The Progressive LIF

205.

This has been a lot of fun. Good luck everyone.

 

What do you mean I seem anxious? I honestly liked all of these fine posts.

 

I was so tempted to make 221 my guess, which would've meant FalconA could only win if the answer was exactly 220, but I decided that wouldn't be very "BA ish" of me.

Plus, someone else would've just guessed 222.

 

Ha! Joke would have been on you, this is just my smokescreen answer. I'm saving the killshot until tomorrow at 4:56.

 

I was tempted to guess 1, actually, and pray like hell that brees has fewer than 137 bottles in the cellar. :-)

But I'm going to go with 171. For now, anyway. Good luck to everyone!

 

So we can change our answer before the deadline or no? The instructions said "you can only answer once."

I don't think I'm changing my answer, but if new evidence comes to light, I might be tempted.

 

This "Price is Right"-style setup reminded me of a crazy story about a guy in 2008 who nailed the Showcase Showdown. I mean NAILED it. The first perfect bid on a showcase in the show's history. Naturally, they accused him of cheating, but he was legit.

A good read on it from Esquire a couple of years ago: http://www.esquire.com/features/impossible/price-is-right-perfect-bid-0810

 

He said editing your answer is allowed.

 

Stop trying to distract me. I'll read this after 5 PM tomorrow...

 

Also, if I'm corrent within 5 bottles, do you send 2 big ass boxes?

 

Ah, but my motives were pure: I thought people could glean something from this guy's technique and possibly improve their chances in this LIF. Quite selfless of me, no?

 

Because I'm sporting and don't want the advantage from having participated in this previous BIF with Brees6221. (nice JW collection/story BTW)

235 plus 1 Parabola = 236

 

Boooooooo, @brees chug that Parabola and deny this goody-two-shoes

I'm sticking to my guns and hoping those diaper boxes aren't full 12-bottle cases.

 

Fuck off, libbey.

(I already found that clue, but was hoping there was an easier one...)

 

You mean his google spreadsheet? I ain't sharing that one.

 

.:Searches furiously:.

 

Won't let me edit my previous response, so new guess: 251.

 

P.S. Thanks, libbey. I'm assuming I would have found that clue eventually as well, since I was going through posts, but I appreciate you saving me some time.
