We Have a Winner - Unread Email Contest Results

Jun 04, 2012 20:15

Ok, so last weekend I had a contest to see who could come closest to guessing the number of unread emails that I would find in my work inbox when I checked it today for the first time since May 25. Between FB and LJ we had a total of 21 guesses, which means that the winner gets dinner at a restaurant around the Deagans/Luxe level.

Here are all the guesses in numerical order (real names indicate FB guesses):
butterandjelly - 96
Elise - 336
Christina - 402
Mikhail - 437
Sarah - 480
Erin - 540
dmw7 - 574
Kat - 575
Eric P - 577
Emily H - 592
My sister - 666
jumpinfool - 666
Randy - 687
David - 702
hooloovooo - 712
Tom - 720
Mak - 724
Phil - 904
Patty - 1000
Mandy - 1111
tylik - 1251

And the winner is

*drum roll*

*envelope opens*

butterandjelly!

When I checked my email at work this morning, I had 128 emails waiting for me, which put her a scant 32 emails away from the correct total.

I am personally astounded at how low that number was. I personally would have guessed somewhere around 500. I got exactly one email over Memorial Day Weekend (Saturday through Monday) which has to be some kind of record low.

In any event, butterandjelly wins dinner for one at at a place of my choosing (or that I'll cook). Congratulations! Drop me a line and we can figure out when you claim your prize.

Everyone else, we're going to play this game again when I go to Iceland in August, so stay tuned for your chance to win!
