I've been bidding on boxes of scissors on EBay for some time. Today I finally won!
To celebrate my good fortune, we'll have a little contest here. Send me an email with your guess (preferably an integer) on how many scissors I will receive in my 30 pound box of plastic handled scissors. One entry per person please. Whoever guesses the number of scissors correctly will be awarded one pair of plastic handled scissors. In the event of a tie, I'll select at least one winner based on the entry date. In the event that no one guesses correctly, I'll award the prize to the person who comes closest to the correct number, without going over.
Special thanks to the co-workers, L_, L_, and the one who likes to be referred to as "my favorite", for chipping in and making this happen for me.
I hope you wanted scissors for Christmas.

You know, in the unlikely event that there is a tie you could just give each person a paid of scissors. After all, you will have 423 of them!
Jonzer!
closest without going over? lets see... 40 is my official guess.
p.s. who in their right mind buys a 10 pound box of scissors?
