contest of the week...

welcome to the contest of the week for the week of 3/31-4/6.
* prize: an awesome silver and black duct tape belt. one size fits all!
* question: as of march 31, 2002, how many empty, cardboard duct tape spools does vanessa jean have in her collection?
need more info?: duct tape is rolled onto cardboard tubing in long logs. the logs (of duct tape wrapped around the cardboard) are then cut to the width of the rolls we see in stores. when all the duct tape has been used from a roll...all that is left is the cardboard spool. vanessa jean collects these leftover spools in her room, in a nice stack. if you can guess the exact number of spools (just empty ones)...you win the prize.
* how to: click below on the 'shout out' link. enter your e-mail address and your guess.
* rules: if no one guesses the exact correct number, the closest guess without going over (!) will be the correct guess. because all entrants can see other guesses, no guessing twice on the same number. if someone else already guessed it...that's too bad. one entrant per e-mail address please. winner will be e-mailed sometime after the following monday (how's that for specific!)
