It is closest guess wins, but this contest isn't officially over until March 10th~!

  That gives you plenty of time to enter more guesses, although if you simply guess all possible combinations I will have to disqualify you for the infraction of spamming~!

    Let's limit this to 4 guesses per person please!

       Rules~! I don't do well with those things~!

            I make them up as I go.......

               And re-route the pass box to me every third person too~! :biggrin:

This contest just got disgusting.  You're telling me there are guesses that qualify as winners but you're gonna have us all second guessing ourselves until March 10th?!  You are one sick puppy! :lmao:

There can be only one winner and that is the first guess posted closest to the mark. There is, however, a possibility to beat the current leader by guessing closer than the .0031 spread.....  Get it? :confused:

"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"

That sounded to me like get within a 0.01 margin and you're a winner...alright then, two more guesses for me...

>   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 :?: )

Not sure if serious....13 became 19.... ;)

Here's my guess.

3rd guess  .3788
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Every loaf of bread is a tragic story of a group of grains that could have become beer but didn't.
