Announcing the winner for the first and only "Guess how many scissors" contest ... may I have the envelope please ...
The winner for the first and only "Guess how many scissors" contest goes to none other than Paul Jones. Paul guessed 423 scissors which was the closest guess, without going over. Congratulations Paul, you have won your very own pair of scissors!
High: 423 Actual: 453 Low: 40 Mean: 326.5 Median: 240 StDev: 129.1Special thanks to everyone who forwarded their guesses to me.

Wow! Thank you, thank you! Gosh I don't know what to say!
Well, there are so many people to thank. First of all I would like to thank my mother who taught me to never run with scissors; I think that will come in handy now! (audience laughs).
Then there is my insurance agent. Phil, thank you! Without the coverage I would never be able to use the scissors without fear of uncovered injury.
I would like to also thank my art teacher who has given me a reason to use the scissors and my science teacher who taught me how to turn a pair of scissors into magnet....I owe you one Mr. Garfield!
I would also like to thank all the people who have taught me how to use scissors over the years:
--Tia
--Mrs. Appleworth
--Mrs Johnson
