerton & I could deliberately lose so we can give other rock hounds the joy of winning? 8) Stop wondering .... I NEVER try to lose! Fullerton on the other hand is a generous soul and when he is way off the mark, I'm sure he is doing it just to encourage thee rest of us!
Off to work, to decide on my guess for the kyanite ...
-

Yep, spot on Jamo. There's no way I could randomly be so far out with my 'guesses', it's just statistically impossible :-\ By the way, I thought we were in this together >:( I'm very disappointed you have been trying to guess the correct weight!
-
Hi Jamo,
I'm feeling generous so I'm going to give you another clue ....
The correct weight has a '1' in it beers
Regards, Paul ;D

Regards, Paul ;D
What's the answer Wwoofa? only 1 winner? Or 1_ _ carats? Or only 1 Jamo who has the cheek to ask for a re-guess?
