I'll reveal this a question at a time once we get some answers. If I find the energy and time then I might tease some questions before they are revealed.

For instance

1). Guess the number of runners in Event #1

-Four people put the exact same answer
-The difference between the biggest and smallest answers given is 192

For those of us competing in all three of Peehs, Fantasy and Guesstamania, I think adding up our total finishing positions to determine the PFG would be appropriate.

PFG, of course, standing for Pokercast Friendly Giant.

Interesting that the 4 that submitted 666 are 4/6 in the PFG

Is this a sign of things to come for Xander and Wilbury?

2). Guess the number of starting tables in Event #3

If you survive your day 1 table in Event #3 then you get paid.
They are paying 50 places.
I therefore conclude that there are 50 tables

Here's what you guys said:

Player	Guess	Points
True North	34	3
darrinc	36	4
that_pope	40	6.5
Fatal Checkraise	40	6.5
hkyref33	40	6.5
BingeThinker	42	9.5
eleanor60	42	9.5
Smitty300	43	11.5
Recreational Player	43	11.5
Actual Answer	50
Wilbury Twist	54	13
xander biscuits	60	6.5
Richiegone	111	2
PeteBlow	355	1

Me thinks that PeteBlow misread this as how many runners and not how many tables...

Kind of. I picked a number for the runners and was supposed to divide it by 7.5. Forgot to do the divide.
Doh!

Oh well, everyone needed the headstart.

Just to confirm for question 3, the official final table is 8 players?
They combine at 9, but 10th and 9th earn the same money.

Final 8 players count for Q3 since that's the official final table

3). Guess the combined number of bracelets held by members of Event #5's Final Table

Here they are:

Could have been a big swing on this question if a Negreanu, Ivey or Hellmuth made the final table, but the correct answer was 7

Yep, this is precisely why I went so high... figured there would be an Erik Seidel or Negreanu type at the table. The funny thing is, I thought I would be the highest guess. Not even close!

Thinking of quitting my job and becoming a professional Guesstominiac!

Does anyone know where my fellow professionals reside for tax purposes?
