WOW I can not believe that I guessed that close. I tried 2 years ago and missed by over 2K.

I was so eggsited this morning when I found out I had won a contest.

This is so awesome.

and yes I am jumping up and down with joy.

I hope everyone has a

, I know I will now.

Thank you everyone involved in running the NYD hatch along. You ALL deserve a BIG

Wow! That's all that were set? I was way off then with my guess. LOL Just judging by what people were 'saying' they were going to set (no, I never actually counted) I thought that number would be way higher. I guessed an average of 42 eggs per entrant (cause that is how many eggs my incubator holds) and at the time I guessed there were 233 entrants - presumably some with more and some with less. Entry numbers went up after I made my guess. I'm curious as to how many people reported their set number versus how many signed up to play.
