After much fun and banter.... I took another look at the picture.... Turns out that there is a significant air gap at the top of the box. Meaning that part 1 = I errored there.
Part 2 = I errored in not adjusting for the taper enough as I had gauged the size to large - overall.

So my 2nd guess is = 1160
(Yes I looked at the spreadsheet just now)

The spreadsheet is to confusing for me!

I'm curious... Is this McPukes, BK, or Wendy's? How will we then expect such instant gratification updates to a thread contest? @Nifty-Chicken care to draw the curtain back a wee bit here please?

I'm under the impression that there is likely a handful (2-5 user ID's) that are working this (and by default the "green M&M" contest as well) so they all check it from time to time during the day. True? There is no algorithm that's active on the server that's 'chomping at the bit' to spring forth a post when the special number is posted. Correct? So by this logic (ignorant that I am here) the idea of such a delay means we should not be so quick to judge when an update will happen OR when a correct answer will be verified and congratulations given?

@muddy75 @Kiki either of y'all care to chime in here? (I'm not sure whom else to tag that have been running recent contests in here)
