    I just got really close to the screen and counted an area, then multiplied that out with an estimate of total size of the pile, then went back through the thread reducing my guess until it wasn't one higher than or matching anyone else.

    Hey Eric, Thanks for picking MA for your contest. :smile5:

    As it happens, I'll need a couple of items for my 52mm gages and I'll contact you guy's. I'm interested in the flex pod system for the R56.

    Talk to you soon!

    Now that just sucks....

    but I wasn't expecting to be even that close!

    Matt

    ps, I counted about 10, and then just estimated the rest. I'm happy with getting within 1%.
