Title: Northwest Geeks Herf Contest
Post by: Shukpaw on 06/25/2014 04:14 PM
I will do what I have done the past couple of years with this contest.  Here is what you need to answer:

How many people will attend the herf?
How many cigars will be smoked during the herf?
What percentage of our main ashtray will be filled with ash by the end of the herf?
How many cigars will be gifted between the attendees during the herf?
How many combined runs will be scored between the Tacoma Rainiers and the Fresno Grizzlies at the baseball game we go to on July 12th?

That's it.  The last couple years I have sent the same gift pack I have given to the guys at the herf to the winner.  I might do that.  No guarantee.  Whatever the prize it will be worth taking the time to make a submission.

If you are attending the herf or are one of the past two year's winners, feel free to guess, but you are not eligible to win (you are already a winner).  Everyone else, you have one guess.  All guesses must be posted or modified no later than the end of the day July 9th.

Only 5 numbers to have a shot to win some cigars.

This is the last day to take a shot at this one.

Thanks again for the contest Neil.  You guys have a great time at the herf!

Thanks to all of you who took a guess.

We ended up with three Geeks at the herf.  I was expecting 4 or 5.  
We smoked 24 cigars. It wasn't part of the contest, but I think we also had 7 uses of pipes over the three days (all federally legal substances).
I forgot to bring ashtrays, but Bryan hooked us up and brought his Stinky ashtrays with him.  The main one we put all the ash in for the weekend was 43% full.
50 cigars were gifted during the herf.  Thanks again Mark and Bryan for some nice cigars.
Tacoma won the baseball game 7 to 2, for a total of 9 runs scored during the game (I know you already did the math yourself).

It was a very close completion.  Second place had an average variance of about 42%.  The winner with an average variance of about 41% is Mojo 66.  Canada.  I actually have to go to the post office and fill out paperwork to send your winnings off.  I will try to get it out no later than early next week.

Hope to see you all at Cigar Geeks Northwest Herf V July 10-12, 2015.  Olympia, WA.

Wow, I'd missed this, can't believe I won.

Thank you so much for the contest Neil. I won't say I spent hours calculating probabilities for this one but I remember I did think about it for a minute or two before entering my guesses. Guess it was time well invested.

As far as shipping goes, I'm in no hurry, please don't make a special trip to the PO for that, I can wait, I do have a few other cigars to smoke while waiting :biggrin:

If you need pointers or any help with shipping to Canada it will be my pleasure to assist, don't hesitate to PM or use my e-mail.

Thanks again, great contest. Glad you guys had fun at the Herf.

I'll be honest.  When I have a package going to Canada I pack it up and take it by the post office any time I'm in the area.  The first time the line looks like it will be 20 or so minutes or less I send it.  For U.S. postage I print my own labels so I don't have to stand in line.

I had a package for CrazyK that I needed to ship out during Christmas time a couple of years ago.  The lines were so long, I finally just left it in my humidor and sent it after Christmas. I'm sure I'll be able to get this one out long before that.
