I have a bad habit of saving my bands for a project I will probably never accomplish and I even save the ones from the cigars I smoke in my Jeep~! :confused:

                                                                     

 

There is a tiny little indention in front of the gear shift that holds my cigar cutter perfectly and a little change along with a small stack of bands, which I have to use my cutter to hold in place. :shades:

I just emptied the dang thing only to find quite a few bands were stored in there from the past several + weeks~~! :whistle:

The person who can tell me within 1/100 of a percent what percentage of them were Xiphos bands will be the first to receive a sample of my new blends (which I should have some samples available for you in a couple weeks) and maybe a few hitchhikers too~! :biggrin:

Your answer MUST be a 4 digit numeral Which will be .???? _ No decimal point,, and you are banned from CG forever~! (just kidding, but you will be required to ride the short bus from then on)  :lmao:  :lmao:

And don't worry,,, there aren't too many permutations being as there were only between 10 and 60 bands total~!  :lmao:

  This contest is open to any and all members regardless of seniority, status, rank, or likability....  It will end on March 10th to give the Arcade Contest time to wrap up (hopefully)...

  Here's a hint for you guys that hate math or were taught common core math.

   If I had 60 bands and 13 were Xiphos the answer would be 19÷60=.3166 (or .3167 if you round up, your choice here :?: ) or 40 bands and 39 were Xiphos 39÷40=.9750 etc, etc.....

Leave off the decimal point or the last numeral from your answer and you are disqualified~! Or banished, whichever you prefer..... :banghead:

Guess all month long, change your answer whenever you want to, first answer posted without any further guesses ( I suggest editing your first response to eliminate this possibility) with the response closest to the correct answer wins~!

 Contest ends March 10at 12:00 midnight~!

 If you're no good at math just give up now, otherwise let the guessing begin~! :biggrin:

 Amended rule #1: Limit your guesses to four posts please....... more than 4 is spam and you will be disqualified or bludgeoned or both~!

 

 P.S.     If you don't get the rules ask one of your kids~! :biggrin:

May I point out that this should be a 5 digit number, there must be a zero before the decimal point.  You're welcome. :smoker:

When I made my guess last night, I must have been messing around because your post wasn't there yet. Then I see your guess and my reaction was "figures, damn Gary"  :lmao:
